Looks good so far. Mind if I separate the different characters into sections? It'll make editing skills easier. I think I can finish up a few characters here, I'll add skills and separate characters in two edits, so you can easily revert just in case. -- Jioruji Derako.> 01:09, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Zehtuka does have a defensive stance, Whirling Defense. Arshay Duskbrow 01:09, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * yep, just fixed that myself. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 01:25, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Also, I was hearing that Mhenlo actually uses Whirling Defense and Throw Dirt, though I haven't fought him yet. I'll have to run through the arena a few times more, and take screencaps of skills... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 01:26, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You know, that is interesting. I was facing Zehtuka as a Trapper myself and he never used Whirling Defense. Pity, it may have cost him the round... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:02, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Maybe he uses stances based on the foe he's against. I'm almost always wielding a melee weapon, so every time I see him he uses it... but really, bringing traps is what cost him the match, not his choice of stances. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 00:16, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Vekk has Armor of Mist, Shatterstone, Blurred Vision, and Ice Spear, too. Morghan has Apply Poison and Anthem of Flame. Zho has Troll Unguent. More if I can see them.

Err...Silly me. I got Sogolon and Morghan mixed up again. Sakkaku Kaikou 01:38, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

I added watever skills I could remember, Finished all or Mhenlos, and added a couple to a few others. Hope this helps Luminarus 02:04, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Fought koss, didn't see any other skills but he tried to use Shock at one point. --Rotfl Mao 02:28, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Gwen has this build

and some others that I've since forgotten. Royally annoyed me, as I was a Warrior.

Ghostly Hero appears to be the same as normal (Cyclone Axe, D-shot, etc).

Koss standard Shock/Evisc Warrior, always seems to open with Shock.

maybe others, but he didn't last long enough for me to see.

Panaku

and maybe others. --Kale Ironfist 02:51, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Ah, that reminds me, there's a Kurzick Assassin who uses Moebius Strike as well. I forget what the rest of the build was, though. -- Jioruji Derako.> 03:19, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * On second thought, that Kurzick Assassin's from the boxing game. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 03:40, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Uh...Mhenlo definitely has Mending. I saw him use it, and was mad that I didn't bring an interrupt. So something on the skill bar is wrong.162.83.100.211 00:24, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Bonetti's is probably the skill not supposed to be there. --Kale Ironfist 01:22, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You can always change the page if you want. Since you have actually fought him and I haven't that would be a good idea really, I was just copying the traditional 55 build to the best of my knowledge. Most are Mo/W or Mo/Me with Channeling. Although, Symbol of Wrath on a 55 is a bit questionable too... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 08:56, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Too bad I've yet to run into him. Anyway, I did overhear someone in the town, ranting about how Mhenlo had stooped so low; apparently, he's one of the only 55 monks that uses Throw Dirt and Whirling Defense. Keep an eye out for those skills; I assume the person was correct in saying they were there, but I don't know... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 09:23, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * But that does not make sense, how can he fit all that on his skillbar? It is already at the limit of 8 skills right now. If he's 55 he must have Prot Spirit, SoJ, and Healing Breeze/Mending at the least...And, why would Mhenlo use Ranger skills that are linked to Expertise? That makes Throw Dirt and Whirling Defense last like 5 seconds. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:25, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Like I said, I haven't seen them in action as of yet, so it's just what I've heard at the moment. I wonder if I could possibly make a tanking build that could "force" foes to show all their skills (give them conditions to remove, hexes to deal with, spells to interrupt, and attacks to counter)... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 09:28, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

split?
Since the article is so large, and the yet-missing quotes will make it even larger, the info should be put into the respective character articles, like "skills used in Factions", "Skills used in Nightfall", "Skills used in the NFT" etc. --Roland of Gilead (talk) 09:48, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Well the info should and will be but into respective characters' pages, i don't get what would you want to split this page into, and more importantly - why. This is about the tournament and it serves a perfect purpose as a knowledgebase about it. I think the tournament article(the proper one) should be based just like that, with all particiants skillsets, tips for players etc. Some article are just large because they have to be large ^^ --Rotfl Mao 09:55, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * This is just in my userspace for now, eventually this info can be moved over to the main page, the respective character pages, etc. I'm only interested in compiling the Builds and Strategies here...recording Quotes too would make this a totally huge page, and it's already big. Like Mao says, this is just a repository for knowledge atm. And remember it is still only the Sneak Peek weekend, so things may still get changed. When EotN proper comes out, and other Wiki users have had time to compile all the other stuff like quotes, that's when we will split. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:02, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Little Thom
His note says he doesn't have self-heal, but you have Healsig on his skill bar. --Wizardboy777 13:09, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I have screenie of him using healing sig. --[[Image:Roland_icon.png]]Roland of Gilead (talk) 15:42, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * After fighting little thom for 20 minutes with a crappy 55 build, I never saw him use shock. Maybe you need to be kiting? Zaboomafoo 18:12, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * This is all just what I remember, it may or may not be right. This is not gospel so please, correct if you can :) Though I am very sure I saw Shock. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:02, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Kilroy Stonekin
I must LOL at his build. It looks like he's using the old Paladin pre-made (complete with Mending and Healing Hands). --Kale Ironfist 18:52, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * It's LEEROY JENKINS! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:02, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I've got a nice screenie of him yelling that at the start of the match... :D --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 00:17, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Danika, Joko - a tip
Defeating one of their minions ends the match aswell, so it's easier to attack Brutus/Sheeba or a Minion of Joko instead... -- Torins (talk) 13:01, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Mhenlo
Are you sure Mhenlo uses Prot Spirit? I never saw him use it and my battle with him went on for quite some time. I think it may be an inherent bonus he gets during the Tournament as having him recast it would leave him prone to interrupts which would make the fight much easier. As Mhenlo is one of the trickier builds to beat in the Tournament having him beaten by one interrupt was probably decided against by Anet and as such they gave him the inherent Prot Spirit. Lyra Valo 14:57, 27 August 2007 (CDT)


 * I think he has it on him as a permanent enchantment, or he uses Protective Bond. Either way, if you Gaze of Contempt him, and mash a Lightning Hammer on him with 18 Air Magic, he takes 189 damage, and his Health Bar doesn't change one itty bit... But you still win :P --84.24.206.123 14:58, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
