Archive:D/any AoB Dervish

This dervish uses Avatar of Balthazar as both a constant IMS for spiking and for more durability as a 70 AL frontliner.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=D/Any Scythe=12+1+1 Mystic=11+1 Wind=6][Avatar of Balthazar][Chilling Victory][Pious Assault][Eremite's Attack][Attacker's Insight][Grenth's Aura][Pious Fury][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Equipment

 * Survivor Armor
 * Zealous/Vampiric/Ebon Scythes

Usage

 * Use Avatar of Balthazar right before you encounter the enemy and maintain it as much as you can.
 * Spike with Chilling Victory followed by Pious Assault and Eremite's Attack.
 * Use Attacker's Insight and Grenth's Aura before spikes to combat energy issues and enchantments.
 * Resurrect dead party members with Resurrection Signet.
 * Note - When putting up Avatar, keep an eye out for Gale Spammers and Rangers.
 * With Pious Fury, when using it with Grenth's Aura, if the opposing monk uses a Protection Enchantment, simply tap the Pious Fury key and you will receive an IAS AND an AoE-ish Enchantment Removal.
 * Be careful not to remove Attacker's Insight with Pious Assault or Pious Fury.

Random Arenas

 * Consider taking Natural Healing or Faithful Intervention for a self heal in a team without a monk.
 * Do not put up the Avatar until the battle starts. If the Avatar is wasted before battle, you become much more vulnerable.

Alliance Battles

 * Consider taking Natural Healing or Faithful Intervention for use outside of battle and while you're running.
 * Remember to save your avatar for when you're actually fighting, rather than when running to places.
 * You have extra armor with AoB, therefore, 1v1 situations are perfectly viable.

Counters

 * Standard anti-melee counters.

Variants

 * Death's Charge and/or Guiding Hands.
 * Death Pact Signet or some other hard rez instead of Resurrection Signet.
 * Mystic Sweep in enchantment-heavy builds.
