'''Due to recent events, the atmosphere in GuildWiki has become increasingly hostile, and the builds section is a battle ground for people who love arguing and the situation only gets worse with each day. Although I'm not quitting Guildwiki, I will be severely cutting back on the time I invest in Guildwiki and # of contributions I make.''' Click here to see my contributions

 * Yep I have all 10, and yep they are all level 20. 7 of them have 15k/ascended armor, with my necro having the vabbian armor. But there is no way I'm buying FOW armor they all look ugly!!.  15k armor FTW!! Eh, besides I almost never do any farming much anymore and I don't play enough to make enough money :-). I can't decide what to get for the 3 of the characters left, namely my monk, ritualist, and dervish.  I think I'll wait till chapter 4 for my monk, ritualist, and dervish if there are anything better.


 * These new Treasure Chest are... well insane. It makes me feel like farming is well... much less desirable than even before, especially when you can make 20k + 12 gold items in about 30-60 minutes for each character...

BUILDS
Now that I'm making builds... don't expect anything spectacular! lol just kidding :-). Also don't expect a build factory. I'm not making one until I see something that I think should be vetted... not just anything off of a whim.

Current tested builds Thanks for the input everyone Build:Mo/E Glyph Boon Healer Current untested builds Other builds A Bad build I made while down with the flu... Yeah its a funny kinda crack head build. Build:Rt/E Attuned was Nuker. Everyone was a newbie at one point and that's ok! Yes this was on my elementast/mesmer's skill bar when I first started playing Guildwars.

Bad Tested Builds
The fact that any noob with a computer that can figure out how to edit a wiki page can vote, causes certain builds to become vetted even though they are actually crap. This is also the trend because noobs tend to vote favored more often than not because they cannot see problems with the build the more experienced players can. Besides... I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY TESTED AND WORKED IN RA, AB, CM!!! Those are NOT proper testing grounds for any kind of build! And what is even worse are those people who say they tested while doing 1vs1 battles... GW is not a 1 vs 1 game! Build:W/any Perpetual Knocker -- sheesh. just mass KD with minimal pressure... Build:R/any Partner in Heresy -- Build:R/D VoS Archer -- pure slow DPS, no condition other than cripple, no interrupt... Build:R/any Quick Needler -- It is back... Build:D/E Mirror of Ice Scythe-- Build:P/W ToF Tank -- Mediocre at best. Build:Rt/any Spirit Bomber -- Designed for early factions PvE... which is so easy anyway, no builds are needed for that! Build:W/Mo Holy Decapitate -- Other PvE builds are better. This has been unfavored Build:N/D Mystic Blood Bonder -- Ummm, No. Blood bond is like a bad healing breeze... and breeze sucks to begin with. Build:Me/Mo Migraine Interrupter -- Not really valid since the changes to HA. This has been moved to untested!! ... more to come... when I have time to look at more tested builds... I also remove builds from this list as the builds evolve and become better.

These builds used to be favored N/any Soul Reaper -- A build with an identity crisis. This has been moved to unfavored!! Build:P/E_Pyrogon -- Poor DPS even for PvE... It's really just stupid. This has been moved to unfavored!! Build:N/any Spike Leecher -- Spike??? what spike??? This has been moved to unfavored!!

Jewel Builds
Once in a while, a build comes along with great synergy and effectiveness it really is a gem of a build.

Build:E/any Sandstorm Warder -- Great for pvp, and easily modified for PvE. Build:R/W Rampaging Thumper -- Stock PvP character. Most team setups use this in HA and GVG. With a nerf coming up, we'll see how this affects this build

More to come...
