Hi, I'm Funky Jah, officer and co-founder of the guild Clan Panda Exalté, a great guild full of pandas. If you wish to join us, please request it on my discussion page! Please note that you should speak french if you wish to join us, because we are a french guild and not every member understands english.

Cassandra Meliendar
N/Me, she was my first character. I often play her with a blood magic life-stealing build, but I sometimes switch to SS spamming or Minion Master. She is working on a Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer title!

Selemia Ixilith
I created her as a W/El, but I have played her as a W/R for some time to farm Minotaurs and Griffins. Since then I have switched to W/M to smash some Tundra Giant. Well, that was before the release of Nightfall anyway.

Elwina Flamellig
R/M, I use her mainly to clear the Tombs of the Primeval Kings in barrage/pet teams, and as a R/Me to do Underworld speed trap duo runs.

Hempay Luwadon
Rt/N, I stopped playing her since I realized that I don't like the Ritualist style. Now she carries all my gold stuff, my inscriptions and my weapon mods.

Yun Lek
A/R, I have stopped playing her for I don't like Assassins either! She holds my green items, my minipets and my vials of dye.

Phenakia Ixilith
Sister of Selemia, she is a D/P. "God Killer" and "Demon Slasher" are her nicknames. She is very close to becoming Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer!

My game style
I rarely play PvP. I just don't like the stress and pressure it gives me. So I'm mainly on PvE. I don't really like playing with random players. There's always a risk that they are noobs, or that they will disconnect at the most critical time, or that they will suddenly decide to aggro all the mobs from the map. Heroes and henchmen do not have this kind of problems. OK, they often suck, but they are really more than enough to clear most of the game, including the last missions.

I also like farming. Well, anyway I used to farm a bit before the release of Nighfall. After studying the behavior of the mobs with their new AI, I have come to this conclusion: ANET tried to kill mass aggro solo farm. I can no longer farm minotaurs or trolls efficiently with my warrior/monk. This was done to prevent bots from destroying the economy. I don't know if someone has found a way to solo farm large groups of mobs, that would be... interesting. But I disagree with people complaining that ANET has destroyed farming. There are mainly two kinds of farming that you can still do: solo boss farming, and team farming. I'm too lazy to try solo boss farming, but team farming has never been so exciting to me. I realized that a duo Me/M 55 SV/AV + Famine Ranger can kill a group of minotaurs twice as fast as my warrior used to before the update! So in the end it is just as effective as it used to. I have discovered a very nice team build for UW trap too. It's a duo speed trap build, with Echo to mimic Dust Trap and Trapper's Speed to speed up the recharge time of traps. The other R can get Arcane Mimicry to mimic Echo, so that he can get Spike Trap as an elite skill. 30 seconds to kill a group of Aatxes!

My projects
I'm currently working on a software to create and manage builds. This software will be named GWBuildGen. It will be written in PHP5 and will use XML files as data sources. The user interface will reproduce exactly the in-game interface for managing skills and builds, and will make extensive use of the AJAX technology. I have already finished the template management part of the core engine. I will now be working on the build management part. The part of this project that will be the most time consuming will be filling in XML files with data. If you wish to cooperate, you could start here: Skill Template format and add skill codes where they are missing in the list. Thank you in advance!
