Raise What's Left of the Guild Flag!
Hey, I'm sure you all want some kind of witty comment from me here.. well, uhm.. /cough

My name is crenel, but people know me in-game as Charlie Vietcong, or just CVC for short. I've been playing Guild Wars for about a year now, and I feel pretty comfortable saying I know just about everything there is to know about Rangers in PvE. Well.. maybe I need some work with traps, but everything else I feel comfortable claiming knowledge of.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me in-game, or contact me at The Ranger's Beacon 2. Just visit the forums and send a Private Message to crenel.

Oh, and for those who are wondering, yes, "Raise What's Left of the Guild Flag" is indeed a reference to a Flogging Molly song.

Just a Little Claim to Fame
As soon as the Guild Wars: Nightfall preview event was released (back at the start when it was just PvP and the skills), I immediately unlocked Way of the Assassin and Disrupting Accuracy with my left-over Balthazar Faction and created a PvP Assassin. Using these two skills with Way of Perfection and Critical Eye, I was the first person to experiment with an A/R Way of Disruption build. I called it Eagle Eyes because it reminded me of the precise attack of a great eagle, as well as their pinpoint accuracy. I took this build into AB almost constantly over that weekend, and shared the build with two friends. The three of us took the place by storm, exploiting Needling Shot's rapid-fire to completely shut an opponent down. We used Vampiric weapons, but soon learned that using a Zealous bow would pretty much pay for every attack we used, so we went with that instead. Either seemed to work fine. Towards the end of the weekend, I started seeing other players on both sides using similar builds to my own.

What all this basically means is that the three of us, communicating over Ventrillo, were the first ones to use such a build. I am stating, as a fact, that I was the first person to combine Disrupting Accuracy with Way of the Assassin. Anyone else to claim to have come up the combo on their own, I don't care. I'm stating that I was the original, and I'm extremely glad that I've done something productive for the Guild Wars community.
