VersionChanges
3.25.0
  • The Dancing Dervish Unique Sword no longer has "Manifested Dancing Dervishes disabled both weapon slots". It now has "Cannot be used while Manifested", meaning you can now weapon swap after Manifesting Dervishes and still use items in your second weapon set.
    • 3.2.0
  • The Dancing Dervish now carries across any cosmetic affects applied to it when it is Manifested.
    • 3.17.0
  • The skill granted by The Dancing Dervish is now called "Manifest Dancing Dervishes" and manifests two copies of the Sword. Existing versions of The Dancing Duo are affected by this change, and no longer have "Manifest Dancing Dervish also manifests a copy of Dancing Dervish". The Dancing Duo can no longer be acquired. The Dancing Dervish has further changes unrelated to The Dancing Duo's removal, which are detailed in the Unique Item Balance section.
    • The Dancing Dervish unique item has no accessible way to sustain its mechanic on Boss fights, mostly due to Rampage stacks being difficult to activate in these fights and the summoned minion's behaviour feeling sluggish while clearing.
    Change The Dancing Dervish to cause you to gain rampage on melee hits and improve its minion behaviour.
    The Dancing Dervish's "Rampage" modifier now also has "Melee Hits count as Rampage Kills", allowing players to easily build up a new rampage streak without having to kill monsters. This stat will not affect you while rampaging as Dancing Dervish disables itself on rampage but the existing behaviour where the minion generates rampage kills on unique hits is still present.
    3.11.0
  • The Dancing Dervish now has 130-160% increased Physical Damage (from 160-190%).
    • 3.1.0
  • The Dancing Dervish: While Manifest Dancing Dervish is active, the Dancing Dervish now has a 25% chance to grant you a Rampage kill when it hits a unique enemy. The minion created by this unique can no longer cross unwalkable gaps. These changes affect all versions of the item.

    Edit

    The Dancing Dervish

    The Dancing Dervish is a unique Reaver Sword.

    Modifiers

    The Dancing Dervish grants level 15 Manifest Dancing Dervish. Manifest Dancing Dervish will be supported by any applicable support gems socketed into The Dancing Dervish; it is not necessary to have the sockets be linked together. The manifested sword does not deactivate when swapping to different weapons, however, the weaponslots remain disabled while it's active.

    While The Dancing Dervish is manifested, the player character is considered unarmed and is affected by Onslaught, therefore effects such as Facebreaker's, Doryani's Fist's, or Hollow Palm Technique's unarmed damage bonus will take effect. As soon as Rampage ends, the manifested weapon will vanish and the character reequips the weapon reenabling the weaponslots. The Minion itself has a lot of damage reduction while it's active and will not die that easily. A little bit of minion life regeneration suffices to keep it alive and healthy.
