-Samurai-JM - --  HARD MODE IS HERE! Are you ready for it?

I've been called by some a master strategist in PvE gameplay, and by others a formidable opponent in PvP. I fight mainly as an Assassin, but I know much of the other professions as well. If you ever need a bit of help, feel free to send me a PM.


 * The good side of being a sin: Sins are total unrelenting pwnmonsters.
 * The bad side of being a sin: No one else thinks so...
 * ''...That is until the group that rejected you from a mission party meets up with you in the next area...
 * ...a full twenty minutes after you finished it.''

My Builds
For farming bosses that deal physical damage, or just general PvE gaming, check out:
 * A/any Chkkr Farmer - Favored - The farming build capable of soloing Shiro Tagachi himself. Heres the Video.


 * Not only does this easily defeat any physical boss(melee or ranger), it works to great effect in general PvE.
 * This build page also contains a full tutorial on how to farm each of the 4 "Chkkr" bosses.

A powerful team spike build with many variants for nearly any situation:
 * R/Rt Armed Assault - Favored - A very versatile ranger that uses Ritualist Weapons to allow more strategic builds.


 * This build works nearly anywhere, and the splinter variant is amazing in PvE or Fort Aspenwood.
 * The elite skill of this build is variable, thus making many different styles of play available.

A PvE take on the old SPBoA build, this is a quick and powerful mob killer and loads of fun.
 * A/R Relentless Spiker - Favored - Using a new idea of Lightning Reflexes combined with Assassin's Promise and spikes.


 * Think the basic BoA assassin, now add 20 of them and put them 1 on 1 with every monster in an area. Then you get this build.
 * This build owns. Why? Because I say so. Why should you believe me? Because I own. Why do I own? Because I use this build.

A great farming build that I believe surpasses the D/A InvinciBomb:.
 * D/A Shadowstorm Tank - Unfavored - Uses Shadow form and healing Enchantments to achieve full health after SF ends, as well as powerful scythe attacks to kill bosses.


 * This build can easily kill many bosses in PvE, as well as people in PvE, as long as there is no enchantment removal.
 * This build is one of the few that can fully negate the damage of Shadow Form while still maintaining damage.

Background:
 * My first and most used character in Guild Wars. He began in Factions 7 months ago, and has since finished all three campaigns. I go everywhere with this guy, Fissure, Underworld, Anguish, Sorrows, everywhere. He is shown here sporting his shiny new Stygian Daggers!

Tha Sniper - Burning Sniper, Trapper, or Armed Barrager
Background:
 * My second and most versatile character. He began in Nightfall just recently, and has since completed Factions and Nightfall. I recently got him a sweet combination of Primeval and Elite Sunspear, but he still keeps his first set of Istani for trapping.



Accomplishments:
 * Beat Factions and Nightfall.
 * Beat Abaddon with heroes in just over 4 minutes.
 * Soloed first areas of Stygian Veil for loads of good items.

 * Beating Prophecies.

 * Conquering Mallyx the Unyielding and the Domain of Anguish.

Equipment:
 * Primeval Body and Mask, both dyed white.
 * 15k Elite Sunspear Legs, Hands, and Feet, all dyed white.
 * Full Istani for trapping. Dyed Silver in the middle and Red on the outer parts.
 * Chkkr's Flatbow. Great to have a zealous bow for splinter barraging energy upkeep.
 * Ironwing Flatbow. Used mainly as a damage boost for nightmare weapon spikes.
 * Stygian Recurve Bow. My most used bow overall, great for boom headshots and overall ranging!
 * Forgotten Staff. Used to trap, mainly while soloing the Stygian Veil for free stuff!

Hitorii Hanzo - Triple Axer or Final Gasher
Background:
 * Newest PvE character, he is progressing through Tyria at a steady pace. I use him mainly as a Triple Axe warrior to take out mobs quickly, while supporting the team with "Watch Yourself!". Eventually I will take him up to the Domain of Anguish in Elona as an Obsidian Flesh tank, but that is far off for the moment.



Accomplishments:
 * Recently reached the Ring of Fire mission, nearly done with Prophecies.

Titles:
 * None yet.

Goals:
 * Beating all of the campaigns.
 * Getting to DoA to test out the OF Tank build.
 * Earning some titles and gaining new skills.

Equipment:
 * Full 1.5k Ascalon armor dyed grey. I'm so creative.
 * Fiery Crenellated Sword of Warding. Great for killing cold monsters in the Shiverpeaks.
 * Fellblade. It looks cool, its max, its r9, its inscriptable, its currently on auction at GWG!
 * Tanzit's Cleaver. Wish it was zealous, but until I get a new one this is great for Triple Axing.
 * Sundering Igneous Maul of Fortitude. A perfect one, too bad I have no hammer skills...

Brickz In The Wall - Indomitable Protector
Got a gladiator point nearly every time I used him in PvP, but now hes coming to the roleplaying game to get me some free st00f! I've always wanted to do 55 farming, and I could really use some gold right about now with all these new characters I'm making!

 * My newest PvE char, he will eventually grow into a great farmer and a monk to beat all others. Hopefully. :)



Accomplishments:
 * He has a cool name.

Titles:
 * None yet.

Goals:
 * Growing into a mighty farmer.

Conrad Burnslapps - Assassin Build Tester
Love ganking people on this guy, also my tester for tons of Assassin builds. He will eventually turn into a PvE Elementalist, with only Pwned left to continue my PvP legacy.

Pwned In Teh Face - PvP Mastah
Soon to become my only PvP character, I leave him to earn my glad points and fame.

My 1337 Heros and Henchies
These are the little guys and girls that got me through most of the game when no pugs would dare allow a sin to help out.


 * Zhed Shadowhoof and Acolyte Souske - The B00Mstick Brothers. (even though they are completely different species)


 * ''The limitless energy and amazing interupts provided by these two are only the start of the chaos they cause. With Searing Flames and Meteor Shower, they devastate any and all enemies in their path. You've never seen a room of level 28s clear out faster than with these guys behind you. Zhed usually carries a disabled Rebirth just in case.


 * Olias - Overlord of Undead and Spreader of Plagues.


 * ''Inspired by the '|Dr. Olias goes to Hell' post on GWG. He quickly maxes out his army of horrors and then procedes to decimate the enemy with conditions. He is by far the best body blocker I've seen, so my nukers can hammer away while he leads his minions and spreads his deadly conditions.


 * Dunkoro - God of Protection and Keeper of our Lives.


 * The best Monk bar I've seen on a hero, he always upkeeps his energy with GoLE and keeps us alive with the rest of his skillbar. I never see a hex on myself for more than the second it takes to cast Reverse Hex, and I rarely have to self heal. He is the main reason I've been able to hench as much as I have!


 * The Henchies - Filling in the gaps and supporting the big guys.
 * The henchmen I use vary depending on area and campaign, but they usually follow this pattern:
 * Two Heal/Prot Monk Henchmen - The backbone of the team, without these guys/girls I wouldn't be going anywhere fast.
 * One Support Caster - Ranging anywhere from interupters to motivators, this is what buffs the team and nerfs the bad guys.
 * One Random Person - Everybody needs to feel special sometimes right?


 * Anyway, that is my normal party setup for when I go adventuring in the world of Guild Wars. I have currently been able to hench areas such as Sorrow's Furnace, Glint's Lair, the Eternal Grove, Unwaking Waters, Raisu Palace, the Gate of Madness, even Abaddon and Shiro themselves fall prey to these almighty NPCs. All of the above were completed with Masters, and two protector titles are currently held as awards for this.
