Can someone tell me why  isery   (TALK)  is an invalid raw signature and it wants me to check the html tags? Misery 06:06, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

 * I don't have any cookies. I said if. If I had enough cookies for the whole world the skies would rain down cookies. But I don't. You should complain to your local councilor or congressman. Make him give me enough cookies so I can rain them from the sky. And possibly a jet plane to effect said raining. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  06:54, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

What's yours? Mine's Izzy Cartwright. Do you like to GvG and stuff as well? 10:20, 31 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I'm interested in getting into some GvG, if you trust me enough not to suck. I'm usually on around 1900-2300 GMT or so weeknights, weekends are less predictable.

Well I can't get back on. Just try to get everything down that Hiru says is wrong w/ it, and I'll look later... 15:02, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Hiru is gone now, he just wants more killing power on the flag stand team I think. I know why he wants Infuse of Heal Other and it makes sense, but for the love of god don't kick Ethereal light, it's the only self heal on the bar. Do I need to save it? - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  15:17, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

 * HO > Infuse on HB in gvg. Orison > ethereal. Rawrawr  17:20, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, maybe I could agree on Orison, as for Infuse, it depends who your monk is. If you do both of those though your overall healing is hit twice. Might be ok with the newly buffed Patient Spirit to deal with pressure though. That will probably overheal most of the time now. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  17:46, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * But the other guy is an SoD monk w/o a SINGLE heal. So it's okay to overheal. You're not gonna get anything cheaper than 5... And we'll just get Yankel's preference for the HB.  17:56, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Overhealing for 5 energy is not a bad thing when it's got a 2 second delay on it. If you use it right you can kind of preprot with it, in a weird way. If they strip it, it also heals. -  isery   -TALK  18:29, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * In gvg, infuse on HB is actually stupid though =\ Rawrawr  18:38, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

so. was flagged but i'd like to get some feedback on it. is there a way to get a response on a build? --Deflective 18:05, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Unfortunately people tend to ignore builds until they are in testing. Just remove the abandoned tag, throw it in testing and try and get it featured. That will get you feedback, but fast and harsh. If it gets trashed, alter the build as per suggestions and get a vote wipe, start again. It's kind of the brute force way to get your build through. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  18:55, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
 * thanks for the quick response. is there a page i should look at to try and get it featured? --Deflective 19:55, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
 * See featured builds on the main page? Watch the untested PvE ones, if one of them gets 5 votes or gets categorised, you can replace it with your build. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  04:37, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Monk Prestige Armor
Trying to decide what armor to get for my female monk. I'm thinking Elite Canthan, Ancient or Norn. I am mildly open to suggestions, but those three appeal the most at a glance. Thoughts? -  isery   -TALK  16:38, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

 * It was suggested to me, and I thought about it, but I don't really like the chest armor that much. I thought I liked Ancient, but it dyes lame, it's always browny red no matter what you do to it. I was only going to get Norn because I wouldn't have to do much, Elite Kurzick I'd still have to play a lot of factions, might as well do the whole thing, if I'm paying for Elite Armor I can pay for runs on any missions I'm too lazy for too. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  09:49, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

 * People like what they like for weird reason and likewise dislike what they don't like for weird reasons. I think it's the shoulder pads on the Elite Canthan that do it for me and this scares me. I actually kind of like the non-elite Kurzick, but that defeats the purpose of buying Prestige Armor. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  10:03, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

RA Lesson for the day
Two monks with an elementalist and a warrior is an ok team, except when said warrior is a bow warrior. Then you have two options, /resign or grief. I chose /resign, everyone else chose grief.

 * About a month ago I got so pissed off monking for bad teams in RA I went through all the various melee monks. Sword monk was my favourite, especially because people assumed it was just a caster sword until I pwned someone's face off with it. I stopped when one of the guys I had gotten a glad point with earlier in the day recognised me and was like "... Wtf Misery? You've monked for me before, you are better than this."

After like 2 minutes it came back and we were at the winning cinematic. I dunno what happened, but I was happy. The only build I noticed was the Assassin with Healing Breeze who must have been running like 4 superiors. He was the only one to die, except for the Warrior who got spiked by the Elementalist boss. The assassin KEPT dying in like 3-5 seconds, with Seed of Life on him and under constant red bars go up. I don't think anyone brought prot, I was the only monk to ping my bar and I like red bars go up in PvE, it's fun to use Patient Spirit under Healer's Boon now and most of the time I am browsing the web while I c-space with H/H so my bar doesn't really matter. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  09:26, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Fail from Guild Chat
No RA tonight, just failure in my Guild Chat. Starting to think it's time to move on :| I don't know how the fuck they screw up the "moving" condition with an instant cast shout, but apparently they do. Also, only noobs use wiki builds, that's why things get nerfed, noobs using wiki builds and pwning too much face in RA. Just thought you would all like to know how Anet balances PvP. It doesn't have anything to do with high end PvP, it's based on RA. Observer mode doesn't exist, PvX Wiki is solely responsible for bad players having good builds like "Spike sins" and "Enchantment Dervishes".

Thought for the day
Meteor Shower is very powerful on a warrior primary. You can use a Stonefist Insignia so with Knockdowns every 3 seconds they can't escape after the first knockdown.

Being able to instantly swap out skills and stats is to me the biggest success of Guild Wars. If you make a mistake when you first make your character you aren't fucked forever like you were if you played Diablo II and put all your skill points into a mix of Axe and Sword Mastery so you could double wield a sword AND an axe because it looks cool.

 * I think Daggerfall was the best of the bunch to be honest. Every one of those games you can get brokenly good at things like jumping but the skill system in Daggerfall was ridiculously easy to abuse. I have to say Oblivion and Morrowind have shown impressive community development, it's a pity that the core game that is produced tends to be pretty meh. Seriously, they should look into turning the next Oblivion into the RPG equivalent of Second Life. I would never ever use Second Life but if you turned Oblivion Online into a playground for fledgling animators, skinners and modelers to show off their awesome designs gaming companies would have an excellent place to dig for talent. And of course, there would be lots of naked polygons. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  05:17, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
 * That can only be a good thing IMO. Oblivion is seriously easy to manipulate. I made a custom race last night in about 30 minutes so that I could use the high-res skin with tattoos on my character without every single human-type looking like a clone of me after I looted their corpse. It was kinda weird to kill something, loot the armor, and then have a naked corpse with my tattoos laying on the ground <_< - PANIC!

 * I never really got into modding Morrowind enough, that's probably why I got bored and left it by the wayside. I got the improved anatomy, faces and hair mods (because the defaults are fugly for some reason) but that is about it. Daggerfall's built in custom race and class creation was so broken. I can't remember the exact details, but you did things like make a race with immunity to paralysis, then gave it crippling weakness to paralysis, which would have no effect because you were immune to paralysis, thus freeing up the "overpoweredness" points to use to give yourself pimp abilities. You HAD to make your primary skills running and jumping or you would never level up, but if you did you got to max level like instantly. Really the problem I have with the games is that you can't play them normally. Well you can, but the game sucks if you do. Roll a default class and race and the performance is pretty mediocre. The quests are boring, you get loot pretty slowly, the main game is just ass. If however, you make your class haxx so it levels up instantly and spend the first hour of the game looting daedric armor and daggers from peoples shops and houses and skip straight to slaughtering whole towns and high level dungeons, the game is pretty fun, but it gets kind of old being a god amongst mere mortals. I played a character who only used unarmed in Morrowind for ages, that was actually pretty fun, with 100 in unarmed and sufficient speed you can kill like any creature in the game by knocking it out with a barrage of punches so fast it can't ever hit back, then stabbing it while it's down, then switch back to unarmed and knocklock it whenever it gets up. Knocking out those mechanical golem things with your bare hands takes a while. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  05:37, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Monk elites don't matter, if you have to use them, you are bad. Man, this makes me want to play with a few different monk elites now, I've usually religiously stuck to ZB or WoH, but you know what? I don't need them any more. Droks taught me a lesson, go fucking figure. I know anything can get glads, but it wasn't even hard to keep a team up using just those first 6 skills, until I hit antiprot + knockdowns. I hate Shattering Assault sins.

Axe Monk vs Sword Monk!
After a couple of false starts in RA last night getting ganked by the same Wail of Doom necro twice in a row(the guy used it like a bloody interrupt on ZB, and yes, I know WoH is good, but ZB has character) I found a team that knew how to pressure anti-monks. Actually one of the guys had never PvPed before and was a crazy Leeroy Jenkins type, but it was all good, we got our 10 wins. He kept asking what the point of PvP was and what he could use Balthazar faction for and if he could unlock skills on his PvE character and if he could use Z keys on that character. He also said "We are all friends, right?" quite a few times but aside from his "I'm a go way over here out of your healing range" nature he was ok, I'm sure his build was cruddy because he kept healing himself, but I'm digressing. The point, as you can see from the title is my epic Axe Monk vs Sword Monk battle. I usually run around with an enchanting sword when I'm running ZB. In a kill-count match we were up by like 5-0 in the last 30 seconds with two of them left alive, two of my team were off wailing away on the mesmer when their monk wielding a chaos axe ran up to me and started hitting me with it. Turns out he was a genuine axe monk using attack skills and everything. Had a ritualist on my team, he cast Nightmare Weapon on me and said "Gogogo!". The guy must have had 3 superiors or something, because that axe monk went down in like 2 casts of Nightmare Weapon, so for future reference, Sword Monk > Axe Monk. -  isery   -TALK  03:48, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Hey, started making a build, only registered and started the build 1 hour ago. a few quesiton

1. how do i get mini pics of skills for optionals for example.

Optionals

 * (SoD pic) Shield of deflection for extra prot.

2. how do i get my build up on the builds to be tested?

3. i cant see to put which area it is in, e.g. pve team builds. could i have the code if i wanted the build in PvE Team builds and also PvE General. as its saying unknown when i have finished it.

thanks &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Divine Bicky (contribs).
 * ARGH! Ghost writing on my talk page! Please remember to sign comments on talk pages using "~" . Ok, time for questions:
 * Mini skill pics can be added using, i.e for SoD  gives
 * To put a build into testing put the tag at the top of the page. You need to know the correct format for the type, for example for PvE general put "general" in for one of the types. To find the right format for the type, go to a build of that type and hit edit, see how they tagged it.
 * Lemme go look those up for you, I don't make PvE team builds. Ok, the correct tag would be, capitalisation matters.
 * Throw that tag at the top of the page and it will be in testing, walah. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  09:03, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

RA SUPERTANK!
Fought against this PRO warrior in RA last night. I was practicing Magebane because my interrupts are horrible and this embarrasses me and I ran up against this badboy: [build prof=warrior/ranger][Riposte][Deadly Riposte]["I will survive!"]["I will avenge you!"][Bull's Strike][Lion's Comfort][Melandru's Resilience][Charm Animal][/build] I don't know what stats he was running, it's probably top secret. We were lucky the rest of his team were all noobs and died leaving just him alive so we could focus fire to kill him otherwise he would have totally decimated us I'm sure. Magebane Shot would have had no affect on him! Oh and by the way, interrupts are noob. I was on a team with another ranger against 3 elementalists and a monk. One guy managed to die twice(I think it was the other ranger actually...) even with all those interrupts flying around and I was the only person who brought a rezz apparently. The battle went on for like 6 minutes after that with just interrupts and blinding flashes until we eventually crumbled and were told that we were "interrupt noobs" who should "leave the HA and GvG builds in HA and GvG". -  isery   -TALK  07:44, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
