Under Construction

Introduction
Hey everyone, welcome to my userpage. I am a crappy Guild Wars player (obviously) who relies on GuildWiki because I am a noob scrub biotch 4 teh pwnage waffles for all Guild Wars related information that isn't related to PvP. Although I have used GuildWiki for a long time, I haven't made many edits in the past because i do not know how to. Maybe that will change now that I am registered and intend to have a somewhat fancy page. (Trevor was here and teh Canadian)

I essentially only play PvP, although sometimes I have to play PvE to improve my PvE toon's armament for PvP. I consider myself a decent PvPer with a good amount of general knoledge, but I'm no expert. The only title I have is Gladiator, which I got slowly through just testing builds and playing in RA when I was bored.

My potatoe Shadowed and I recently started a guild called You Cannot Escape It You Are A [Wave ], which we hope will eventually become a competent and competetive GvG guild. I have been in successful guilds in the past (rank < 250), and I am most experienced at playing Domination Mesmer, Support Ele, and Flag Runner

I am gayly active on the forums of GuildCast, a Guild Wars podcast, although the lack of competitive PvPers there is somewhat discouraging. I use the auctions at Guild Wars Guru for both buying and selling, since I can't stand sitting in Lion's Arch spamming WTS/WTB. Sometimes I read through the forums at Guild Wars Guru, but I am not willing to commit the time necesary to be a part of that community. Finally, I also use Guild Wars Versus, an archive of GvG matches.

  

The Shining Haze [[Image:Mesmer-icon.png]]
The Shining Haze is my only PvE toon worth mentioning here, as it is the only one that is PvP ready. Depending on what is needed and how much free time I have, I may prepare some of my other PvE characters for PvP, but it is not something that I am looking forward to.

Builds
GvG build, often with small variations TA type build with condition support GvG Illusion runner

(I'll add more here later)

Pwning Was Xi Ning [[Image:NA-icon.png]]
Pwning Was Xi Ning is the name I use for my PvP slot. If it isn't obvious, it is a play off the Ritualist's item spells. "Xi Ning" is pronounced Shining, it just looks more asian. Before the release of factions, I used the name The Shining Pwnage for my PvP slot.

I run all sorts of builds in my PvP slot (after all, that's what it's there for) and play in all levels of competition. You may have seen me in RA, HA, or GvG. I occasionally play in TA, but only when not enough guildies are on to do GvG. I avoid AB and CM and consider them inferior forms of PvP (although they can still be fun at times).

Builds
RA Thumper, with ridiculous Enraged Lunge spike damage Heavy Pressure with Spike I had fun with during the preview event

(I'll add more here as well)

I would also like you to know that
