User:Ayumbhara1042

About Me My birth name is Paul, but my guildies call me Todd. They couldn't pronounce Ayumbhara, so they called me Todd. The guild I'm in is called I Disciples of Balthazar I [DoB]. There's only about six of us that regularly play, but our alliance leader Eternal Hell Raizers [Hell] is getting us more active. Also, my space bar key is funky, so sometimes I talklikethisbecause I can't use it properly. You can find me in-game pretty much any time between 5PM and 2AM Central Time, plus whenever. I'm rather obsessive about Guild Wars, I'm at almost 1000 hours. Here are my in-game characters, one of each type. If you're interested in discussing builds with me, hit me up in-game or on my Talk Page. I've got some interesting ones, especially on my Ranger and Warrior.

If you're interested in my thoughts about my latest stuff, see the Developments page.

Update: Just broke 1000 hours. Ayumbhara 19:37, 3 January 2007 (CST)

=Favorite Skills/Combos=

I have a few favorite skills and combos that are cool.

Apply Poison + Screaming Shot, Burning Arrow
Causes massive degen, does damage. Fun stuff

Marauder's Shot, Precision Shot
Lotsa damage. Precision Shot is easily interruptable, but can't be blocked or evaded. Yay

Concussion Shot, Broad Head Arrow, Smoke Trap
Dazed is great

Oath Shot + Traps
I'm not much of a trapper, but Oath Shot makes it that much more fun

Glass Arrows + Needling Shot
Great for spiking foes below 50% health. Glass Arrows adds to Needling Shot, so you do 30+ DPS. Great for finishing. And if they block it, they bleed

Devastating Hammer + Crushing Blow + Fierce Blow
Knockdown + Weakness + Deep Wound + lotsa damage = dead anything

Conjure Flame + Fiery Axe Haft + Cyclone Axe or Triple Chop
Spreading extra fire damage is fun

Auspicious Parry
Great way to build up adrenaline if you're tanking. Just throw it up whenever it's charged

Backbreaker
Anything that knocks someone down for 4 seconds is great

Tiger Stance
+33% attack speed is great, even if is a little short. Great for building up adrenaline for hammer combos

Glowstone, Glowing Gaze, Mind Blast, Second Wind, Energy Boon
It's about damn time Eles got energy management skills that aren't labeled Ether, Attunement, or Glyph

Fireball
Yay for spam, especially with Arcane Echo

Kinetic Armor, Armor of Earth
For being nearly invincible

Ineptitude
Easy way to shut down stupid warriors

Migraine, Arcane Conundrum
Great for interrupting

Power Block
Nothing like shutting down a whole line of skills with one shot

Every single Mantra and Stance that they use
The last thing you'd expect on a caster is a whole group of stances that actually do something

Echo, Arcane Echo
These skills sell themselves

Arcane Thievery, Arcane Larceny, Inspired Enchantment, Inspired Hex, Revealed Enchantment, Revealed Hex, Arcane Mimicry, Simple Thievery
Getting new skills is always fun

Signet of Illusions
So that you can actually use those skills

Blessed Light
Great for just about anything

Zealous Benediction, Scribe's Insight
Looks like ANet finally realized that Monks need energy management

Ray of Judgment
Great for slaughtering MM armies

Martyr
Does its job

Unyielding Aura, Vengeance
Resurrection enchantments

Life Barrier, Life Bond
Bonders are awesome

Resurrection Chant
Best rez skill ever. Unless the mobs have interrupts

Healing Touch
Great self-heal or for casters

Any Blood Spike skills
Because B-Spike owns you

Life Transfer, Life Siphon
Woot degen

Blood is Power, Well of Power, Blood Ritual, Well of Blood
Anybody that says that batteries suck never went to the FoW as a nuker with one

Soul Barbs + Recurring Insecurity + any other hex
Crazy fun degen and damage

Feast of Corruption + Suffering
Spiking from the Curses line

Viper's Defense
Great for when a warrior thinks they've got you cornered

Critical Eye + Sharpen Daggers, Way of Perfection, Critical Defenses
Don't even have to worry about getting hit

Jagged Strike or Twisting Fangs + Barbed Daggers + Seeping Wound
Bleeding is great. Extra degen is better. And if someone (Warden maybe?) happens to cast Lacerate, even better

Beguiling Haze, Temple Strike
Dazed again

Ritual Lord or Weapon of Quickening + Binding Rituals + Boon of Creation + Explosive Growth
Woot

Heart of Holy Flame, Aura of Thorns, Dust Cloak
Conditions are great

Pious Assault + Enchantments of all sorts (especially the ones above)
Quick way to do a great deal of damage

All the Forms
Because they look cool. And do damage. Especially Lyssa and Balthazar

Vital Boon + Chilling Victory
SS for Dervishes (kinda)

Mending Refrain + Anthem of Flame
Easy way to help out the healers

Anthem of Flame + "They're on Fire!"
Simple way to keep your buddies alive

=Rants, Raves, and Hopes=


 * Paragon elites suck. I'm probably gonna end up using "Charge!" or something because there's so little of value


 * Monks need their own energy management. Nobody likes having to pump up a secondary profession attribute so that they can be useful


 * Paragons are awesome, even if their elites suck


 * Why is Soothing Images core? It's annoying enough already. That, and no one uses it in PVP


 * Female Elementalist armor needs to stop being so skanky. Male Mesmer armor needs to be not so queer. Paragon Armor styles should look different from one another


 * Why is it that you have to do nothing to get to Tyria or Cantha, but you have to fight a whole freaking horde of Abbadon creatures to get to Elona?


 * Tahlkora is annoying. So is Zhed, but to a lesser extent. Jin and Dunkoro are cool.


 * The Xunlai Agency is the most amoral and insane organization ever to exist. They put agents everywhere, no matter who runs the place. And they send them to the brink of hell. And how did they get into Imperial Sanctum?

=Green Collection=


 * Eshau's Spear


 * Stormray


 * Wayward Wands for Smiting Prayers, Earth Magic, Curses


 * Strongroot's Shelter


 * Ssaresh's Kris Daggers


 * Woe Spreader


 * The Scar Eater


 * Totem Axe


 * Thorgall's Stone Smasher


 * The Soulstone


 * Ironwing Flatbow


 * Kepkhet's Refuge


 * Kyril's Fervor


 * Exalted Aegis (Tactics)


 * Ssyn's Staff


 * Churrta's Maul


 * Vanahk's Staff

=More to Come=
