'''In this section we discuss reviews. We completely support and accept both bad and good ratings, it is just important to us to see a ratings justified.'''

Auron reviewed as of 19:53, 13 Jan 2008 (EST) "The lack of expel is dumb." Auron, I don't see how your rating accurately portrays our build. Could you please elaborate on the decisions you made that warranted rating the build they way you did?
 * It doesn't have expel hexes, which makes it kinda bad. Keep in mind we don't rate builds based on their restrictions, we rate them based on how good they are compared to everything else. -- Armond Warblade[[Image:Armond sig image.png]] 18:43, 17 January 2008 (EST)
 * Because a build doesn't have expel hexes doesn't make it default to being a bad build... aside from that, you are correct in the fact that it has a blatant weakness to being hexed. This, of course, is a shortcoming of our build (although strangely enough has not been a problem on all accounts so far). To address your comment about how you rated, I think there may have been some miscommunication. I personally don't expect the build to achieve great status (again, it's somewhat of a novelty build) but we do want to see an understanding of the build's mechanics in the reviews. This is why we contacted you. So far, this build has been drilled through a large amount of dungeons, and cleared some elite areas as well. I respect your rating and am not asking you to change it, we were just looking for more input as to your direction as to what other reasons you had for rating it the way you did. I encourage you to take the build for a stroll. Despite it being a weird build, every one that has played it has come back saying how fun it was to run. Look to our page, we're be adding a video sometime soon (we have the footage, now it's time to edit and compress).Darith Kaulk 21:03, 17 January 2008 (EST)
 * Also note that we didn't have any problems yet with hexes, en the nasty ones like Spiteful Spirit, Visions of Regret, Vocal Minority, Ineptitude etc. Most other hexes are anti caster anyway. Minus  talk  02:19, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Want2be reviewed as of 12:19, 14 Jan 2008 (EST) "i love paragons, paraspike sort of in pve ftw." This build doesn't really suggest the idea of a paragon spike, but more of a constant maintained, pressure that is difficult to break. What reasons did you have to review the build the way you did? Using paragons doesn't make a build. : ) Darith Kaulk 14:06, 14 January 2008 (EST)

RustyTheMesmer reviews at 17:02, 13 Jan 2008 (EST) "Alright build, gets a 5 in innovation because of the overly hilariously childish name." Despite the positive rating being in our favor, please don't rate our build on the name. A name does not make a build work or break, it is entirely irrelevant.
