Lighting Touch's Cracked Armor since Elementalist skills update
For the first time after GW2 launch, I joined a team as MT, and this skill got me killed versus the Skeletal Icehand ballings and at the Wailing Lord forest while slivering the Shard Wolf with the Spirit Shepherds. Yoshida Keiji talk 03:21, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * At Skeletons pulls the team should spike faster then, and in forest you shouldnt be touched with lightning touch (take some distance). Or take Armor of Earth. Sjan, Running UW Click It  06:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

UA optionals
The UA bar is definitely not set in stone. There are lots of optional skills that should be listed - arguably the only fixed skill is UA itself. Houroftheowl (talk) 17:03, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

VoS builds
Currently, the page shows a VoS build with 6 fixed skills and 2 optional slots. Instead, there should be 2 separate builds, each with 8 fixed skills. Changing any of the skills is deviating from the meta. Obviously it's fine if the team wants to do that, but it doesn't represent the correct tactics, and thus should not be on this page.

experienced VoS
[build prof=D/A name="VoS" scy=6+1 earthp=12+1+3 mys=11+1 sha=2][Sand Shards][Vow of Strength][Staggering Force][Eremite's Attack][Mirage Cloak][Mystic Regeneration][Death's Charge][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][/build] The team should have 2 of these: one to do the advanced solo jobs like ToC, forge top, Defend, and bridge; the other to back up the first one and provide an extra copy of Honor when needed. The name "experienced VoS" can be somewhat misleading - experience is indeed required to perform the solo jobs, but there's no reason an experienced player can't play the leech VoS role instead. Sometimes people mistakenly assume that the D/A build is "better", which is simply untrue. If this article can clear up that misconception, that would be great.

leech VoS
[build prof=D/W name="VoS" scy=8+1 earthp=12+1+3 mys=10+1][Sand Shards][Vow of Strength][Staggering Force][Eremite's Attack]["I am Unstoppable!"][Mystic Regeneration][Ebon Escape][Whirlwind Attack][/build] Again, 2 of these: neither is actually needed, but they add considerable spike power, which may be required if the team isn't strong. This role is usually given to the newest players, but obviously "leech VoS" isn't a very appropriate name for the article - no doubt someone can think of something more flattering. Perhaps focus on the fact that they are the stronger spikers. Also note that this build is less reliant on pcons; cupcake and pie and still highly recommended, but the build functions fine without attribute boosts. Houroftheowl (talk) 17:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
