Touch Elementalist-Experimental
This build is really interesting. I like how you sidestep Ether Prodigy's enchantment loss side effect. And you have all my favorite blood magic spells too (used in a way i hadn't imagined). I'm curious if Ether Prodigy is enough energy management for all those spells? Also I wonder if an elementalist's armor is a bit soft for going into touch range? Or are those more like emergency skills? Do you use this build for PvE or PvP?

I'm new on Guildwiki so I hope this is the appropriate way to provide feedback. I was also wondering if I could borrow your layout for my user page as I don't really know what I'm doing enough to create my own, but I'm interested in getting some feedback on build ideas. Thanks. -- Mt Heart Attack 12:31, 12 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks, I appreciate that you like the build and my page. However, I can't give you permission to use it as I didn't create it.  I've only been here for about a month myself.  I got the format for my page from Helena.  So you should post a message on her talk page if you want to use this format.  Other than that though, the energy management seems about even to how a Touch Ranger players because the extra energy regen makes this build perform similarly to having Expertise.  There is a problem however if you go against too many people too quickly.  Touch Rangers have Offering of Blood to add extra energy when their pool gets low, where as this doesn't.  So as it stands, a ranger is a bit better at this job than an Elementalist, but in PvP, no one would be expecting a touch Ele so it has some advantages, where as if an opponent sees a R/N they expect to be fighting a toucher and adjust their playing style accordingly.  The armor doesn’t make too much of a difference as you keep regenerating health throughout the battle.  Oh, and welcome to the wiki.--Azroth 13:38, 12 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yeah I'd imagine the surprise factor would be fun. Thanks for the tip, I will leave Helena a message. -- Mt Heart Attack 14:40, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

Sig
I can see your sig is coming along, just two quick things, you should add:   to User:Azroth/Sig so it's added to Category:Templates/User signatures. Secondly it would be good to manually resize the image to smaller dimentions instead of resizing on the fly in User:Azroth/Sig. This reduces a little load on the server as it doesn't have to resize your sig each time it displays it. Anyway it seems to be coming along nicely, I just thought I'd give you some pointers there. Plus this gives you the chance to try it out now ;) --Xasxas256 00:12, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
 * ok, just 2 question, where do i add the code you listed above, at the end of the sig? And I'd love to make the server happy :) but I have no idea how, most of my coding knowledge is from an old webdesign class (which I baraly remember) and from looking at other stuff on the wiki, so I dont quite git what you mean.  So how would I go about resizing?  Thanks for all the help.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||Azroth]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk:Azroth]]  00:38, 26 September 2006 (CDT))


 * Yep at the end. I can do the resize for you, give me a moment ;) --Xasxas256 00:17, 26 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Ok, I added the code. Is that better?  If so then I'm just waiting on the image resizing and Then I'm done with my sig.  Thanks SOOOOOO MUCH for all the help and the quick responce.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||Azroth]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk:Azroth]]  00:38, 26 September 2006 (CDT)br>

Oh btw, they are 2 differnet pictures to redirect to both my user and talk pages.


 * It's done they're at Image:Azroth sig.png and Image:Azroth sig2.png and I took the liberty of updating them into your sig. You could probably add delete tags to Image:Azroth pic.JPG and Image:Azroth pic2.JPG now ;) It's actually a little bit clearer too, [[Image:Healer's Covenant.jpg|20px]] vs [[Image:Azroth sig.png]] (the new image is on the right) :D --Xasxas256 00:32, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

Awesome. Thanks again for all the help and yeah, I'll add delete tags since the JPG ones are pointless now. I'll also go through and change all my posts since I made the new sig so that they dont have dead links in them when the images get deleted.&mdash; Azroth    00:34, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

 * Huh, well done on the quick update to the new images, I was just starting to type that you'd have to do that manually then I checked Recent Changes and noticed that you'd already done it. Kudos! I can't believe you couldn't work out how to make a sig yourself :P Nah just kidding, I'm happy to help. :) But damn you for the edit conflict! --Xasxas256 00:43, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

^_^ yay so happy, I managed to do something before I was told :P&mdash; Azroth    00:44, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

Build Feedback
Hey Azroth, I'm fairly new to guildwiki but you pointed me in the right direction for borrowing Helena's user page (when my name was Mt Heart Attack above). I know you are looking for feedback on some of your "testing viability" builds so I have added some feedback as best as I could. Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Assassin or Monk so I can't help you there. If you get a chance, take a look at the builds on my userpage and see if there is any feedback you can offer. Especially the Ritualist build as I think it has potential and I might submit it when its completed. Thanks. -- BrianG 12:44, 9 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Sure, np. Thanks for the feedback by the way, but I dont realy have experience with Warriors or Rangers.  I'll leave you some feedback on the other ones though.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  13:27, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

Azroth, I'd love it if you could give your constructive critisism on some of my builds, look on my user and talk page. (and what did you do to your sins armor?) Sir On The Edge 18:26, 22 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Um...sure I'll give it a shot. It'll have to be tomorrow though, I'm a bit busy with College crap today.  And...I'm not sure what you mean by what I did to my Sin's armor.  Its just 15k Kurzick Armor dyed red.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  19:36, 22 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Sorry for not being clear, what mixture did you use for the arms? Sir On The Edge 05:12, 23 October 2006 (CDT)


 * The whole thing is just dyed red, there is no mixture.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]] 00:12, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

Decat
You need to remove the  line from your user page, as it's currently in Category:Templates/User signatures ;) --Xasxas256 20:39, 17 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh, thanks for letting me know. I just added the  to the heading so it actualy is my sig which is why it got added to there.  Ill remove right away.  Thanks again.  But man, my page has been like that for several weeks, the fact that it was you who caught it and not an admin...hmmm...never mind.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  12:33, 18 October 2006 (CDT)


 * We like to leave stuff like that for Xas, makes him feel needed. :P  Anyway, your new userboxes collide with your characters on both IE7 and FF2.  You might want to add

right above your My characters section heading. --Rainith 20:44, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks for the tip. I'll do that right away.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  20:48, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Oh...wait a sec. Adding that changes the look, wasn't counting on that.  I like the look of the moved over edit button and the boxes going right up to the dividing line.  Also, please explain what IE7 and FF2 are and why this collision is a problem, and if there is any way to fix it without changes the look of the layout.  Thanks again (hehe Xas seems to be slacking ;) his responce time is down).&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  20:53, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * You bastard Rainith! You wrote that just I am about to start a incorrect category crusade! You better not be saying I'm predictable, I'm still crazy, there's just a pattern is all! Edit conflict Azroth, I am on it, stop rushing me, no sudden movements, I'm just about to spring! --Xasxas256 20:57, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * *standing around waiting for XasXas to pounce and hoping this post screws him up again* :P&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]] 20:59, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Heh heh. Anyway, IE7 is Internet Explorer 7, FF2 is Firefox 2.0, which are the two web browsers that I checked your page out with to make sure the problem wasn't just with one or the other.  Here is the issue that I am seeing:


 * [[Image:Azoth page.jpg|500px]]


 * With the clear tag put right above "My characters" the boxes don't collide. --Rainith 21:06, 24 October 2006 (CDT)  EDIT - Um, and ignore the fact that I left a letter out of your name in the image name.  :(  --Rainith 21:14, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Thats odd. This is what I see...


 * [[Image:Azroth page.JPG|500px]]


 * I haven't upgraded to the new IE yet, and my monitor is 19". Could either one of those be causing me to see a different image than you?  I notice that your screen looks wider than mine.  Could it just look odd to you becuase you have a wide screen monitor?&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  21:33, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Looking at your image, I'd guess that your resolution is set at 1024x768, mine is 1280x1024. What that means is that even though our monitors are the same size (19"), I'm set at a higher resolution and get more on the screen both horizontally and vertically (I get the same number of pixels vertically that you get horizontally, 1024).  No one is going to force you to change your userpage, if you leave it as is, it will just look like it does in the picture to people who are looking at it in a higher resolution than you are.  --Rainith 21:40, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Ok, so its a resolution issue and not a coding issue. That makes me feel better about this since it meens I didn't screw it up some how, but I'm just looking at it smaller than you are.  Alright then, it sucks but I guess I'll fix it so that it looks better on your screen.  I may not like the way it looks with the

inserted as much as I do with it like this, but having people see it like that is just unacceptable. Thanks for letting me know as I never would have caught it with my resolution.&mdash; Azroth    21:48, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Ok, does that look better?&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]] 21:53, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

Yup, not bumping into the characters anymore:



The clear makes you have more white space, but IMO it looks better than the other one. The other option would be to get rid of a couple of the user boxes. There may be other fixes too, and I'm just not skilled enough to figure them out. --Rainith 22:07, 24 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I vote the the get rid of all the user boxes option. It fixes the rendering issue and the "This user hates userboxes...but uses them anyway" issue, plus you have less category problems when you don't use userboxes! :P --Xasxas256 22:46, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
