-1 degen weapons in cantha.
if those weapons were available after factions came out, there is no reason to think they were discontinued at any point. I've also seen a zodiac one. Foo 09:34, 30 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Yeh I got that wrong, but they were discontinued with nightfall, though i'm unsure as to whether they still drop in tyria/cantha now &mdash; Skuld 09:47, 30 April 2007 (CDT)


 * I see no reason for them to be discontinued. Foo 10:12, 30 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Well if they didn't make an inscription and removed them from being creatable at the pvp menu, theres a chance &mdash; Skuld 10:17, 30 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Interesting. what other weapons are available in game and not in pvp? Foo 10:27, 30 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Slashing damage daggers, piercing hammers, dire pets D= They mostly evened it out come nightfall, but there is still a few oddities. Slashing daggers aren't such a huge difference any more, they changed "Shields Up!"'s functionality. Uh.. -50hp cestas? :D &mdash; Skuld 10:30, 30 April 2007 (CDT)

GvG
Hey, you know the Paragon Build, everyone is running? What is its bar? This is all I have so far rofl:

Not good huh... I need it for the current meta-game GvG Team Build (In GvG chat which is in testing right now) Heres: WHat I have so far:

Any suggestions? Readem (talk *contribs ) 00:42, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Aggressive Refrain, AoFlame, GtfE, Spear of Lightning, Res Sig/Sig of Return, filler filler filler. Because paragons are imba and have unlimited energy, "filler" is usually something like Mirror of Disenchant or Gaze of Contempt. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 00:53, 3 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Chilling winds is shit. You can't have a water abr without Frozen Burst, and Armor of Mist is good now. Healing monk needs RoFm and final thrust is bad on that sword bar. I dunno which para bar you mean, theres those revolting expel/shatter storm paragons that everyone is running, and cruel spear ones. More power to focused anger! &mdash; Skuld 02:40, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

K better O' Lord Skuld Imao:

Another question: Should I switch BA for BHA on the ranger? Readem (talk *contribs ) 13:27, 5 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Dunno what your strategy is, couldn't say &mdash; Skuld 13:29, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Not really my strategy per say, I am just trying to keep a semi-accurate idea of what the meta is. I would still put BA, but I have seen a lot of guild use BHA recently... Readem (talk *contribs ) 22:12, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * /Barges in
 * BHA tend to work better in teams, as the daze is easier to take advantage of (daze healer, make kill). A team is easier in taken advantage of these small lapses, while a solo character... is more attrition. Against eles, yeah, dshot watchful, savage mend body and soul (or whatever) and you get 20 seconds to kill him, but BHA tends to be a lot easier for this. You don't want a cripshot or BHA alone, that's all, they take eons to kill NPCs, and you most definetly need screaming arrow unless you want to be useless offensively. A split is useless if you can force the opponent to send stuff back.
 * Another thing, why E-surge? E-burn is good, but E-surge is basically an elite version of the same skill. Trust me, that adjacent damage thing is not worth it, especially when you consider the fact that you get to use it once every 21 seconds, and much less if you only use it against adjacent foes. Eburn is a viable choice for mesmer who want damage... but... e surge. Wastrel's Demise isn't used really, but even that's better. Depending on your emphasis on melee, but MoR and Power Block are the better choices. Pblocking a prot monk casting aegis or an LoD means no prot or infuses for 15 seconds. Effectively, your melee or whatever, if they aren't completely daft, would take that oppurtunity. You can pretty much make half their team explode in the meantime- losing a monk is a big deal, especailly if you spike out the other. If they are smart, they'll go omg run, or maybe they have extra healing from a runner monk, but they can really turn tides if used well. Then again, powerblock water eles and mind blasts for fun, too, those are easier, anyway. Or Bsurges, that too.
 * Why is there weapon of warding on a mesmer? Weapon of Warding is only really good on builds with good energy management, or enough of it to burn (eles, mind blasts). I dislike Icy Shackles to start with, but why you have it on a mesmer I do not understand.
 * Why is there no hard rez? You have two options. Go Rez chant on the mesmer. By the way... WHY DOES THE MESMER HAVE NO DIVERSION? You realize will placed diversion can effectively shut down a whole elite skill, and even bar? Mindblast without mindblast is pretty low pressure, Bsurge means your frontline can zerg the opponent, etc etc etc. Power Leak, is what you want if you want energy deny. 21 energy.... and with MoR. You have no glypg of lesser energy for the mesmer. Anyway, you can fit the rez on either him or the ranger. It's not a popular choice, but SSC has done it, and not completely badly. It's viable.
 * You need energy to use shatter effectively. Save for spikes, shatter is pretty crap, I'd go for MoR drain or mirror anyday. Seriously 80 damage?? I don't want my build to depend on the enemy not catching a spike and vent not lagging to win, so I tend to prefer split and pressure builds. Spike can be used as pressure by exhausting monk's prots and infuses, they aren't necessarily "3-2-1 kill". You have a BHA, which means you should split, that's the only reason you should have a BHA.
 * On warriors, you want rush as a cancel stance, or else you can't be trigger happy with frenzy, which you need if you want to deal decent pressure. Rush is a more effective speed boost, and +3 adrenaline isn't as important on a sword. Galrath's is crap, use standing or rather Shock and Bull's Strike You can't spike with 4 skills anyway, use Protector's Strike if you have to, though those are really too awesome for swords, you need a hammer. Shock would be my choice, since the energy is an issue anyway. So I'd change galrath's for shock (or bull's), enraging for rush. Alternatively, you can have 2 speed stances, enraging can act as a TTL, although why you don't just take TTL I don't understand. Rez sig > Heal sig so you can split with it.
 * Give ranger Rewnew Life (expertise) or Resurrection Chant.
 * Paragon? Looks like a Crippling Anthem one to me. You could go expel + power return like saviors, but it doesn't matter.
 * A BHA alone can't kill shit, even with the help of screaming, just know that. Daze is crap because while it lets you get kills during that period, which is short if they have removal, and they'd know to dodge/run from range, daze = no dshot. Might seem obvious, but if a target is daze, you cannot disable their skills with distracting shot.-Silk Weaker 23:10, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

 * Hmm, first off...

1. I have seen BHA used in more then just teams that split. It is a great skill overall. Slap apply + BHA on a Monk, while the other is being pounded by a gorilla, usually ends matters rather quickly. Secondly, the main difference between a BHA ranger and a BA ranger is that one is a ganker, and the other is Shut-down.

2. E-surge is great. Being able to quickly add 140+ damage to a Monk, and also drain 14 e is extremely useful. After a while, combined w/ shame and guilt, this build can completely shutdown a monks energy. MoR Diversion mes don't work as well, due to the fact you can't maintain diversion anymore. And I don't think Power Block is exceptionally useful in GvG. That's just my opinion though. WoW and WB are just for split purposes to stop a spike on your Monks. Enegy is not a big deal if one doesn't spam. If you don't like Me/Rt, then just go Me/E for GoLE.

3.I don't have Diversion because...well I don't really know why O.o...so I guess it can replace Boon. Hard Res on a mes isn't as popular in GvG anymore, just because teams tend to get spike happy on rez-meres :D. The usual hard res is Sig of Return on the dreaded "Expel Para" Imao. Rangers never carry res besides sig.

4.Shatter is godly.

5.The Wars are exactly what pretty much everyone runs right now. Except maybe Skuld and his Shock axe Pro-ness ;).

6.I would do the Expel Para...but this is Skulds talk page, and I do not want blood here :D.

Vandalization Help Request
I haven't been on in about a week due to my motherboard having crapped out on me. I just logged back in for the first time and my page is blank. I think I've been the target of vandalization. Could you take a look at it for me and make the appropriate revert. I would, but I don't want to mess anything up any further than it already is. Thanks in advance Skuld.--&mdash; xis10al   18:33, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
