This Dervish build uses Mysticism and Wind Prayers to heal and to deal damage. The build's name comes from the combination of Featherfoot Grace and Harrier's Grasp to deal massive damage whilst crippling fleeing foes.

[edit] Usage

Cast and maintain Zealous Renewal as much as possible.
Use Reaper's Sweep on targets with health 50% or below.
Use Chilling Victory after Reaper's Sweep to deal massive spike damage.
Alternate attack pattern:
- Use Chilling Victory to get your target to 50% or below health, then use Reaper's Sweep followed by Mystic Sweep for a fast spike.
Cast Harrier's Grasp then Harrier's Haste in order to catch and deal major damage to fleeing foes.
Use Wild Blow to deal critical damage and to remove stances.

[edit] Counters

Anti-melee conditions/hexes apply.
Enchantment removal will hinder this build.

[edit] Variants

Replace Mystic Sweep with Pious Restoration for a quick healing spell and a situational hex removal.
Replace Mystic Sweep with Mystic Vigor for a form of self-healing.
Replace Mystic Sweep with Dwayna's Touch for a sufficient self-heal.
Replace Reaper's Sweep with Wounding Strike for a situational attack.
Replace Chilling Victory with Victorious Sweep if you want a more sufficient heal.
Replace Featherfoot Grace with Harrier's Haste for a cheaper stance with bonus damage.

[edit] Notes

The lack of self-heal (except when if you keep Mystic Vigor or replace it with Dwayna's Touch) requires this build to rely heavy on the monks. Therefore, it may be wise to carry a Vampiric Scythe for your healing.
