 It's possible that we might see this class in the game, but it wouldn't have "dervish" for a name, since as Jay Wilson pointed, out that's too obscure a class name. They want short, clear names with a connotation players are familiar with. The skills and back story can be very creative and interesting, but the name should not be so odd as to confuse players.
 ==What's a Dervish?==
 [[Image:Dervish1.jpg|thumb|Whirling Dervishes.]]
 It's not clear from the name (which was Jay Wilson's whole point) what a Dervish character would have been like, since the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dervish actual definition of the term] is a sort of ascetic holy man of the Muslim faith, who lives under extreme vows of poverty.  The term "whirling dervish" has some familiarity in common conversation, and could perhaps be connected in the game to a Whirlwind-like Barbarian attack. However the literal meaning has nothing to do with violence of combat, but to a sort of spinning body movement to induce a dazed, trance like state.
