Perma fanboy
3-3 is trash, still. That build is definitely above trash, and a runner like that should never be rated upon depending on how hard it is to run with. -- -Ch  ao  s-   18:03, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a trash build. Its inferior to other running builds and requires the use of alcohol, and pointing out that a perma-sin is a better runner doesn't necessarily make me a "perma fanboy". Dok 23:52, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * While I'm at it, perma sins aren't better runners, only safer. -- -Ch  ao  s-   16:38, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Why are more physicals bad? Generally, the more damage you have, the better off you are, especially when you're not sacrificing any defense. I did change the builds to add more condy/hex removal, as well as changed the motigon to a second Command hero, meaning you can chain "Fall Back!" as well as have more damage. Also, crunching the numbers: considering spear attack speed with 25% IAS, and accounting for one crit every other attack (there are now two "GftE!"'s in the build, and with Dark Fury the crit rate may even be higher), and adding in OoP's damage buff, each Paragon's DPS is about 33.5. This is before attack skills or burning from Anthem of Flame and Blazing Spear, which will be spammed to hell with Dark Fury up and will add a fairly significant increase in DPS. AFAIK, that adresses and fixes all the issues you had with the build. -- Jai  15:26, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Physicals are the best things in PvE tbh. -- Short 16:36, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * When playing with 2 human physicals, you're more likely to encounter a situation in which you need more cond/hex removal and healing than a situation where you'd need extra damage. At least, that's what I believe after playing through much of PvE with 2 dagger spammers/crit scythes.

 * you suck, an E/mo infuser/prot is better then any other healing/prot hero. you dont need any more defense than that, really.

hey
chance your vote on the Contagion Bomber, you cant down-vote it because its inferior to RoJ Monks. monks=/=necro's. also, while your at it, vote 3/3 on all the N/Rt healing builds because their inferior to monk heals /end sarcasm. also, a BOMBER doesnt HEAL AND DEFEND SHRINES.--Bluetapeboy 19:38, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comparing it to a RoJ monk should be acceptable; builds for JQ don't need specific roles. You can't pick your team, so you should be prepared to deal with various things. Of course a bomber doesn't heal or defend shrines, that's why I downgraded it.  I'm not saying the N/A build is a bad bomber; I'm saying bringing a bomber is stupid.  I don't plan to change my vote, but I'm sure you could take advantage of the fact that I'm an unknown, and get it removed. Dok 01:06, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Archive:R/D PvE Scythe Ranger
Pets aren't strictly better if you're going for balling foes (mostly because of their dismal pathing AI), which is what you would logically do with a scythe now. It's AoE spike ability is also better than a dagger ranger, and a pet contributes pretty much nil to such a spike. I think you're voting based on incorrect usage of the build, essentially. --  Toraen   talk  14:39, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Having run nothing but pet scythe for the entirety of WiK, dozens of vanquishes, and every HM dungeon, I've never had any problems appropriately balling foes with the pet. I will concede that this can still do damage if you're able to spam Reap Impurities (Apply should really be mainbarred for that, though).  All right, I'll revote. AegisDok 20:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I just hate having it around if I'm doing serious ball->spike since it's effectively wasted skill slots and attribute points when you blow everything up so quickly. --  Toraen   talk  02:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The pet AI is annoying, but from my observations they tend to ignore the pet in favor of minions, spirits, or my poor caster heroes, so it rarely affects balling. AegisDok 21:46, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * In some areas this doesn't seem to happen. Either that or it's just getting hit with a lot of AoE targeted at the minions. --  Toraen   talk  21:48, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

"KD is about all this has going for it. If you want damage from your ele, admit that arena-net has no regard for game balance, and move to the frontline already. Otherwise, delegate yourself to a support role or abuse ER." I urge you to reconsider your vote because, to put it blunty, a 2.6 rating and your arguments are retarded. The AP caller build, or discord caller as some people sometimes call it, provides good damage and is easy to use, regardless of profession. Taking this into account, and the fact that the ele brings along strong conditions and knockdowns, just makes this a very solid build. It's the strongest DPS build for an elementalist and "Taking it to the frontline" just doesn't hold up. Vorpal  20:47, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * AegisDok; you might want to read Relyk's guide to testing and rating. Review your vote. Minion Minion_sig_k_bish.jpg 07:09, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That the one build got trashed does not validate your logic for downgrading it, and I'm not interested in getting into another pointless 'discussion' about it. AegisDok 09:16, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * So your downvoting a great build is due to feeling bitter about not keeping a build the community dislike on this site? Minion Minion_sig_k_bish.jpg 09:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I was just skipping forward to the inevitable point in the conversation where I was questioned about how frontlining would be more effective at doing the same thing (which was part of my vote), in order to save myself some time. You are, of course, free to believe whatever you'd like about me. AegisDok 10:23, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you see a dagger ele build here? I don't. Your comparison holds no ground, because you're comparing the build with something outside the current universe we are dealing with. This simply is the ele build with the best DPS. Quite frankly, I think you're just butthurt. Vorpal [[Image:Vorpal_Signature_1.jpg|19px]] 12:37, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * If you have an issue with my vote, fine; take it up on the AN. I consider my vote to be valid, and have only ever troll voted once, and it wasn't the AP Ele. AegisDok 13:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Saying a build is worse than one that was trashed is valid reason for voting it down. I don't agree with Aegis's trash vote, but I don't see a concrete enough reason for removing it at this time. I will mention that AP Earth is basically a support role (meatshield spam, blind, KD, maybe EBSoH) though. --  Toraen   talk  20:00, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The Earth Ele page has AP listed as an optional elite (I quite like the elite itself, especially with DoT AoE), and I did rate it Good a while back because it is a serviceable support build for an ele to run.AegisDok 22:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * After that comment, your current vote now makes little sense to me. Why would you not rate this equally? Minion Minion_sig_k_bish.jpg 00:44, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Because I feel generic Earth + optionals would be better for support, and frontlining would be better for damage. AegisDok 02:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That's pretty much impossible. AP allows you to spam your support with near-endless energy if you use GoLE enough. AoE blind support constantly as opposed to every 25s I think instantly shows the value of AP, especially as the blind only lasts 5s at a time. There is no Earth bar anyway; it's in trash!

Archive:Team - 7 Hero FoCway
Your vote was removed due to being outdated, since there is no MM anymore. A more minor issue I had was your statement that a spike heroway slows you down when it's actually the faster way to do things (as agreed on RoJway). Regardless, feel free to revote. --  Toraen   talk  03:13, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Eh, Smite/Mesmers + generic support blows up balled mobs just as fast and is also more c-space friendly than FoC. Still, if people want to keep the build, I'm not going to make a fuss. AegisDok 04:09, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Build:R/W Earth Shaker
Your vote is based on the advantages of taking a pet, while the goal of the build is to tank and ball foes and then shut them down while your heroes spike. I was just wondering if you could elaborate on how a pet does this better? :P  RąʂKɭɘş ♣  14/f/japan  23:30, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That the build is intended to be used with a spikeway should be indicated on the build page. Even then, the Pet will be ignored by the AI; it doesn't interfere with what you want to accomplish with the build.  I must have missed the part where I said the pet is better at balling than a player is, but thanks for keeping me up to date on what my opinions are; I appreciate it. AegisDok 22:35, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You can't ball with a pet in pve, if you kite enemies they'll just retarget on your pet, your argument lacks solid facts and is based completely on your preference for pets. I could care less if you change your vote or not since it's vetted, I just wanted to let you know that you're a silly billy if you think balling with an npc following you is going to work.

Your vote on 7HPS
"Note: Voting under the assumption this build is for casters."

The build has splinter weapon and a smite monk to be a platform for SoH. I'm pretty sure its physical orientated. Chieftain Alex 08:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Your vote on the Turret Ranger
Makes no sense, "standard 7hp skills", you do realize this is a player build right? Either way, you have a history of making ill-informed votes and it'll probably get removed if you don't change your reasoning. 15:45, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
