SB/RI Spike
^^ Have you ever run it? I have a question about it. - Krowman    07:51, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Hahahaha, yeah, Ttgr got to rank 9 on the ladder with it. - Auron 07:58, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Did you ever run Frustration with Web of Disruption? If you had a bunch of hexers put WoB in succession on a char with Frustration, you could essentially do more than double your damage while keeping the target unable to react. Does this sound hare-brained or...? - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] Krowman   08:30, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * In a general SB/RI, that is infeasible. Only one person will have mesmer hexes and that's the RI guy, his points in dom magic are slim to none. The SBRI alone does enough damage to kill anything in one go, trying to increase damage via each individual hex isn't a great idea (although we ran N/Rt healers with icy veins; that was convenient and damaging, as IV was in Soul Reaping and no rit elites were any good for healing back then).
 * I'll try to find a gwshack sbri that we ran, not sure if any are still around that are any good. - Auron 08:38, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Thanks, though Frustration is Illusion and WoD is unlinked. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] Krowman   08:43, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Found one of dan's newer SBRI (after soul reaping nerf), should be viable. He's put in two frustrations and a WoD to make up for lack of icy veins, and he has monk backlines instead of necro ones. I've mirrored the thread here, complete with discussion on how well it works in today's meta. And by today, I mean a month ago. :P - Auron 08:59, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

Can u remove my vote? There is a bug in Recent Ratings I believe. frvwfr2  (talk · contributions) 16:02, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Done. What's the bug? - Auron 16:04, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Hmm... I dont know... I coulda sworn it was showing wrong, but I brought it up to GCard yesterday, I guess he fixed it. [[Image:User Frvwfr2 signature.jpg|User:Frvwfr2]] frvwfr2  (talk · contributions) 17:00, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

Rating complaint
Apologies if there's a more official way of sending this request, but I feel that some of the votes on my build Silent Drunkard are simply slanderous just giving straight zeros, and have caused my build to be unfairly dismissed. I know this sounds like I'm clutching at straws and whinging, but I do feel that those who posted those votes never actually tested my build. --Ckal Ktak 19:06, 21 July 2007 (CEST)
 * I agree, bunch of muppets. But then again, you wouldn't listen to any of my build-based complaints, so why would you for this guy? x/ Napalm Flame  ^_^ [[Image:Napalm_Flame_Sig_Image.JPG‎]] (talk)·(contributions) 07:42, 23 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Those 0-0-0's probably should be removed, but the build would still be in trash anyway. --Edru viransu //QQ about me 08:02, 23 July 2007 (CEST)

Suggestions?
Readem (talk *pvxcontribs ) 06:08, 30 July 2007 (CEST)

Featured builds template
Sorry if it's been discussed elsewhere, but how exactly does this template work? Can anyone wishing to "advertise" a build edit that page to put/remove a link? Let's say I want to show my untested build, I just need to wait until one of the featured builds has been there long enough, then I delete the link and put mine instead? Fabes 20:38, 30 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Well... you'd wait until it was no longer untested (gets 5 votes and has its category changed), then yeah... replace the link to the old (now tested) featured with a link to your own. - Auron 01:13, 31 July 2007 (CEST)
 * OK, but my build is untested, and no one seems to be testing/rating it :/ That's why I wanted it to appear in the current featured untested builds, so that people could see it, test it, rate it, bash/praise it, etc. Fabes 11:18, 31 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Auron means that you should wait until one of the current featured untested builds are untested to add your build to featured untested, I think. --15:47, 31 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Oh... Ok now I get it, thanks! Fabes 16:18, 31 July 2007 (CEST)

Don't you want a noeditsection tag on your page? It seems tempting to edit your personal life. -- Nova   --  (contribs) 20:58, 31 July 2007 (CEST)
 * He knows puff the magic dragon, and parties with ozzy. I made up the last part. Readem (talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 21:03, 31 July 2007 (CEST)

Btw please check out the first three ratings for. Either one of you... ;p -- Nova   --  (contribs) 16:16, 1 August 2007 (CEST)

Rating stuff
Could you check Skakid's rating for ? Are such votes accepted, knowing that they're based on skills from a campaign that hasn't come out yet and that may be nerfed soon? Sorry, forgot to sign. Fabes 09:16, 3 August 2007 (CEST)

CS Scythe Assassin
not to bug you about this again, but ... I think that we're going to re-write it. you removed all the votes when you set up the "universal scythe assassin" thing, but several people have voted since. could you please remove them? they were rating the old version, and at any rate no one should have voted on a build in "trial" (if i've understood policy correctly). thx.--Reason.decrystallized 11:57, 2 August 2007 (CEST)

Input
User:Mgrinshpon/Ideas. I tried running this but whenever we attacked we got rolled. Badly. The Dervs are dealing significant damage though, ~100-250 per attack skill.  —ǥȓɩηɔɧ 〚₮/ḉ〛 04:43, 3 August 2007 (CEST)

 * Heroes != meta? --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me 04:58, 3 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Well, the idea is that there's 3 Dervs and they bulldoze through everything. The problem is that Heroway puts up too much pressure even for a massive 3 monk backline. Any suggestions?  —ǥȓɩηɔɧ 〚₮/ḉ〛 04:58, 3 August 2007 (CEST)

Replace HoF with Imbue Health on all derv bars, replace Banishing Strike with Rend Enchantment, and brb rl - Auron 05:01, 3 August 2007 (CEST)


 * I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Just edit it yourself if you'd like or I can try to make due.  —ǥȓɩηɔɧ 〚₮/ḉ〛 05:06, 3 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Run Hexes on the heros. SS/RH/PoF/IP/Faint ect, ect. I am sure Spirit Shacks work well too. Might want some MoD in your Bars as well. Roll heroway. Finally, having a good team might help ;). <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 05:11, 3 August 2007 (CEST)

Readem provided a little input, and pointed me in your direction. I don't know very much about iQ's triple bonded Mel Dervs build, but since we already have scattered fragments of it here on the wiki, I'd appreciate it if you could post something up about it, here or at tanatopia. - <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman    05:29, 3 August 2007 (CEST)
 * This is mostly what I will be working off of. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   05:30, 3 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Have a look here. This is pretty powerful right now, and I figure people are going to start mimicking it. Having it here (at an appropriate time) can help solidify the site's reputation as a serious builds site. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   07:24, 3 August 2007 (CEST)

Battle Rage Warrior
It has Purge, DW, and Axe. It iz gud. <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 07:40, 4 August 2007 (CEST)
 * You only needed this much of that: "It has Axe. It iz gud.". --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me 07:42, 4 August 2007 (CEST)
 * It has no IAS, it has no snare, and it wastes an elite for adren skill spam - which is utterly worthless. Building adren fast enough for spikes is plenty sufficient, and that can be done without pissing an elite away to the task. - Auron 08:55, 4 August 2007 (CEST)

Zomg halp
I accidentally brought to 4.48. Go vote on it and bring it back up. -- Armond Warblade 04:39, 8 August 2007 (CEST)
 * I removed the "RaO is being too common now" vote, same effect. I wish people would learn that common builds are common because they're effective... - Auron 05:35, 8 August 2007 (CEST)

 * Also, you have mostly listed Builds that have recently entered the meta-game. Both evil and wm ran multiple linebackers, all of which used dev hammer. Are you listing the past, or only the most recent (B-light would also be considered a past meta) <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 19:44, 12 August 2007 (CEST)
 * I'm only listing the ones in the meta right now. Once something leaves the meta, I remove it from my list. If something enters the meta, I'll write it up as a build (if it isn't already written up) and put it on the list. - Auron 04:04, 13 August 2007 (CEST)

Rating Complaint
Hi, u rated my build Damaging Dragon, and said that i needed Frenzy, and Gash/Sever. If u didn't notice, in the optional slot suggestions, i said 'u can bring gash to use after Barbarous, or Tiger Stance/Flail for additional IAS.' So if you can, can u please consider that in your voting, and perhaps change your vote? sorry about this, i just feel that i should tell you! thanks! \/\/SID 16:36, 15 August 2007 (CEST)
 * "mending and flare can be switched for LoD and RoF as optional" -Skuld
 * ?i'm talking about
 * He's saying that the normal bar sucks, and that putting good skills only in optional doesn't count. Make the real bar good and I'll rate it good, put the crappy skills as variants/optionals. Tiger Stance/flail are bad IAS for swords, barbarous slice is junk compared to Sever, and gash is required, not optional. - Auron 02:51, 16 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Flail's fine for pve imo :/ –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 04:19, 16 August 2007 (CEST)

wtb advice
Could I point your obvious PvP expertise in the direction of a little HA team build I cooked together a few minutes ago. I'm not too experienced myself, and I'm open to suggestions and advice. Team - Pressuring Refrain. Thanks in advance. - <font color="#000080">(snō hwīt tăn)  [sic]  18:19, 16 August 2007 (CEST)

your opinion on this. Thanks in advance. I knew it was a good idea to ask Auron. -- Nova   --  (contribs) 01:15, 18 August 2007 (CEST)

Barrage vote
On the barrage ranger vote, would you look at J0ttem's vote. Sounds like he just has a problem with people "spamming an overrated skill". Bluemilkman 18:20, 19 August 2007 (CEST)

A question
Aren't builds that were favoured back on Gwiki moved to Good by default? Tycn 10:49, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
 * No. Some were moved to good, some were moved to trash, some weren't moved at all; there definitely wasn't a set one for them to go to. - Auron 13:42, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Actually, I believed that all of the Vetted builds on GuildWiki were in fact moved to Good by default. Of course, they can be moved to another section if they get 5 votes, but, I believe that Good was the default category.  [[Image:Defiant Elements Sig Test 2.JPG|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  22:42, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Exactly. That's what the bot did. Favored to Good, Unfavored to Trash, Testing to Untested-Trial. It might have missed some with corrupted tags, but most of them should be cleaned up by now. –&thinsp;<font color="darkblue" face="times">H HHIPPO  &thinsp;&lsaquo;<font color="blue" size="-2">sysop &rsaquo; 23:16, 20 August 2007 (CEST)

Your vote on it was removed due to PvXwiki:Real Vetting briefly forbidding author votes. For the moment, the matter is undecided. Feel free to vote again on the build. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me 05:33, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

Revote
People got their Build Vote removed, because of some "Premature" decision to Real Vetting. Vote on all your own builds again. <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 05:45, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

Yeah. Include when you do. *Defiant Elements*  +talk  05:48, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

The problem was apparently that Fvr decided that consensus had been reached that authors couldn't vote on their own builds and so added a line saying as much to RV. The problem was that immediately afterwards, about 30 votes were rolled-back as part of that "premature" decision. So, I (along with Edru) sent a note to everyone whose vote was removed. *Defiant Elements*  +talk  05:52, 22 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Where is this discussion being held? That needs to be permanently added to policy, not temporarily. - Auron 10:36, 22 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Wait what the hell? We never discussed author voting, we discussed authors removing votes from their own build. - Auron 11:23, 22 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Yeah. The discussion was going on on here.  The problem wasn't that the change was temporary, merely that it was at best, premature, which is what made it temporary (i.e. it got reverted).  And as far as Authors removing votes from their own builds, that is part permanently policy now.

posting this on my ds :p ～～～～

Asians
Found this is HA the other night, run by some Asian guild (I can't tell Mandarin from Hangul etc). He would hit FGJ!, run into a clump of people and start spamming FM! pretty much every hit. Used Skull Crack every 2 or 3 hits, Dazed went everywhere, no one had any energy, they just spiked down the rest of the team with ease. Similar to a Steady Stancer, less +damage and random conditions but has the ability to use IAS/IMS and apply Dazed on-demand. What do ya think of it? - <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman    20:35, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Decent for e-denial, which is generally shit in HA (see also; channeling). If it doesn't run relics or capture points, there isn't really a purpose for running it. Balanced for the sake of balanced always loses in halls. - Auron 22:29, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * lol, Skull Crack. Not all Asians are good Krowman, I know some who think RaO Spear is godmode :/. It isn't. <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 23:23, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Skull Crack is good if you don't suck at warrior. IIRC the first three-man FoW team had a skull crack war as the primary damage dealer. - Auron 23:26, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Meh, could always be the Glimmer/Life Sheath Philosophy coming into play ;). Also, how's school be? <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">pvxcontribs ) 23:28, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * I was in Courtyard, running IV spike. I made it fine, got a d/c in Vault, wicked rainstorm here. Never got to see if they took another shot at HA that night. It was pretty savage, the running it could int nearly anything he wanted. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] <font face="dauphin" color="maroon">Krowman   23:31, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * I've been saying Skull Crack's really good for a long time, and this proves it! Try combining this with a Hex Necro with Mark of Fury and watch as you can literally Skull Crack every second hit. - Vermain 23:34, 24 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Actually, we are saying that you have to be good, for Skull Crack to be good (Tbh, I will suck with Skull Crack always lol). Not that it is necessarily great.
