 = Background = Who am I? No-one of consequence. And if you must know, get used to disappointment... ;)

Basically, I notice little mistakes here and there, so I try to help out and fix them. Sometimes I get ambitious and rewrite a sentence! Really, I'm just glad to be able to help provide a better quality Wiki for everyone.

Currently I'm expanding my user page and trying to add to some of the drop rates articles.

[[Image:Warrior-icon.png]] [[Image:Monk-icon.png]] Laeral Undomiel
Laeral is my preferred character for tough spots and farming. She just broke one million XP recently (early June 06) while doing Canthan quests.
 * }
 * PvE character
 * Level 20 Ascended
 * Prophecies campaign

Playstyle

 * I prefer using a sword and Gladiator's armour for Laeral, stylistically. Hammers seem... well, slow, crude and slightly butch. There are times where I'll use an axe, more for experimenting with the skills and whatnot, but the sword is my main weapon. My preferred skills are Gladiator's Defenses, Riposte and Deadly Riposte - let the enemy kill themselves, saves me a LOT of work.
 * I tend to collect different styles of swords and trick them out with upgrades for specific situations; for example, I have a fiery longsword with extra damage while hexed for those pesky Ice Imps outside the Ice Caves mission.
 * My equipment usage varies a LOT depending on the situation I'm in; I try to be very aware of what I'm going to be fighting and plan accordingly for weapon switches.
 * All Tyrian secondary profession skill quests have been completed and I switch among them freely. I tend to use certain combinations for certain situations.
 * I've been experimenting with a W/N against melee swarmers such as Minotaurs, Mountain Trolls and Grawl (Southern Shiverpeaks) - Necromantic Traversal is a FUN skill in those situations.
 * W/Me is another favorite combination, and I've made what I consider a 'trick' build for farming things that blind me, such as Sand Elementals - it uses Illusionary Weaponry, Cyclone Axe and a mesmer +27/-1 energy offhand. Having a warrior that sweep hits for 31 damage and has 55 energy is odd, but satisfying. It's also a good build for taking on Ice Imps and Hydras. Dolyak Signet and Elemental Resistance, ahhh!

[[Image:Monk-icon.png]] [[Image:Mesmer-icon.png]] Ehlissa Undomiel

 * }
 * PvE character
 * Level 20 Ascended
 * Prophecies campaign

Ehlissa is my favorite for hunting undead and questing/exploring with friends. She has infused armour dyed silver consisting of Judge's body and leggings with tattoo hands and feet pieces; I think it looks nice and distinctive. My favorite activity with her is farming undead for materials and such from Beetletun into the Cursed Lands; Shield of Judgement makes me SO happy!

I'm currently working on getting her to 70% exploration of Tyria.

Playstyle

 * Most of my play is solo with Ehlissa, so I will typically run Smiting Prayers including Shield of Judgement for most situations.
 * I switch among different staff types depending on the situation. Normally I use maintained enchantments and a lot of Smiting Prayers, so it's typically a desert 20/20 collector smiting staff with perfect upgrades. I'd like to try a Canthan weapon combo though, the crafted 20/20 smiting wand and 20/20 smiting offhand are very appealing!
