 * Yes, I've seen that one as well. I live in South Africa and after she made that statement they played it on the radio and everywhere :P We just laughed at our supposedly "bad education". If we need help from the same people who taught her, we would be doomed to only being able to compete in beauty pageants. Silver Sunlight [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|19px]] 11:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I lol whenever I try to tell ppl that many other countries have education that (in general) surpasses US and they're like, "nowai, can't be true, USA FTWWWW". [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I must say, the best misconception I've heard is people asking us if we have tigers walking around in our streets. First you have to convince them that tigers don't even exist in South Africa outside of the zoos, then that we don't have wild animals walking around everywhere >_> Would be fun going to school on an elephant though.

Oorsome
Needs more image licensing, although I'm pretty sure it's public domain (seen it enough places) (T/C) 02:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 403 Forbidden, I can't enter the site to see what license it has. It was from another wiki, if that is good for anything. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 19:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Healer's Boon
So tell me why it's bad, I'm curious (T/C) 00:46, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Promotes bad monking, aka pure red bar monking, no prevention. When you take HB, you need HB + two other heals (at least) to make your healing job. When you consider the recharge times of WoH/Imbaspirit/Dwayna's Kiss, taking three skill slots to do the same job is redundant and is a waste (HB+other two). Of course, HB can be played as an hybrid bar with prot leetness; but there's no real point. You lose efficiency and waste energy to do the same that WoH + one other can do. Healing Prayers is redundant and not really awesome. Healing is a response, it's not preventive such as prot. The skill itself is not bad, but there are at least five or six other elite skills that I would rather take for anything, than this one.
 * The best monk bars are hybrid. Because, you'll see, the best monks can do is protting. But, of course, prots don't make red bars go up. As said, you don't need five skills that do the exact same thing. Preventing damage is way, WAY more cheaper (energy-wise) and effective at keeping your team alive. You don't need a bar full of heals because you shouldn't being outhealing the damage, but preventing it, because it's the most efficient thing to do. When your target ally is dead, you can't heal him, and he builds DP. It's quite easy to kill anything without any protting around, both in PvE and PvP.
 * As far as heroes goes, they suck majorly with HB. They don't quite know they're overhealing, and for a lot. Because they always overheal, or heal too late. Furthermore, they don't know you use GoLE in conjuction with Aegis or Heal Party, and they don't actually know what energy management is about. Like if that wasn't enough, they like to spam skills like if there was no tomorrow. But that's only the casters, because Koss seems to like sitting there with D-slash fully charged and FGJ! up without using it. In general, monk heroes are terribaed; they overheal, they don't know how to prot, they have energy problems (monks are imo the hardest profession to manage energy on). Giving them a healing bar is asking them to get out of energy in any longer-than 10 seconds battle, which happens quite a lot when I you over aggro. Since heroes need so much energy management, you can't really make them hybrids, but a dedicated healer is wasting damage. If you need some kind of healing/damage prevention in your hero slots, you better take something with unlimited energy (E/Mo, N/Rt), or utility using some skill slots in all your heroes. Mhenlo is good enough with WoH, as long as you prevent the damage (you as in you + heroes).
 * Feel free to ask about anything I said, because I don't think I've quite explained everything enough. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 01:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Would it be fair to say that, to ultracondense your argument, "HB is bad because WoH is good"? Also, Mhenlo uses Orison of Healing, which kinda negates WoH's usefulness :> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:32, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I retract. HB ain't bad, it's decent. WoH, ZB, RC, DH and SoD are all better. Your party shouldn't be taking that much damage to need powerheals, you just need a sporadic one to counter minor pressure and degeneration. Mhenlo knows it. Since parties are usually composed of two monks, a powerheal allows you to expend most of your time preventing damage. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 01:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Image naming
Hi!

Good job being so active lately! However, I'm afraid I'm going to have to delete Image:Gw204.jpg for being too generically named. Please reupload it with another name, because it's going to be deleted - I'll do it in 24 hours if nobody else does it first.

And while I'm at it, if you want to link to an image without having it show, do it like this:  (note the colon). The way you've been doing it means the wiki doesn't know you're using the image (see What links here), and any admin would think this image is fair game for deletion. --◄mendel► 13:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't got that third paragraph. But yeah, no problem deleting it, I was probably going to, as soon as I discovered how. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 17:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
