W/R Build
You said: "Energy constraints melt away if you're using Warrior's Endurance. So I think a W/R version is definitely quite viable, and can even escape most energy problems, as long as you ditch the Tactics (I love Tactics, but it just doesn't work here) and get some Strength instead. But I agree with you, in general: this build seems a bit too defense for an axe poisoner, to me, really, and doesn't use Cyclone Axe, as stated - if that's the case, you're better off going with sword so that you can stack poison and bleeding (from the easy-to-charge-up Sever Artery). Also, given that axe base damage is lousy and they depend on high Axe Mastery to get devastating criticals, no Strength and low Axe Mastery is rather a poor choice, imho. --130.58 06:34, 17 February 2006 (CST)"

Now, as a novice W/R who is unfortunately not gifted with the insights into the inner workings of the games as some others are, it appears to me that the combination of a Warrior primary and a Ranger secondary is 'gimped' due to gameplay reasons. Nevertheless I refuse to give up this class combination as it has been the state of my primary for all the time I have played Guild Wars. So I was wondering... about the comment above, it seems like a surely tenable build, does it not? Do you have any other insights into how to make a right proper axe poisoner build? The conversation was at Talk:W/R Axe Poisoner by the way. 69.124.143.230 06:54, 17 February 2006 (CST)


 * I think W/R is doable, but that the example build there is untennable. I replied on the page, as I thought it would be topical. I will compose a response about my general thoughts about Warriors, Rangers, and Warrior/Rangers and post it here in a few hours. --130.58 08:06, 17 February 2006 (CST)

Skill box voting
So... are you going to vote Vertical vs Horizontal layout, and various Elite flagging choices? The exact landscape style isn't on the ballot, so you wouldn't be holding out, waiting for any new option to popup (unless it's a new elite-flagging option). -PanSola 08:19, 24 February 2006 (CST)
 * Oh, almost forgot! Thank you for the reminder. --130.58 09:56, 24 February 2006 (CST)

Is this an account?
Or an IP address? :S &mdash; Skuld  03:48, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * Hint: it's not four digits and I have the ability to make minor edits and upload pictures. --130.58 06:30, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * you can do minor edits without having an account. Accounts are only to keep better track of your contributions and properly joining the community. --Tizzy 13:46, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * Quickie: NO, you CAN'T make minor edits anonymously. I believe it's for admins that are filtering out minor changes. They want to see all anon. edits and therefore, no minor option. &mdash; Lunarbunny 14:16, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * Correct. The check box does not appear in the edit options. Likewise, anonymous users definitely can't upload things (and, of course, you don't get personal preferences and watch lists and other stuff that's linked to your account settings). Anonymous accounts are technically less private than real accounts, too, because anyone can freely see your IP. --130.58 14:28, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * In response to a question you might have, which is "Why pick such a dumb name?":
 * 1. I had already posted a bunch of stuff from just my IP address.
 * 2. I wasn't feeling very creative at the time.
 * No kidding. You ripped off 84.175!  --68.142.14.59 15:21, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * 3. Sometimes I post from machines other than that one. This is what actually motivated me to get the account. They're all in the 130.58.xxx.xxx IP range, though, and I know of no one else who posts to Guildwiki from that range, so it made sense to use this as a name that can be easily associated with any forgot-to-log-in posts I make in a discussion. --130.58 14:28, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Nice work on your user page
I like it, it's very clean and the pictures really set it off well. Unfortunately my userpage is a text dump... it looks so cluttered, I will have to revise it. Good work 130.58 10.4 --Jamie 20:25, 4 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Thank you. Mmm, I see build bars on your user page, as well as on some others (User:Skuld, User:Shandy). I should put those up. Unfortunately, that requires actually pinning down my builds... sigh. Okay, maybe I won't do that anytime soon... --130.58 20:37, 4 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, your user page is nice now. Only one thing bothers me; The images are next to the text of 2 different characters, not only the one they belong to. You could add more text or scale the images smaller (I would prefer more text, the images are fine now). You could maby add a table of achievements to each character like Karlos.
 * Here is a list of user pages which I liked (I went through all of them, atleast I think so). User:Evil_Greven, User:Jamie, User:Karlos, User:LordBiro, User:MightyGiant, User:Neck, User:Skuld, User:Kalomeli (duplicate to mine :) ) --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 20:52, 4 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Actually, I do plan to add more text (I find mission lists a bit annoying to maintain, but I probably want to put equipment up, since I'm rather a fan of interesting customization options) or some build bars. I just, well, haven't written it yet. --130.58 21:17, 4 April 2006 (CDT)


 * I like it too. The composition of your character images is better than I've seen elsewhere. You've made me think about improving my own. Aeryss looks so impressive in silhouette. My character shots look like they were taken on class picture day.
 * Also, I learned a few tricks I didn't know before. --Wee Tommy 14:14, 11 June 2006 (CDT)

Great pics, thanks for the comment too
Love the ranger and necro pics. I'll see ya in game some time. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Unchain (talk &bull; contribs) 02:28, 21 April 2006.
 * Thanks for letting me know, I'm new to the whole editing thing, just putting my userpage up for now. Thanks once again! Unchain 02:51, 21 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Also, I love the way your necro looks. The Fanatic's gloves with the rest are awesome!-Unchain 03:04, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

No problem
I always get a couple of the mesmer skills mixed up myself. To make things worst one of them is a hex and the other is an enchantment! (T/C) 18:58, 23 May 2006 (CDT)

Hey now
Shouldn't you be in game getting me some Jadeite Shards? Hehe, just kidding. I have something for Amelyssan if you want it. ;) -Gares 11:14, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I keep a 10-to-5 research job over the summer. With an hour for Guildwiki lunch. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 12:05, 22 June 2006 (CDT) )
 * Isn't that nice. I am working 11 hour days now. Never leave college. -Gares 12:18, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Ouch. But, yeah, sure, I'll take free swag! Never one not to accept free swag! &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 12:30, 22 June 2006 (CDT) )
