anymore the eviscerate executioners spike dont work that much but its fairly effective. very weak against any type of anti melee and shock is a costly interrupt skill

The Name
Means exactly what it says. It's Snakes on a Wii. That's all there is to it.

The Philosophy
Guild Wars is full of asshats and losers, and some of them happen to be "good" at the game. Based on the personality, intelligence, and maturity of the average player, I would conjecture that the average player is a 14 year old kid with personal insecurities.

However, I know from experience that some of these people are old enough to act like adults. Sad, really.

It is important to realize that it doesn't matter if a player is "right" or "wrong" when they have an opinion of a build or another player. There are limited objective standards one can use to measure a build's anything, and "effectiveness" is not a clear-cut thing either. There are exceptions, but the majority of the GW community is opinionated and very convinced of their opinions based on personal or secondhand anecdotal evidence, and they don't like to be "wrong", because "wrong" means that they're "bad" at the game, and the object of the game is to not be "bad". They take it very seriously, and will rage for hours because of the littlest thing. To an outside observer, it would seem very bizarre, but that's how it is.

Every player has their own world-view of the game, about what the "meta" is, and what "balance" would be. They will argue for hours, even with someone who technically agrees with them. It is possible that by arguing they are fulfilling a need within themselves to sound important, informed, and smart; it is also very possible that they are simply poor communicators. In any case, the medium of transmission has its own effect; it is often said that people say and do things over the Internet that they would not do in-person.

The Player
I used to play a lot of HA until it got boring and all my friends quit. Now I'm on every so often, mostly H/Hing PvE. I don't know why I still play this game when it's so full of AIDS and fail... probably because of the occasional epic win/broken build.

The Person
I'm a Physics and Mathematics Major at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I want to be a research scientist. I am also a skeptic.
