sry about all that crap with your build, didnt know you didn't want it on wiki -- —Daɽkɘʃʂ   ӍcÇɧɽiʂtmaʂmonǥɘɼ . 15:07, 15 December 2008 (EST)
 * Not a problem. I actually like it when other people enjoy running it and have sucess with it. I just knew what kind of hate it would generate. I posted it on GW Guru forum once and it got flamed by theorycrafters who haven't even tried it. Same thing happened here. I don't know what it is about this build that fires people up so bad. I know people who run monks hate it.  They get territorial.... they don't like it when someone can challenge them at their own game ... especially without even a Mo secondary.--I Ninefingers I 14:41, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * The problem with it is that it is so weak against hexes and enchant hate ;s I believe it also didn't have any condition removal. It was skill quite an okay build though, powerheal spammin imbue is awesome. Brandnew.  14:59, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * That is true, in a sense. You can't remove the hexes, but I've found that you can usually power through them. You can also power through conditions.  The one thing that is regrettable about it is that you can't remove blind or weakness from your melee. The build does fall off pretty quickly in TA, RA is much less of a problem. TA is about finesse and coordination. Removing hexes and conditions is a pretty important part of countering the other team.  RA is all about power. That is this builds specialty....sustained power.--I Ninefingers I 16:00, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * Seeing as about 95% of monks in small arenas do nothing but powerheal with WoH and patient most of the time, I'm not entirely sure why people have a problem with the build :P  &not; «Ðêjh»   (talk)  16:08, 16 December 2008 (EST)

 * Cuz i <3 guardian :( Rawrawr Dinosaur 16:10, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * Yeah, but you can preprot. Most people can't tbh.  Efficient powerhealers farm glads like crazy in american districts, where loads of people run glass cannons.  In ADs/KDs, where people actually run shutdown and stuff, you'll need the guardian more.  &not; «Ðêjh»   (talk)  16:18, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * Using Guardian in RA is stupidly easy. [[Image:Cute McMonkey.png]]Tab 16:30, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * What I would like to try is mod a Lameway or RaO Pressure TA build to run a D/Me powerhealer, a Prot/Cond-Hex remover, and a couple RaO hate spreaders.--I Ninefingers I 16:31, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * Tab, have you ever played american RA? What people there are incapable of continuously blows my mind.  &not; «Ðêjh»   (talk)  16:51, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * Ehh, depends what the prot/cond-hex remover is, considering you really can't waste many slots in TA due to the need to pump damage. I doubt dual RaO's on their own would actually kill anything. A Mo/R smite might be viable, but that doesnt really have enough hex removals to fit (we're talking needing 3-4 hex removals) Rawrawr Dinosaur 16:58, 16 December 2008 (EST)
 * It saddens me greatly that 3 scythe rangers + a dervish healer is no longer viable in TA due to the current strength of hexes. I liked blockfag gimmick more than hexfag gimmick. - Misery  Is  Friendly  [[image:Misery Dog obaby.gif|19px]] 18:09, 16 December 2008 (EST)

 * I got it a few times with a really gay build a while back, in TA. Dual R/D (first people to ever run, lol), Escape ranger w/ bow and apply poison and stuff, and a d/mo healer with remove hex. Triple escape meant nothing died, and it did really big damages. I got over 50 with balanced a couple of times, as well. I hardly ever play arenas though.

How can you be ninefingers if you lost a hand?-- Christmas Relyk  11:51, 17 December 2008 (EST)
 * I didn’t lose a whole hand. Only part of it. I broke a bone in my left hand punching someone in the mouth. I wound up with a tooth embedded in my knuckle and I got a staph infection in the broken bone.  They cut off my left ring finger and the part of my hand behind it back to my wrist.  Then they squeezed what was left back together, so my pinkie is right next to my middle finger.--I Ninefingers I 12:06, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Bullshit Buff
This Mark of Insecurity buff is completely ridiculous. 90% faster expiration of stances and enchants is total fugging bullshit. Even with hex removal, 5e and a 10 sec CD (6.6 sec CD with Deadly Paradox) makes it completely spammable. One A/R with NR, MoI, and a cover hex could completely shut down every Dervish, Prot Monk, or Stance Monk in the game. Its worse than WoD wth no sacc.--Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 11:01, 18 December 2008 (EST)

My best attempt to use some of the ideas of your healer and make it into a sub-par flagger. Originially i was gonna use burning speed for the vroom, but I had no cond or hex removal so i said fuck it. My one dissapoint is the lack of food for mystic regneration.

 * One thing you might want to consider ... when I was working on the D/Me build, I played around with working in some Wind Prayers stuff, like Pious Restoration for some hex removal. It didn't work worth a crap because I had to spread attributes over three categories. I think the reason the final version works better than the D/Mo healers you see around is because you can really buff up two attributes. That lets you max out the +300 for Imbue, you can get the +4 per enchant for Mystic Regen, and it gets your SoPL over +100. You could, however, use Pious Restoration unbuffed or buffed just enough with runes to get it to remove 2 hexes as a cheaper alternative to Remove Hex with a faster CD ...If you are just worried about removing from yourself. I would, however, caution against having three skills that remove enchants. You will have a hard time keeping up with that, but you alredy have 3.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 10:11, 22 December 2008 (EST)

Merry Christmas
Hope all of you have a happy holiday. I’m off work for 2 weeks over the X-mas season, so I’ll probably be on Guild Wars quite a bit. My wife got me the new Razer Lycosa keyboard for X-mas. She snatched it up and wrapped it before I even got a chance to do a functional test on the damn thing (which pisses me off to no end). I plan to make sure I have it broke in before I have to go back to work. If you run into me in RA, let me know who you are on wiki, so I’ll know who’s responsible for whippin my ass. (And if you run into Hoochies Mamma, let her know how cruel it is to dangle a Razer under a gamer's nose for 2 weeks before he can use it.)--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 10:56, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Hope everyone's holiday went well. Had family in town, so I didn't get as much oppertunity to play as I wanted, and had mixed results when I did. I logged about 60 Glad points over 4 afternoons, and only 10 over the next 2 days. I'm not sure yet, but I think there may be a relationship between my win percentage and the volume of alcohol I've consumed.

 * Being considered an "Elitist" (especially in an online venue) is not something I would consider complimentary. It is not indicative of skill or knowledge of the game.

Double Rewards Results?
Kind of curious about how many Glad points people were able to farm this weekend. I didn’t do worth a shit. I got about ½ as many as usual with double rewards. When I was running my healer, it seemed I couldn’t get a team without a POS PvE monk. They were everywhere in Arenas this weekend and 95% of them didn’t do anything but cut damage output by 33% and suck up all my heals trying to keep them alive. I finally got to the point where I just let monks die and try and do it 3v4. (Why does it seem like when you are running a healer, you can't get a team without another healer, and as soon as you go damage, you can't get a team with a healer?) I had a lot better luck running my Glass Arrows/Conjure /Point Blank/Zojun Shot damage Ranger, but a friend of mine gave me a new Bone Dragon staff and I went back to my healer just to try it out.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 10:21, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Recording Software

 * Not enuf powerheals, lol. My opinion is always biased towards derv healers and it looks like an ok build, but I wouldn't run it. It just can't turn out the numbers. I wouldn't even consider running a derv healer without Mystic Regen and interrupt protection, SoPL is WAY too fat of a target not to be protected, and Guardian isn't reliable interrupt protection. One D-shot on SoPL and this build is dead with no regen and no way to burn Vital Boon. I'm also a firm believer that you need to keep attributes down to two categories, and buff the shit out of them. That's the only way a derv can turn the extreme numbers. Also, even though it may not seem like a big deal, it actually is. The Mysticism bonus on this only returns 4. If you don't have 5, you will starve yourself for energy. That's just my opinion. I'm mostly retired anyway and can barely run my own build any more, no more often than I play, so take it for what its worth.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω  10:39, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * Depends if bringing condition and hex removal outweighs the cons of not bringing better self-survival, anti-interrupt, and rebarring ability.--Relyk 11:01, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * I don't even see how there could be a comparison. A healers primary concern should be keeping himself alive and protecting his bar, because a dead healer is a worthless healer. People tend to preach ad nauseam about condition and hex removal, but in actual application, its not that big of a deal in RA. Its definately not that big of a deal if you can throw enough power.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 11:15, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * Something you perhaps miss is that removing VoR can prevent ~500 damage that you then won't have to heal. Removing blind also allows your warrior to kill their assassin preventing 2000 damage. - [[Image:Miserysig.PNG|117px]] (talk)  11:20, 28 January 2009 (EST)

 * ^ that made me lol. But a quick addition, you said "A healers primary concern should be keeping himself alive and protecting his bar, because a dead healer is a worthless healer.", that's actually incorrect and explains a lot of the things you have said. A healer's primary concern is winning the game. Keeping everyone alive is as important as keeping them functional because a blind/hexed warrior is just as useless as a dead warrior. - [[Image:Miserysig.PNG|117px]] (talk)  11:26, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Think about that for a minute. I don't care what skills you have in your bar, how are you going to keep anyone functional, remove any hex/cond, or win the game if your friggin' dead? Those numbers seemed a little high. VoR tops out at 95. With 13 earth, SoPL heals 108 all day long. I'll tell a warrior with Empathy and VoR on him to fight thru it, no problem. After 1k hours of running a derv healer, I can ensure you hex/cond removal isn't that big of a deal in RA and it definately isn't worth the trade off.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 11:46, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * You must not see a lot of blindbots :P it means your "universality" sucks, but who cares, its ra--Relyk 11:51, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * You also have to take into consideration that I don't have the luxury that most derv healers have of being inconspicuous any more. I'm usually pinged before the gate even goes up and my playing style/priorities have drastically changed because I'm usually dog-piled right from the start. It will take at least 2 opponents, usually 3 to get me against the ropes. That frees up my team to take care of business.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 12:15, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * Dervish healers are incredibly resilient, if they are dogpiling you they are actually playing incorrectly, depending on the team makeup. As a monk the entire enemy team dogpiling you is actually the easiest thing to deal with, you take self defence for a reason. Your earlier response shows me you missed the salient points in my post. If you manage to keep your team alive and I manage to keep my team alive and free of hexes/conditions, I have done better than you. Yes, a Dervish has greater survivability and red bar power than a Monk, but let me do you the honour of assuming you never die and never let anyone on your team die. Occasionally you will encounter a team that includes a necromancer or an elementalist that shuts your frontline down with a competent monk backing them up. Your team will not die, because they never do, but due to permanent Faintheartedness/Blind/Snares/Diversion your team cannot kill anyone on the enemy team. If I played as a monk against the same team and could also not let anyone die while removing the shutdown from my damage dealers and let the rest of my team do enough damage to score a kill, I win, you lose. Now, if I choose to take less healing in favour of condition and hex removal I am going to occasionally come up against teams that simply have too much damage for me to heal against and I will die, my team will die and I lose where you might have won. The goal is not to "keep myself and my team alive" when I play as a healer, the goal is to win the game.


 * You can't design a bar for every situation, but you try and cover most of the situations you will encounter. I play both Dervish healer and Monk healer, when I am practiced and at the top of my game, I can keep an entire team alive and clear of the important hexes and conditions as a monk, so that is better for me to play. When I'm out of practice like now, a Dervish healer is likely better because it's easier to keep everyone alive. Keeping everyone alive isn't your primary concern, the primary concern is winning, keeping everyone alive is just the most basic way to achieve that. Dervish Healers have made their way into TA now (It's a long story, but you are actually indirectly involved), they are played alongside a PnH prot monk, an entire character dedicated to doing exactly what a Dervish healer cannot do, keep people clean and protted. One variant is a D/N with no Echo (sacrificing pure red bar) for Rigor Mortis and Rend Enchantments, offensive skills to assist your team to kill the other team so that you win. If you stay alive without Echo, you didn't need it and the added offence will cause you to win games that you otherwise would not have. If you can't see the advantages of both approaches, you are only limiting yourself and I don't care to be honest. - [[Image:Miserysig.PNG|117px]] (talk)  12:37, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Tweaking Controls
In case anyone is interested, I've been messing around with tweaking controls to be more efficient in ways Guild Wars Options doesn't cover. This is an AutoHotKey script to change your mouse controls so you still roll your mouse wheel to zoom camera, but you press the wheel button to pan the camera and it changes right click to 'Cancel Action'. Its so fast, you can cancel 1/4 sec cast skills. If you see a warrior go up for a Hammer Bash, its pretty easy to cancel your skill before it hits. The last two lines are examples of using Alt+key to send pre-typed messages to Team Chat.

A LITTLE OFFBEAT TRIVIA - THE POWER OF 2
My gaming rig is starting to get a little dated, I built it about 4 years ago, so I've put back about $4k and I've been doing some research on the latest technology to put together my new 'dream rig'. I continue to be amazed by the quantum leaps in high end circuitry. Looking into it, I read some estimates that within the next decade, the general public will be able to buy computers that equal the performance of the human brain. Scientific estimates convert the average human brain to circuit performance as a 168,000MHZ processor, 100,000,000MB of RAM, and video resolution of 100,000,000 pixels concentrated on a 1CM square monitor (your retina) times 2 (SLI). It kind of takes a lot of the fun out of shopping for a 'dream rig', knowing that in 10 years, that will be the current standard. Those numbers are kind of misleading, though. The electronic circuit will never truly match the brain until they figure out how to incorporate a '2' into machine code, and develop true AI. 0=NO, 1=Yes, 2=Maybe.--<font color="Blue">Α--йĨйƏҒỉйGƏЯş--Ω 15:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
