 * Yep I have all 10, and yep they are all level 20. 6 of them have 15k/ascended 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 4 of the characters left, namely my monk, necro, ritualist, and dervish.  I was thinking vabbian top and glove for my dervish as the other pieces all look the same and the vabbian set for my necro.  I think I'll wait till chapter 4 for my monk and ritualist if there are anything better.
 * Ok so I'm confused... On a lot of people's user spaces people list their character's build attribute and equipment they use. Is that all they use throughout the game?!  I guess my suspicions are confirmed as I met a couple of people in game that never change their build through the course of the game.  I was thinking to my self... well that's stupid! I think this is especially more important for monks because depending on the type of damage you encounter in high level areas, like spike or party-wide pressure, I take different skills.  Also why not try out different things? You never know how good it is until you try it.

BUILDS
An Untested Build: Build:Mo/E Glyph Boon Healer 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! These I feel are bad builds... And what is even worse are those people who say they tested while doing 1vs1 battles... *rips hair out* 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. 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.

More to come...

Humor Builds
These are builds that are so bad it's funny.


 * Build:W/E Starburst Warrior
 * Build:A/Mo Assassins Divinity
 * Build:A/Mo Mending Swiftblades
 * Build:E/Any The Flame Alchemist - This one is fairly funny to read
