Path of the Dervish

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Dervish turn combat into a whirling dance of steel and fury. Rather than relying on massive weapons, these warriors favor light blades and swift strikes, darting across the battlefield with impossible speed. A Dervish is difficult to pin down and even harder to stop. Their fighting style is a storm of movement and steel, striking from unexpected angles before vanishing from reach.
