Dervish



The Dervish is a profession available in Guild Wars Nightfall. The class has been described as "a scythe-wielding holy warrior".

General
The Dervish is a close range fighter wielding a scythe capable of hitting multiple opponents and utilizing enchantments to deal damage, cause conditions, and protect and heal itself. Many of its abilities strike multiple foes, allowing it to be a fierce combatant on the battle field.

The Dervish also has the ability to temporarily transform into 'the physical embodiment of a god'. This consists of 5 Elite Form skills, each referring to one of the five Gods of Tyria. These are incredibly useful in combat, but can only be used for short periods at a time. The scythes deal a very impressive 9-41 damage, the highest of any weapon in the game. Dervishes also have skills that allow them to be fair healers of themselves and others. They also have other abilities to add damage or conditions to their opponents, such as crippling them or making them burst into flames. With a strong offense in spells and damage, along with healing spells supplemented with the ability to turn into the avatars of gods and strike multiple opponents, the Dervish is a powerful profession.

One must remember that most of the Dervish's skills only affect those Adjacent to him or her. Thus, movement and location upon the activation of a skill are incredibly important.

The Dervish armor consists of robes, which include bracers for the hands and hoods that symbolize their humility to the gods. The armor has the same base AL as that of a Ranger or Assassin (70), in addition to also providing extra HP by default.
