i had an in-game conversation with someone this weekend about playing as a dervish. in guild wars, a dervish is a scythe-wielding character which both conjures elemental magic to their aid, and rushes in for melee combat. they showed me their build, i told them i didn't know if it was good or not, but as long as it worked for them that was cool. they said that they really liked playing dervish and felt it was a pretty powerful build. i told them i didn't care for it when i tried.

"i prefer to stand back and throw things."
