Um... Like many people you have called me Kevin. This is incorrect, I use Kelvin because I like adding puns into my character names. Back when I was still addicted to fire I thought Kelvin would be a good name for something hot. Kelvin is a means of mesuring tempurature similar to the Centegrade scale. It uses the same units but does starts at absolute zero rather than the freezing point of water. What that means is that it is equal to Celsius + 273. As I said most of my charachers have punny (there I go again) names, such as Spike The Holywater for a monk.


 * Sorry about that. Kelvin is a neat pun name for a fire-based character.  --Ali 11:13, 10 January 2007 (CST)


 * To bad only 3 people have gotten it thusfar. Everyone calls me Kevin so you are by FAR not alone.  You get used to explaining things like that to people when you attempt to joke around too much.  Can't tell you how many people don't get my jokes even after I've explained them.  At least you understand it.  Which considering how many people don't could be considered an accomplishment.  Alas, I am ranting again.  May be due to the fact that its 12:11 AM.  >.<  Kelvin Greyheart 00:07, 16 January 2007 (CST)

Have you seen this build?
[R/Mo Vigorous Barrager]. I thought you'd like to add a variation of what you have. Jack (talk|contrib) 16:31, 16 January 2007 (CST)


 * Thanks, I love trying Ranger builds. --Ali 16:37, 16 January 2007 (CST)


 * Havent posted it yet but I've been fooling around with a 105 vigorous/55 monk ranger. Its really weird but like any good 55 it can tank and uses Barage to dish out farirly moderate amounts of damage consistently and even if the foe scatters you can still hit many of them because your using a bow.  Still in developement stage, mainly because there are so many variations im experimenting with.  If your interested in this absolutely blasphemous way of treating a Ranger let me know.

 * Are you using an Mo/R? I'd like to try it at some point but I don't currently have that profession combination.  If you're using an R/Mo, I'd be happy to try it.  --Ali 22:21, 16 January 2007 (CST)


 * The only time I ever go Mo/R is with my prot monk. Draw Conditions and Melandru's Resilience to happily spam away with around 7-10 energy regen.  Its like having a self contained BIP necro.  Regardless this is what I have been fooling around with when not skill capping on my monk.  Kelvin Greyheart 21:26, 17 January 2007 (CST)

16 marks. (can be reduced to improve prot and heal)

2+3 expertise (dump for any leftover points)

9 healing

9 protection

Skils are Barrage, Distracting Shot, Purge Conditions, Healing Breeze, Protective Spirit, Vigorous Spirit,  Mending, Balthazar's Spirit

Basicly you use balth spirit like all 55's. Mending is to counter some degen such as bleeding. Vig Spirit is you main heal. Heals 14*number of arrows. Up to 98 hp. Prot Spirit is your invince skill, Healing Breeze is for degen reduction and even more healing on top of vig spirit. Purge conditions can be swapped for any condition removal. Distractings you basic interupt and of course you spam barage as often as possible. Like all 55's it takes some getting used too, but its fun. I wasn't really serious about it until it started working for odd things. Things such as taking out a MM solo with his entire army. Not easy but fun (^_^).

Credits and sig
No problem on the credits - glad you like it!

On your sig, it was pointed out on my talk page that messages after yours are having their text size shrunk. I think the problem is that you're using a tag without a corresponding tag - and that may be causing the close of the small tag to be missed. Can you modify your sig to close the font tag, then test to ensure that resolves the problem? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:29, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * Added " " and tested, it seems to work correctly now. Sorry for the inconvenience.&mdash;  Ali ( talk )  17:00, 24 January 2007 (CST)
 * Thanks! I think just inserting "/font" would be enough; but "/font color" works too. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:01, 24 January 2007 (CST)

General Barrager
Thanks for deleting the dead links. They used to go to other builds that had been vetted and merged into the General Barrager but were still pending a decision for deletion. Apparently, they were deleted since they are were dead links. Anyway, thanks for cleaning it up.--  Vallen Frostweaver  15:46, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
