User talk:Zulu Inuoe

So I was thinking, has anyone noticed most professions have a single skill that is pretty much overpowered? A single skill that almost singlehandedly gives you a reason to play that class, so I want to hear people's opinions on here on which skills you believe those are.

For me it's:

Elementalist: Searing Flames/ Gale  Necromancer: Spiteful Spirit / Blood is Power Ranger: Barrage/Distracting Shot Mesmer: Diversion Monk: Holy Veil / Protective Spirit Warrior: Eviscerate Assassin: Shadow Prison/Aura of Displacement Ritualist: Weapon of Remedy Paragon: Aggressive Refrain  Dervish: Mystic Regeneration

Please feel welcome to post your opinions, I'm interested in them! Zulu Inuoe 22:30, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

You think that Dshot is overpowered? :) SP got rebalanced a bit so you may want to re-evaluate that one. Also, you're forgetting Elemental Attunement / Searing Flames for Elementalist. The two most common Elites, by far. (T/C) 22:47, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Actualy I forgot Elementalist altogether, and I agree with the Searing Flames bit, though don't really think Elemental Attunement is groundbreaking. And yeah I know SP got nerfed like three times, but it's an extremely powerful spell nontheless, and worthy of special notation. Yeah I know I should have chosen my words a little better, I didn't mean overpowered, I meant an uber powerful skill which usualy has little problem fitting in somebody's bar(Unless attributes completely forbid it of course).

 * I'd put Expel Hexes as a general one in that case. Every /Me and his dog uses it when they have no other good Elite choice. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:59, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Hey.. dogs can't play Guild Wars! *Looks at RA* Nevermind. Zulu Inuoe 23:05, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh yeah, and Barrage for PvE Rangers...and Ursan Blessing. What do you think of Moebius Strike, too? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:10, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Ursan Blessing doesn't count until GW's 2. Moebius Strike feels a little empty to me, but hey, I hardly use Assassin's, and when I do, I use deadly arts primarily so -you- tell -me-. Barrage I agree with, down with the over-rated under-raters! Zulu Inuoe 23:15, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

There goes Aggressive Refrain.. Zulu Inuoe 06:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Barrage got buffed; SF got buffed. You still want SP up there now that BLS is RIP? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't really put Shadow Prison because of the generic combo, I put it because it's a shadowstep that recharges in 20 Seconds, and snares. And with that reasoning, I am putting in Aura of Displacement because it is very fun. Zulu Inuoe 17:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Zulu Points
When do I get to spend them?-- (Talk) (Contr.) 21:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * it was a joke but that seems like a good idea.. giving people items in-game for cleverness, I'll think about it and get back to you =P Zulu Inuoe 01:11, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yay! What prizes can I choose from? :P--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 03:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Haha not yet, I'm going to think about it, might be fun but I'm poor D= Zulu Inuoe 03:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Images on userpage
Hello, are you aware of GW:IMAGE? Those look like copyvios to me... (T/C) 06:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Couldn't find any examples on the website, was waiting for somebody to lash at me so I could ask them for an example of what a correct copyright tag looks like and fix it. That person seems to be you, mind giving me a hint? Zulu Inuoe 06:35, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 This is what I could manage, tell me what it's missing.

It is the correct template license thing to use. However, generally (just going on precedent) we don't allow the use of copyrighted uploads just for userpage stuff - it's kind of stretching the "Fair Use" license because really, it's trivial stuff. That is...if you were using such an image to illustrate something important in a mainspace article, that might be alright. But for a userpage it is not necessary, and we don't want to get in trouble with anyone over such things. The "Reasoning" argument is the key thing - "Why do you need to upload this copyrighted image? How does your usage of it comply to Fair Use?

Mind you, I'm no expert on these things, but as the images are clearly already copyrighted it seemed like a clear-cut case. (T/C) 03:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Removing images in a second. Zulu Inuoe 03:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * As soon as I figure out how to do so, that is. By the way, I think there's still a small insignificant argument about them actualy being allowed here that does not violate the fair-use liscence. Zulu Inuoe 03:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't remove them myself, can I? Zulu Inuoe 03:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Where is that argument? When we did GW:IMAGE a long while back, people complained about having their favorite Userpage images deleted, but the legal ramifications were still thought to overrule whatever sentimental values or stuff that people could use as reasons for them staying. Oh, and I'll delete the images, you just edit your Userpage. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Not saying sentimental argument, and anyone who uses that an excuse obviously doesn't know how the U.S. Government works. I'd love to share my agrument but that will have to wait, for now us kids have to go to bed. Thanks for deleting the images though, and just in case (It happens to me allot) I am not using sarcasm at all in any of my posts, so don't think I'm launching any attacks. Zulu Inuoe 04:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't have any presuppositions of the kind. Oh, by the way, your Userpage is now tagged under the Category:Fair Use License, and I can't figure out how to remove it. Hrm. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Most likely scripted into the liscence template, I'll remove it. Sorry about leaving that on there, I forgot about it too. Zulu Inuoe 12:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
