[edit] Equipment

• Windwalker Insignia
• Heroes do not use this correctly without a staff. Use a staff with +20% enchantments and two 20% HCT. Otherwise, suitable greens include Vanahk's Staff or Kyril's Fervor.

[edit] Usage

Maintain the Dervish enchantments on yourself, using Watchful Intervention on others if necessary. Spam the two Orders spells to buff your party, use Mystic Healing when the party is under pressure and Dwayna's Touch to heal sacrifice costs.

[edit] Counters

• Deep enchantment stripping such as Rend Enchantments.
• Standard caster counters.
• Symbiosis

[edit] Variants

• Dwayna's Touch can be dropped for Resurrection Signet.
• Armor of Sanctity or Conviction for extra protection, damage reduction and blocking.
• Mystic Regeneration, even at 3 Earth Prayers, provides plenty of regeneration to counter the health sacrifice.
• Imbue Health and Pious Restoration can be used instead of Dwayna's Touch for better ally healing while enchanted.
• Meditation and Natural Healing can be used instead of Dwayna's Touch as alternative self healing when -not- enchanted.
