A third derv hero? Hmmm... Cress Arvein 19:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, I would have thought a third Mesmer would have been a higher priority :/ --GW-RM 19:31, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, though, since all of the GOLEMS are Dervs... which I have never understood. Although I'm not sure why a third Mesmer would be a priority.  [[Image:Renai Mu icon.jpg|19px]]Renai Mu [[Image:Renai Mu icon.jpg|19px]] 19:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * A fourth Ele would have been better, so you have one for each elemental type. And, contrary to above, many golems are eles. Further, why make him fleshy--that would have been a neat advantage, immune to bleed, poison and disease! GW-Susan 19:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL, that's a dumb idea. What's the point of having 4 elementalist heroes when you can only bring 3 heroes in a party?66.215.156.124 08:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL? The point is you can equip each one for different elements (I'd go with 2 fire, 1 earth, 1 water - never had a use for Air), and not have to switch runes and weapons when you need a ward ele or a maelstrom/snare ele instead of the fire nukers, which most people have 2 of. This is the reason I have my Zhed geared for fire, and Suke and Vekk both have enery storage-based weapon sets, because I change up their elements and don't want to keep the spare weapons in my stash, it's full enough.  I don't even bother with runes, either, I run Suke as earth on a major fire rune if I need earth.  So yeah, a fourth ele would have been much nicer than a derv, which I only use if I need lots of holy dmg or occasionally a meat-shield in a corpse-poor area...

 * A necromancer hero would have been very nice, particularly since MOX is pve only. 3 necros set to typical sabway builds, and one for the occasional blood magic gimmick so you don't have to rerune to be effective. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I want to ask Anet "So what is wrong with another Sin?" Assassin heroes don't do dagger chains too well, but they can run things like scythe/bow/axe sin decently. And it's not too hard to make them run a DPS Locust's Fury/Conjures/etc. build...Derv heroes are okay for just functioning as warriors, but when it comes to using Mysticism and enchantments properly, they need to be micromanaged. Which defeats the purpose. (And anyways, wouldn't you like a Raptor Hero too?) (T/C) 05:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * They use Conviction fair enough in battle to use that, and they maintain Faithful Intervention constantly, so you can fulfill all of "while enchanted" effects with that. Throw on any enchant that damages in an AoE, and they'll apply it in battle, so when faithful wears off you've still got a suitable derv in the heat of battle. I've been using MOX because I've never leveled Melonni and have yet to unlock Kahmu, and I love the big guy.

Consider it a sort of "easter egg" bonus.  Functionality wise, it would be nice to have access to 3 PvP heros of each prof.  No more will add read function, but even if they do add more than three of a class, you gain the advantages of optionally (1) being able to gear them for different build types, and (2) use the ones you just personally like more for fun.  --Mooseyfate 13:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

"hero unlocked" placement
Placing the image as it is now (floating on the right) means the article looks bad when the content is hidden (folded in) because the infobox pushes it down and separates it from its section. That also happens when the page is rendered with the box-type ad, and it is going to happen when the stub template is removed. The version with "Hero unlocked" on the left doesn't have this problem. I shrunk the image for that because Firefox is bugged in that it places the enumeration numbers under the image, so the enumeration has to start below that to be visible; and I see no reason why the image has to be shown in original size, it's not as if the reader gained any information by that. --◄mendel► 07:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speaking of image sizing, can the images of the forms be uh... maybe 15-25% bigger. He's a big guy with a lot of detail, you know? I don't want to play with the sizing, but I'm not happy with the size it is now. &mdash; Powersurge360  07:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The larger image size makes the page look fat. You can click on the image to see it bigger. Could you please point out to me where the detail actually changes for the forms, I thought all that changed was the color? --◄mendel► 08:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see the breastplate detail changes, but you can't really appreciate that more with a 20% size increase. With the size as it is now, they actually fit in a row on a 1024 pixel wide window (except on IE7, where they're inexpicably spaced further apart - gotta fix that). We don't have armor galleries on any of the other hero articles. --◄mendel► 08:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not that the detail disappears, it's that now it's only viewable in squint-o-vision. And as far as clicking on it for larger views, then what's the point of having it there at all if you'd need to click on it to get anything out of it? Why not just link? (edit conflict) And as far as armor galleries, no we don't, but this seems to me to be a unique case. They could, potentially be given their own page in the way most heroes have galleries. &mdash; Powersurge360  08:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * "Squint-o-vision" is the size we used to have on all beast infobox images. I can see that nothing but the color changes even at that size. That includes the breastplate design changes, though I can't make out the details. --◄mendel► 08:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Could have worked in PvP

 * Size. Make M.O.X. smaller. Zhed is rather large and often gets in the way, as well as Flesh Golems. He could have been easily scaled down to be an adequate size.
 * Weapons. Any player will be able to assess what type of weapon his is using either once he attacks or by how he behaves. (rushing into combat, melee weapon. staying far back, bow, back/midline caster weapon or spear.) Moving on, they could have had him use every weapon very plainly like any normal character would. This excludes scythes and hammers which could be assessed by making either up and down swings or side to side swings. If not that, simple skill damage would be easy enough to identify.
 * Avatars. Simple to recognize as they are right now. To have made them more obvious: Balthizar, red color + Red Shoulders would be easy enough to identify. Dwayna, Blue forearms and a blue mantle upon its chest. Grenth, Black hooded cape/cloak would be instantly recognizable. Lyssa, color pattern as is is extremely recognizable, to make it more obvious add 1 eye to each side of his head and a purple waste vestment to flow behind him. Melandru, Simply add spikes coming out of his head and back that look like roots.

This would be a relativly simple fix, though adding the changes to the avatar states would take a little bit of time, the major issue is his size, which can be simply fixed by making him about the size of Goren, only a little taller and/or wider.--72.189.85.47 00:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

MOX all professions..
i know this has been stated several times but exactly why a dervish? why not all the professions? it is a golem so he doesnt have any standard dervish clothing.. he changes colors (obviously) to the profession of the avatar he is currently in... so couldnt he change colors to the profession he is currently in? i mean its plausible is it not? i have seen alot of people discuss this so far. i mean hes not useful being a dervish.. but he would be so much cooler if he was different.. right?
 * It would be cool, but... they planned Razah that way, but for some reason decided against it. Whatever the reasons were, they probably apply to MOX too.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  01:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Razah wasn't planned that way, it was just undecided what he was going to be at the time of release. &mdash; Powersurge360  01:19, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In that case, they made it sound like that's what they were planning. The Manuscripts say "Profession: Variable", not "Profession: Unknown". That implies changing professions.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  01:27, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * "i know this has been stated several times"? Then why are you asking AGAIN? Variable professions where planed for Razah, but for some reason they proved too difficult to implement and thus where scraped. The engine probably can't handle changing primary professions in player-like data (heroes are very similar to players with weapons, runes, skills...). A Dervish can be a very useful character, you just have to not run Sabway. (Seriously, even if it where a Mesmer people would just whine that he's not a Necro so they won't use him anyway). Please stop bringing up the topic of his profession again. It's very annoying. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 01:39, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

You can't make a "true" tank in that it exclusively soaks up damage, but dervishes spam their attack skills beautifully. The class that botches the job is Assassin.

He really does. Hero dervishes are used so rarely that making a 3rd one was just useless. TBH, since hes PvE only, he should be able to use all of your pve skills at your rank. If they did that he would be decent. That or give him the G.O.L.E.M. 2.0 skills. 69.143.6.8 02:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

A-Net is not very popular since the whole Ursan tragedy which cost them a lot of adult players. Even though they finally brought Ursan into balance 13 months later; those folks are just not coming back. That coupled with Regina's inability to be nice has got A-net doing stuff which caters to thier new player base, which is much much much younger..... Dervish look cool and are therefore popular with the types of players that prefer to avoid playing the game rather than actually earn things. I think offering all the Guild Wars campaigns and expansions for roughly the price that one previously cost, and making little useless elitist eye candy items like MOX is probably a good strategy for A-net as they move into Guild Wars 2, as thier Adult playerbase is going to be extremely weak due to the new A-net philosophy that any amount of actual substance or difficulty makes for a poor game. I'd expect more useless garbage like MOX to be flooded into the GW Universe before GW2. It doesn't really matter though, nothing A-net does will bring back the portion of thier playerbase that Ursan alienated, and the game has been dumbed down enough now so that there is no intensity anymore anyways. Anytime you have trouble you can use a summon stone and some other consumables, or just go Ursan God Mode. I do agree that a 3rd Dervish Hero is pretty useless, but GW broke when EoTN came out anyways, so what difference does it really make?72.221.118.93 04:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)Wildcard


 * Interesting insight, but so true... It's impossible to find a group for an elite mission like Urgoz anymore, you basically have to find a guild/alliance that does it regularly, or you don't stand a chance. Everyone is just standing around begging for free runs everywhere and asking for destroyer core farming builds, nobody wants a challenging game anymore.  But I do think that many of the mature players who have now left GW1 will return to GW2 to at least give it a shot.  We'll see what Anet will do, if anything, to keep them.  Hopefully they won't replace interesting content with elitist farming garbage they now call titles...  The first few were kind of a neat idea, but 44 filled with crap like Zaishen and Gamer? They lost me there...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 16:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * At a certain point, you have to use player-imposed restrictions to make the game challenging. And then it isn't fun anymore. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Remember how much fun this game was when you could get a viable pug anywhere you go? Don't have to wait for guildies to come online, don't have to force everyone to ping their skills, the game was balanced enough that it was easy to make something usable without end-game elites and high-ranking titles...  And when you got to a challenging area, it wasn't full of noobs who got a run there just because they can, people actually knew what was going on much more than they do now...  I miss that.  Now, if you want to go to UW, you have to be one of the 3 latest bot-builds and magically know exactly what to do the first time, or forget about it.  And half of the towns around the world look nothing more than Jade Quarry, because everyone just gets ran through everything and then goes to farm the same thing as everyone else, achieving nothing more than the next exploited skill nerf. This game is almost reminiscent of every society that ever exised in RL: it gets a good start, gets a little better shortly after, and then, the more advanced it gets after that, the more to hell it goes, turning into a cut-throat anarchy. Human nature, I guess?  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I will concede the game has fallen from its glory days, but at the same time I can still find viable PUGs for many things if I need to...My Heroes and I can usually take care of any undercompensated players. I have not tried this for difficult areas in awhile, but I imagine it's not that bad. For Elite areas and such, though, you're pretty much on the money. You either run the FotM for that place, or Ursan. :\ Maybe ANet ought to enable full H/H parties for them. It would still be pretty challenging, I think - maybe even more so?

 * ...MMs? I don't see how that has anything to do with MOX nor the way he affected the rune trader. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  20:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "Real PvE scrubs use superior runes". I've yet to meet a MM who doesn't. Being assish, mostly, lol. &mdash; Powersurge360  20:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * ...I use Superior Runes.. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 20:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Most (generalisation) MMs use sups so they can have that one extra minion, true. Using a sup for one minion and ~20max hp on the minions is for scrubs tbh :P Better off with 14, so you can survive a hit or 2. Also, Org: Scrub ;) A sup really doesn't help a lot... -75hp for one point of damage per spell, 20 max hp on your minions or 5 hp healed. MAjors are fine since they're reduced to 35. Sure, it doesn't help a whole lot, but round numbers are nice to look at. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  20:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Shallow assumption for MM's. The higher level of the minions means they do more damage, take less damage, take fewer criticals from foes higher levels than then, have more health, and have a greater quantity. Slap on Dark Bond, and their health is your health. &mdash; Powersurge360  20:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Crit rate doesn't change a lot when the foes are still at least 5 levels higher, and for HM make that 10. Same goes for damage taken etc. The greatest benefit is one more minion, which can explode. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  20:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Large sample results in large benefits, even if it's statisticly (for each individual minion) unfavorable. Same reason Shelter sees use in Hard mode, those are hits you don't have to take. &mdash; Powersurge360  20:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * My Bone Minions are almost as powerful at 16 Death Magic than my Bone Horrors at 14 Death Magic. Plus, lower max health means less sacrifice, which is easier on your monks. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I remember that being a main reason why people use Ghial's Staff over the other best option (I forget what the other staff was, but it provided +60hp). Less health = less sacrifice from Blood of the Master.
 * ...But isn't this quite far off the original topic? Dervish runes. There are plenty of people who go the full 12 + 1 + 3 on Scythe Mastery, which is probably acceptable in PvE... so I can understand those selling out quick. Most other players are jumping on the minor Myst. and Scythe runes, and normally either Earth or Wind runes. How's the rune trader looking now? I haven't checked yet, but I'd guess the rune prices would be on the way back down by now... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  00:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sup Scythe was never sold out, the other runes are still...elsewhere. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:16, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes it was, when I checked Friday night the only Dervish runes available were Forsaken insignia and Major/Superior Earth/Wind. Windwalker's insignia were gone, all Minors were gone, and all levels of Scythe and Mysticism were gone.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 05:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It must have recovered fast. Btw that's probably the same Forsaken insignia I sold to trader the day M.O.X. came out :P Speculating is srs bsns. I wish I could have been around for that one epic time where ANet was forced to reset all the traders because of market crash the government seizes Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to avert financial crisis for millions.

Equipping Weapons
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or not, but has anyone equipped a shield to M.O.X yet. It actually shows him with the shield unlike with other weapons when it doesnt show him wielding anything. It looks silly though, it looks like the shield is impaled right through his hand. Arthas Shadowsong 17:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

HoM
You can put M.O.X. in ur HoM without actually upgrading his armor, I haven't tried using any armor upgrades yet, dont have any left, but from the fact that he goes up without upgrades I'm guessing they don't work. Any confirmation? Bastthegatekeeper 19:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * kk, i just checked for deldrimor and brotherhood, no luck on armor upgrades Bastthegatekeeper 19:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Regina confirmed somewhere that there were no hero armor upgrades for M.O.X., and that yes, you would still be able to display him with no problem. Perhaps we'll see an upgrade released in the future, but in all honesty, there's only so much you can do to a Golem's armor... and considering any upgrade would have to be done sixfold (for the avatar colors), I doubt it'll ever happen. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  03:48, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just make a quest or challenge mission where you get rewarded with a Machine Conversion card, and you're all set. The different Avatar "skins" are basically just color differences, so it shouldn't be too hard to make a separate model of M.O.X. with upgraded armor, and run that through the same reskinning algorithm. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Make a single armor upgrade that lets you choose any of the Avatar forms to have without actually bringing the crappy elite. It could be switched at the Hero Armor NPC, no reskinning would be involved, and M.O.X. would fail ever-so-slightly less. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hitchhikers Reference
His quote, *I HAVE A MIL-LION I-DE-AS, BUT THEY ALL POINT TO CER-TAIN DEATH*, is a reference to Marvin the Manically depressed robot in Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Not sure about the movie, but it was in the book. I added it to Trivia. --Joseph Leito 13:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Moxon reference???
in trivia i c it saying M.O.X. is a refence to a short story about a guy called moxon??? i'm going to try to be polite about his and i apologize if i fail, but... i have herd the word mox in a handful of games, read a sci-fi book: main aliens were called Mo-x (can't remember to book title) up there tward the top we see a few ppl alrdy guessing mox reffrences. i think we can assume this is not a refference to any 1 thing. i also beleive that ppl should stop calling refference to 3-4 letter words, at that small of a word i can almost garuntee it has been used many times b4. i'm going to stop now b4 i get myself in trouble.
