why did you put spear mastery back in? the general concensus(sp?) on the talk page was that it should be removed. - Skakid9090 07:16, 15 July 2007 (CEST)

scythe sins ftw?
I remember voting against that shit on gwiki, and it's just one big mess here. I'm tempted to just delete them all and say "try again, all in one build plx." - Auron 05:33, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

 * Done. - Auron 05:53, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

I do. As quoted by Shireen:

Was a glance and unfavor. Build runs of a completely different engine. Only comonality is they are sins with scythes. One runs for conditions, other runs for criticals. I rolled back all three votes and moved it back into testing. Even if it was a copy cat build, the proper procedure would be to place a PVX:Well tag on the front page. Not give the build a '0.0' vote. A 0.0 vote is for the absolute worst builds that has no possible hope of functioning, NOT copy cat builds. Shireen sysop  05:06, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

They have completely different focuses. Okay, so what you've just done is exactly like saying 'Okay, we are moving every single sword warrior build into one. Stop posting sword warrior builds.' Do you know how RIDICULOUS that is? Napalm Flame  ^_^ (talk)·(contributions) 17:57, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Sword warriors can fill different roles, my friend. A Cripslash is useful in spreading Cripple, while a DSlash is all about damage output. - [[Image:Kowal.jpg|15px]] Krowman   19:27, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

 * Too bad Scythe Assassins suck. What you're saying about this gimmick is that every variant of a Touch Ranger deserves its own article. The fact that you're comparing Warriors to A/D's using Scythes makes your entire argument flawed. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 20:11, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * That's bias again. This wiki is all about creating and rating builds, and allowing people to 0-0-0 a build which CLEARLY doesn't deserve it just because the build 'isn't the best build in the world' is just fucking bullshit. And no, not every variant of a touch ranger deserves it's own page, especially when they are both spamming vamp touch and vamp bite, while using a few defensive stances. For fucks sakes don't you get that the only similarity is the WEAPON AND THE ELITE? And no, that comparison doesn't make it flawed. So fine, tomorrow I'm going to merge every backbreaker, every cripslasher, every single build which has the same elite as another build. Happy now? Napalm Flame  ^_^ [[Image:Napalm_Flame_Sig_Image.JPG‎]] (talk)·(contributions) 20:29, 20 July 2007 (CEST)
 * The only needed similarity is the weapon and the elite. Other are just mix and match (they really don't matter). And if you're on a builds wiki complaining about bias, then please, QQ more. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 20:32, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

I'm going to re-iterate my point because everyone obviously missed it. Napalm, this is especially for you, since I've described it on several pages and you still don't understand. Builds can be merged if their purpose is the same. '''It doesn't matter how many skills they share in common. Use your head. If they do the same thing, they're comparable; if they don't serve the same purpose, don't merge them.''' In this case, an incredibly gimmicky assassin wielding a scythe does the same thing as another (equally gimmicky) assassin with a scythe; they're using the same elite to achieve the same purpose (exploiting the high crit damage from scythes). Now, as soon as one of the scythe sin builds starts doing something other than merely relying on crits from scythes, we'll start talking about its purpose; but as I saw it, they both did the same thing. Any questions? - Auron 06:39, 21 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Err, yes. I get that bit, but they do have a slightly different purpose. One is for quickly killing foes, while the other is for spreading conditions. Picky me ftw. <font color=#ff0000>Napalm Flame  ^_^ [[Image:Napalm_Flame_Sig_Image.JPG‎]] <font color=#0000ff>(talk)·(contributions) 18:06, 21 July 2007 (CEST)

Build Changes
Seeing how you're against the Marauding Master, I would advise you to not add things too it. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you can add negative things to the page. It may be true, but let the people who test it decide. Bluemilkman 05:59, 26 July 2007 (CEST)

 * It doesn't matter when something of truth is added to a trash build. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 21:47, 26 July 2007 (CEST)
 * So, do you want me to add, "This build sucks," to the Tank Master. If I believe it's the truth, then it doesn't matter if I add it. Bluemilkman 23:15, 26 July 2007 (CEST)

 * What makes you say that? You can attack continiously under Flail, and after it's charged, you can use your combo or whatever, then keep attacking under Flail.

 * You can't attack continuously under flail because people use wasdqe and get to ignore you for the duration of Flail. It's been used in GvG a couple of times. This is true.

 * I think we might as well just stop arguing and silently disagree, because I've think we've pretty much covered all of the pros and cons of both. I still think Tiger Stance is better.

Rapta's Builds
You have a lot of balls ripping other people's builds apart, but as far as I can tell I don't see any of your own builds. Much less a build that has been vetted. If you know so damn much about what makes a good build, why do I not see 5-5-5 builds in the wiki with your name on it mister high and mighty? Greevar 05:20, 30 July 2007 (CEST)


 * this is a buildwiki, expect your build to commented on. &mdash; RAWR! [[Image:Skasig.jpg|19px]] <font color="#336666">Skakid9090 05:22, 30 July 2007 (CEST)


 * I've also written more builds on this Wiki than you've got days registered. And also, those builds are horrible. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 05:27, 30 July 2007 (CEST)

I expect constructive criticism! Not "You're build suxorz n00b! Why did you even post it?" Come ON, if he's knows so damn much then he should know how to fix it. That's the thing, he doesn't! BUT AT LEAST I TRY! GIVE ME SOME CREDIT FOR THAT! Help me! Don't ostracize me! Greevar 05:30, 30 July 2007 (CEST)

That last build was not horrible! If you did the math you would see that it does a lot if damage. I did the math. 370 damage minus what armor negates. Greevar 05:33, 30 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Maybe your build is, like most, not only horribly bad but unfixable. I haven't seen it, so I don't know, but that may be the case. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me 05:36, 30 July 2007 (CEST)


 * Also, what you just said is nowhere near what I posted in a ratings page. You might want to try reading it before starting a foolish rant on my talk page. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 05:38, 30 July 2007 (CEST)

From the rating page of the D/Rt Splintering DW Dervish build "Yeah, another random melee build with Splinter Weapon thrown in. Nothing too good, nothing new. Bad choice of enchantments, 2 attacks... 1-0-1" Those were your exact words. I thought the point of the real vetting policy was to make sure quality builds get listed, not give pompous asses an excuse to beat down the creativity and explorative discovery of others? So tell me how your comment contributes to the quality of the build? Also, and this is a message for everyone, this wiki seems to assume that everyone who comes here has a UAS title on their GW account. It wouldn't hurt to have some builds based on the limited skill pools for the benefit of new characters or just new players. Greevar 05:48, 30 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Too bad policy rather says we can't: "There is no point, for example, in storing a basic fire nuker build that lacks an elite but is easy to prepare (buying skills, weapons, armor, and runes) when the same site can easily store a much more powerful and focused build." Rapta's vote is right, by the way. Your build has too few attacks, bad enchants, and is hardly innovative or creative. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me 05:52, 30 July 2007 (CEST)
 * That derv build is terrible, read my vote on it. - Auron 05:54, 30 July 2007 (CEST)


 * Alright, you all think it's bad. But you actually gave constructive criticism. Now I know WHY it's bad. Thank you. Greevar 06:00, 30 July 2007 (CEST)
 * You obviously don't know what constructive criticism is. Bad choice of enchantments - put better enchantments. Too few attacks - add more attacks. And so on. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 06:01, 30 July 2007 (CEST)


 * And I'm asking, which enchantments are good? Mystic regen? Ebon Dust Aura? gimme a clue. Greevar 06:07, 30 July 2007 (CEST)
 * Heart of Fury owns. Stick something useful, cheap and that can be kept up constantly in and possibly Heart of Fury. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me 06:10, 30 July 2007 (CEST)

Trashing Builds
Hey, do you mind not trashing a build that has been changed since it was voted on? It's in trial. But you can't wait to send another one of my builds to the trash can you? Greevar 03:36, 31 July 2007 (CEST)
