 * So far I made this out of it Build:N/Me Wastrel's Leech. InfestedHydralisk  [[image:Shadow_Prison.jpg|19px]] 16:03, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 1) I just posted my build for Toxic Chill for the contest. Check it out.  Build:N/A Chilling Assassin Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * Oh, and by the way, the comment you posted on the build is pretty stupid, the builds only share two skills (not including resurrection signet) and neither of those is the elite... soo... Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)
 * Whoops, check the history of the build.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 22:51, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmmm... true, but, first, one of the major problems listed with your build was SF and ET and, mine does more damage and is more of a spike as opposed to yours which was much more about pressure, Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * 1) I want Skull Crack. Technically the build is already posted, but it resides in a Discussion page and not a build page, soo... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:15, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 2) . *Giggles* hah, im gonna try Ride the Lightning Time for pain... >:P --Spcypnts
 * 3) Ill take Quivering Blade even though I suck at warrior. Shall be fun :) --Renegade26 13:18, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 4) I'm all over Signet of Suffering.Cheese Slaya 20:34, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 5) Signing for Zerris on Warrior's Endurance--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 22:42, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Thanks, since I couldn't find this page. Build is currently not even through trial run, speculation only.  If it works, I'm in, might even put it up for untested.  If it doesn't I'll drop this skill... might pick another. Hope you don't mind :p --Zerris (talk) 22:45, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Build works perfectly, in fact better then expected. You can take a look at Build:W/Me Enduring Visage UW Solo. I will remain in the contest. --Zerris (talk) 01:21, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 1) Tease, Build:R/Me Tickler. I had fun testing this build, actually.--Rickyvantof 10:52, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Discussion
Add Preservation. --SBR 18:55, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Preservation is being used a lot, though (IIRC). I almost did (it is a TERRIBLE skill, after all). Lemme double chack on that.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 19:45, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Update the List
Recently, i.e. this year, I have created builds which use some of these skills, 4 of which are favored, so I thought I would point them out:


 * Locust's Fury: Build:A/W Fear-Inspiring Sin
 * Scribe's Insight: Build:Mo/Me Elona's Bonder
 * Marksman's Wager: Build:R/N Shivering Marksman
 * Consume Soul: Build:Rt/any Devouring Restorer

All of those were created by me recently, so you might want to remove those skills from the list. Some of the other skills already have favored builds as well... so it really isn't worth having them on the list. Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)
 * Just because one build has an elite that's on this list doesn't mean it can't be on this list. All of those skills can be used for something else. Not to mention you have a knack for making those odd skills workable. I'm sure there are people out there who have a good use for some of those skills.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 19:34, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Yay, I have a knack! :) Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)

Sounds like alot of fun XD. i duno what one to take though. I was thinking my secret weapon Scavengers focus would be on it but mabay you think its good like me :D.im thinking either Hidden Caltrops or "Coward!".--Blade (talk|contribs) 19:53, 7 March 2007 (CST)

IMO Scavenger's Focus should be on the list. Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)
 * Ya i forgot it. Want it then, Blade?--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 19:56, 7 March 2007 (CST)

yup ill show you why i like it so much :)--Blade (talk|contribs) 19:57, 7 March 2007 (CST)

I'm pretty sure there's already a favored PvP build using Caretaker's Charge (Charging Vorizun?) and a favored PvE build using Flashing Blades... --Shattered Self 02:51, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Point of Confusion
When you say the build cannot have been created before 03/07/07, could you clarify "created"? I've got a build for my skill of choice (Enchanter's Conundrum) that I've been tinkering with since NF came out, but which I've never posted on wiki (or elsewhere) nor have I seen it on wiki. Would this be a legal build? I know there's no way to verify that, but this is a for-fun sort of thing, so I may as well see if I'm acting in good faith, right? Zaq 20:13, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Created=posted. Making change.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 08:21, 9 March 2007 (CST)

ill stick a link to this on my page :)--Blade (talk|contribs) 11:02, 9 March 2007 (CST)

Wastrel's Collapse?? --Renegade26 16:58, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * What about it?--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 17:06, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Where is it on here? Or is it being used ^^?--Renegade26 17:59, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

hmm?
how's this?

InfestedHydralisk  18:13, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Changed it ever so slightly, so now it's lovely.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Word_of_Healing.jpg|19px]] 18:43, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

maybe everyone who's joining needs to have this on its userpage? InfestedHydralisk  18:54, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

Shouldnt it have a link to the contest page?-  Leader Rat  19:02, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

Very good point.--Nog64Talk 19:11, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Added a link.- [[Image:Avatar of Lyssa.jpg|19px]] Leader Rat  19:31, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

[[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings"
do we have to make a whole new build page to enter? -- "Wings" 03:40, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

i dont get it
I doubt i read all of it but, half the assasin skills are in use already. Beguiling haze is like one of the best skills now. has this not been updated since the nerf? 12:15, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

I'd remove Beguiling Haze, Flashing Blades, Ebon Dust Aura, Signet of Judgment, Punishing Shot, Avatar of Dwayna, and Offering of Spirit on the grounds that they're actually useful. --Zerris (talk) 13:13, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Zerris is right, accept for Avatar of Dwayna.Cheese Slaya 16:55, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

I wanna do more than one...
I can't help being so creative D:.. ;)--Rickyvantof 10:58, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

I want "Coward!" too, is that allowed?Cheese Slaya 16:12, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Ooh, and Whirling Axe. Although I hate PvE, I can still make PvE builds.Cheese Slaya 16:54, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * well, we need to see what Nog64 says about it.- [[Image:Avatar of Lyssa.jpg|19px]] Leader Rat  16:57, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, PvE is WAY too boring to make a build with, I got all the way to THK (and would have gotten farther) with my newb ranger wannabe ele build..good times, good times...Cheese Slaya 17:08, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
