Item Spells Quick Reference
I noticed that Destructive Was Glaive is not in the item spell skills quick reference page - is that an oversight, or deliberate? anyway, just thought i should tell you. Bubbinska 19:58, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Ok thanks for that, technically its not an item spell, i just have no idea what to do with that skill now. -- Xeon 22:35, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * I'm pretty sure it is or should be an item spell - you used to be able to give it to allies but they corrected that. Either way i'm a bit bummed that they haven't fixed the animation and stuff. Bubbinska 22:45, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * I will add it to the list and put a note in talk about it. -- Xeon 22:48, 20 January 2007 (CST)

That BM page...
I edited that part out since I don't know if that section on the mathematics behind it still exists (I couldn't find it at those links). If you can find a way to reword that paragraph to remove those references, feel free to do so. &mdash; kyrasantae   02:11, 15 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I edited this so that it reflects what the attribute description from what guild wars says.

Article naming
Don't put "(Alliance Battle)" in a name just because it's for something in ABs. Only use parentheses to distinguish a page from another that could also have the same base name. --Fyren 02:12, 15 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Was not aware of it, now i am, thanks.

finished the alliance page fixes
I'v done what i can to edit the alliance map pages, have fun fixing the little mistakes.

 * Actually I was thinking that Auron sounds a lot like Xeon! :P --Xasxas256 08:26, 15 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Not about sound, it's about looks. When quickly scanning the Recent Changes list, every edit they both make looks like it's from Xeeron. :) --Karlos 08:37, 15 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Well I suppose Karl looks a lot like Karlos...lucky Xasxas256 looks more like a randomly generated password than a name! --Xasxas256 08:49, 15 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Im not here for a popularity contest, im here to edit pages so that it can benefit other guild wars players. if people cant work out that im a different user then let it be so. If someone wants to take credit for the work i do, shame on them, if they do im sure they will also get caught out. I will continue to edit pages under this name. :) Xeon 08:51, 15 October 2006 (CDT)

C3 skills
Please go back through the ones you changed again and restub the non-elites which don't have a normal skill trainer and fix the description, stats, and progressions for all of them. You de- 'd many but I see people making edits after you that change the skill templates, so you either didn't check that everything is correct or were sloppy. --Fyren 12:58, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * Checked all the skills with a priest of Balthazar next to me, the only ones i didnt -c3 were the quests and areas which ill be going around to see today. The only other thing i didnt check was the progression chart to see if it lined up (i used the values that i had set, which were all random like 3, 7, 9) but i was also planning on double checking that today. Xeon 20:33, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * I just had a look at all the skill templates changed after me, they were either all me or nothing to do with ones i changed. Im 58.107 btw, i dont know why it wasn't logged in then. Xeon 20:55, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * Did one better then stubbing the articles, added the skill triainers. Xeon 22:35, 5 December 2006 (CST)

 * Skill trainers (Nightfall), no point doing what someone else has done. Ones i dont know, have section stubs. Xeon 03:42, 6 December 2006 (CST)
 * Interesting, i finally got someone else to look at the skill pages. Only takes 200+ changes in a couple of days to notice there was a problem with them. :D Xeon 04:24, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Skills That Remove Enchantments That Prevent Spell Targeting
Hey there, you may not have realized this, but I put together a list of all of the skills that can remove the Elite Enchantments Vow of Silence, Spell Breaker, Obsidian Flesh, Spell Shield and Shadow Form, and added the list to the "Related Skills" section of every single one of those skills's pages. I wish you would have realized the relation before deleting every single one of the lists, because now I have to go back and revert and fix all those edits. I'd appriciate if you'd spend a little more time on the pages before you delete the "Related Skills" sections from them completely, and think a little more about the correlations between skills. Thanks! Duncan Dragoon 22:55, 9 December 2006 (CST)
 * Can i suggest you change that, when further releases of GW come out, that list may get very long. I did look over the list to attempt to simplify the list on many of the pages, while i was brutal on a number of them, this is a wiki and if the community thinks other wise they will change it back. Anyway, can i suggest you put these some way into the quick reference enchantment removal page. Also can you be careful when you revert pages, you riped up a lot of the formating on some of the pages, because i did change the formats on a few. Xeon 05:28, 10 December 2006 (CST)
 * I'm re-removing the list. Related skills lists should be NOWHERE near that long.  If you want to make a new QR page, go ahead, but don't list 18 related.  --Fyren 06:42, 10 December 2006 (CST)
 * Cut them down from 1 to 6 each, though I think 6 is still on the too-long side. --Fyren 07:30, 10 December 2006 (CST)

I'd like to make a page like the enchantment removal quick reference page that lists them, but I'm not in the know how about how to do that, could you two help? I do agree that is seems too long, but it's valuable information to know what removes Spell Breaker and the like. Duncan Dragoon 21:14, 10 December 2006 (CST)
 * Fyren will be able to help you with that, he will also know the correct way to display the template and what should be listed in it. Xeon 21:18, 10 December 2006 (CST)
 * It might be easier to just use the same template with an intro paragraph at the top explaining which skills prevent spells and that all of the items are either non-spells or don't directly target the foe. If you really want, I can make a template specific to it given what you want it to be like.  --Fyren 08:27, 11 December 2006 (CST)

Skill Templates
I've noticed you've edited a few skill templates. But Template:Skill box has no variables called: disabletype, disabledur or disablenotes. Your new variables there will not appear on the skill page. You've added a link to Disable skills quick reference anyway so I'm going to revert your edits. --Xasxas256 04:36, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * Dude dont revert that, they are used by the disable QR Xeon 04:37, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * These values are not ment to displayed on the skill box template page, they are used through the disable skill box template. Xeon 04:40, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * Hmmm ok, seems a bit kludgy to me, unrecognised variables are fed into Template:Skill box with this method. Wouldn't it be better to add a new section instead of tacking them into Skill Box? --Xasxas256 04:43, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * Ah ok, i see where you are going with this, you should bring this up with Fyren as he started this with Hex removal quick reference and i just followed along. For now we can leave it as it is, it doesn't seem to have any significant impacts yet. Xeon 04:56, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * Oh and keep me informed on this, i want to do a few other QR later on, when this issue is solved. Xeon 04:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)

I want to add categories for Bounty
How do I add more locations to that page? I really want to help as much as possible. AlpHaz 12 December 2006


 * Add the following code to the bottom: <-- Note that I'm not sure if that's the name of the category. Double check what the category's called and then have fun. --Armond Warblade (talk) 20:31, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * Go to Bounty page, you will see a list of all bounties in the game. To add a bounty to an area put at the bottom, replace the Mandragor Hunt section with the name of the bounty you wish to add. For example, you would then have for giant beast monsters this  . Make sure there is a person to give you a bounty in this area before you add it. The bounty page also needs to be fixed up, demon hunt was originally margonite hunt, when i screwed up the name of it, the category page needs to be changed to reflect this and the interface still looks shockingly crap, I was having a look at the Miniature page, at the gallery at the bottom. I was thinking about making something like that before i saw the gallery, so now its just a matter of copy pasting and formating the tables again. Xeon 00:32, 13 December 2006 (CST)

Still Warney racking up 700 wickets isn't a bad concelation I guess :) There's also been remarkably little winging from the Poms themselves although playing Ashley Giles first two tests, I don't know how you can justify that... --Xasxas256 09:14, 23 December 2006 (CST)

RE: Natural Stride edit.
Xeon:

The recommendation that was removed from Natural Stride's page suggested getting an anti-Spell Enchantment before activating Natural Stride. This prevents opponents from adding any new Hexes and allows someone to have faster running speed and 50% chance to block without being able to be easily removed.

It also correctly referred to Natural Stride as a skill (Stance). Why was this removed? GrammarNazi

I'm thinking Spammable enchantments quick reference for dervs (trying to teach my derv's tahlkora to dump a load of enchantments on me at once so I can spam attack skills and such), though. Let's see... There's already a list of skills that cause conditions (bleeding/poison and dazed being the most useful methinks) on the page for that condition, is it worth making a qr? And what about a "target ally causes damage" thing (riposte, shield of judgment, etc)? Useful for invincimonk builds. --Armond Warblade (talk) 19:56, 23 January 2007 (CST)
 * The current aim for the qr i think, is to change all of the current ones that are embedded into other pages into this format and placed in one category. Invinci monks dont just use SoJ, they can use IW and Spoil Victor but a qr based around, reaction if hit may be viable. The spammable one i would not put in at all, mainly because you have a lot of non spam ones that work just as well on dervish and it would not be maintained by anyone in the future. The qr's being developed atm are ones based around a type of effect, like energy recovery, attack speed, skills that add armor. These type of skills dont have fine lines of when to be added or not, as will spammable skills, you would have the problem of deciding what guide lines should be used. I think because of that, a spammable qr is not viable and should be put into a guide if anything, sorry if any of this is wrong, wrote it quick, im getting offline and going to work. -- Xeon 20:20, 23 January 2007 (CST)

Knockdown duration
After noticing your editing to complete Knockdown skills quick reference, I cannot help but notice that almost all the knockdown durations you have listed are 1 second, with one major anomaly, Forceful Blow knocking down the target for 4 seconds rather than yourself when evaded.

Best Wammo Build
Relocated from Jagged Bones


 * lol I could see it now - 'Koss why do you suck so much?', 'well if you quit giving me mending, frenzy and heal sig...' --Dazra 18:23, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Mending? On a Hero Warrior?!?  Blasphemy!!  Koss would never allow such a thing!  Olias never complains but Koss sure will, just take away his sword sometime.  LOL!  I think Koss is too keen on keeping his monk skills limited to Smite Hex or Dismiss Condition.  Queen Schmuck 18:29, 2 February 2007 (CST)

 * LOL!!!! Oops, he made a big wannabe pro mistake.  He brought Dolyak Signet intead what should be there, heal sig.  (BTW, I think your Koss's elite armor has gone to his head)
 * Now Goren, on the other hand, well, he spent TOO much time with that Mesmer! Look at what he had on his skill bar when I got him! (and note how he isn't sure WHICH skill to use)  Queen Schmuck 01:46, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * Nah did that on purpose, heal sig isnt really a bad skill, there is nothing like a 75% slower wammo with no strength at all because all the points are sapped by healing prayers. -- Xeon 01:49, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * Ah, I see your point. In that case, might as well have skill #1 be Power Attack and skill #2 be Ethereal Light.  Oh, and make sure to have a heal req 12 off-hand with +15/-1 or -33% dazed core.  No need wasting precious points into tactics for a puny shield that gives no extra energy.  =:P  Queen Schmuck 01:59, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * Choice of my wammo skill bar is because. #1 Tried using gash without bleeding? #2 Final Thrust sucks when you cant get their health below 50%, #3 Frenzy... self explanatory, #4 Dolyak Signet slows you by 75% and pretty much no armor bonus with 0 strength, #5 Healing Breeze + warr...., #6 Mending what this build is built around, #7 Healing Hands cant do without it on a wammo, #8 Rebirth works best in Alliance Battles. ;D ~(If this conversation on the best wammo is going to continue, please do so on my talk page, so we dont pollute this talk page with unrelated messages) -- Xeon 02:30, 3 February 2007 (CST)

ROFLMAO! My sides are hurting and tears are rolling down! I must admit, you really put some thought into this build. The AB rebirth just takes the cake, and didn't even notice the Gash (just assumed it was Sever). Now, for really making your build best, and since Frenzy will be used all the time (why put it on bar if you're not going to use it every chance you get!), maybe Barb Slice will work even better. Doh!, that actually will do extra damage.

I guess I kneel before you, oh great master of Wammos. My humble attempts at Pro Wammo builds will never come close to your mastery. May Balthazar smile upon you (without breaking out in laughter).

BTW, the "Goren" wammo pick was taken on some solo Ettin run of mine (needed the runes for heroes!). The skills used are actually quite fast at taking out the Ettins quickly. Alternative for SaM would of course be Final Blow, but I like the nearly always dual crits of SaM while they are using their Heal Sig. I also like the constant full adren (from AP) allowing Bonetti's at anytime I wish (especially right before taking on the Tengu, any of them). The "all skills currently trying to be used at same time" effect was because of a Lag Monster I failed to slay that run.

Queen Schmuck 02:56, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * I would like to see someone beat that or at least improve on my build, to compile the best wammo build ever. I was looking at that goren bar of yours and thought it looked ok for farming, heh, when auspicious parry was 0sec recharge it blew melee bosses away. anyway I Dare someone to created a better wammo, only requirement is it needs to be a W/Mo. -- Xeon 03:06, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * I would normally run Liv Vic (not WS), but I had a tendancy to go Skeleton farming (lots of runes there too). WS was to help counter the poison. I had always wished AP would recharge itself if a block quickly happens after use.  I guess I never used Ausp before the nerf, it always had a two second delay before it would charge itself on block (just checked, that nerf was early 2006-06, over two months before I even owned GW).  Bummer, it must have been absolutely da bomb back then. Dropping Vig Spirit just before any encounter with a Tengu Wild helped against their Shatter (HH recharge unusable).  This build was somewhat weak if facing 2 Wilds at same time (bad aggro), unless you were really quick on the VS reload.  Energy was never a problem for me, 20 was more than enough (disturb a lynx or two if needed for Bonetti's energy top off).  See User:Queen Schmuck/W/Mo Rune Collector. I might take you up on your Wammo challenge.  Question - do all skills have to be for same warrior's weapon type?  :P  Queen Schmuck 03:38, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * Yes, it has to be logically correct but a dumb combination (or smart if you can make the "best" wammo) I was just thinking about the Echo mending and only just realized that you cant use Warr + Echo + Mending *cries*. The bar i made was with skills i currently had but feel free to use any skill you come across. -- Xeon 03:43, 3 February 2007 (CST)

I'm not native english speaker but you might want to change this sentence in your user page: Played pretty much since the beginning of release. I play to enjoy Guild Wars. Release is an event that has no duration, and thus saying "beginning of release" is redundant, makes no sense. "since the release" would look much better and still say what you apparently wanted to state. --Spura 08:17, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Number of references
Is there any rule for adding references to skill templates? An EffectOnEnd quick reference would require at least 3 or 4. Some skills already have 6 or 7 of those references. --Nemren 10:44, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

Creating Templates
I am relatively new to the site but am a professional programmer/designer with 12 years experience. I do this stuff as a hobby as well as for a living so it was only a matter of time before I started to want to work on projects here. I have been working on creating a set of templates for Capped Elite Skills very similar to the Mission Progress Template. Any help/advise you can give would be very much appreciated (I hate duplicating others work when I could be building on it instead.) The Turtle King : There is no Honor without Faith, Compassion and Loyalty 12:26, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * For starters your going to have to expand on your description for the template idea, how would it function? what would be used to trigger its gray and colored state? how will people know what the gray and colored states mean? Will you let people select only necro skills? There are a limited number of missions compared to skills, using the same 0,1,2 trigger template system for the elite listing may get hard to read when trying to find the one skill you want to change. -- Xeon 12:35, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

 * Re:Optional fields. I saw that, but I decided to use the option to add the extra information anyway eg uploader's comments and so on, as one can't overdocument, and also it may encourage others to include more information. The extra details are as much for others outside of the GuildWiki community as for those within. It is a nice touch to keep it all within the license box 89.240.230.92 12:48, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Heh, you had the  which is what i was commenting on, those dont need to be seen and the author defaults to image uploader for a reason, when the picture gets changed, it will have a new author normally the person that uploaded, its used only when you want to over write the it because you know the author is not the uploader. -- Xeon 12:53, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I see what you mean - I wasn't looking at the licenses after applying them, so didn't see that. Templates are not my field of expertise :) I will check the others and correct. 89.240.230.92 12:55, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, i still have not written up the documentation, im hoping to do that later tonight or tomorrow. I still need to wait for the reply from anet to see what license we can apply to the screenshots, so nothing much happens till this. That and we need someone that knows law to fix up the license notes. -- Xeon 13:02, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

Unattributed
Do you not think it would be more sensible to apply the unattributed template to these images simply to categorize them into one easily-accessed area for later licensing purposes? The template could be changed to state that they are in a "holding" status, not a deletion queue, and then as time permits helpful souls will be able to dip into that category and a=apply attribution or contact the uploader. It just seems to me that this would be a more efficient case of time and motion than going through the entire directory of files later. 89.240.230.92 13:44, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * At the moment no, because there may be an automatic way to do it, so adding templates and the such is not an option just for the moment. Whats worse is, the templates have not been finalized so what is there may be different to what is going to be used officially, which means a lot of uneeded doubling of work. -- Xeon 13:49, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

Moved discussion from User talk:89.240.230.92
What does this fall under, user-created image? It's just a shot of the wiki Image:Black radiant ie.JPG. &mdash; Skuld 13:43, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * It's an interesting point, but yes, I agree it should be simply user created image, with no reference to the license necessary. 89.240.230.92 13:48, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Another example of why we need someone that knows the copyright issues like the back of their hand. heh -- Xeon 13:55, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Surmounting that obstacle is the challenge unfortunately faced by the vast majority of websites who do not have access to the terrifying sums of money that copyright lawyers demand for their services. Acquiring a tame specialist prepared to work pro bono is indeed a rarity. Also, as you can see, copyright law is complex and occasionally ambiguous; even were a specialist willing to undertake voluntarily to act for eg GuildWiki, they would invariably state from the outset that their guidance did not constitute legal advice, should not be regarded as legal advice and would accept no responsibility for any subsequent actions. Which makes it fairly worthless after the fact. GuildWiki is probably best advised to err on the side of caution with any ambiguous issues, and operate under the blanket of good faith. By demonstrating a willingness to correctly label the works of others and deal with blatant violations, how can anybody argue that they are operating otherwise? It is very unlikely that any interested party would do more than ask that an individual instance of a copyright violation be removed immediately. Overall, instilling a work-ethic whereby all contributors add a copyright template, to their best of their understanding, is as much as anyone would expect. If you consider the skill, creative effort, time and money invested in producing material, which may then be wasted if it is open to other parties to use or exploit without paying the creator, it isn't really too much to ask. 84.13.253.157 15:09, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * We dont need a lawyer, we need someone that knows the copyright licenses, i do not have the time to do it.
