Mirka... about him!
I'm relatively new to Guild Wars, but not to the MMORPG genre of gaming. I hope to bring some insight to GuildWiki; and help out a bit.

I am apart of the guild called "Proudmoore Elite." It's not a large guild, and won't be; as it's just a guild for three of us. A few of my friends quit World of Warcraft, and came to Guild Wars to fill the empty void that was missing due to us not playing any MMORPGs after WoW. I wish I got into Guild Wars sooner!

In "real life" I'm a 21 year old College Student from British Columbia, Canada. My studies don't warrant enough time for me to play quite often, unfortunately, but I'm usually able to sneek in a few hours of game play every day.

Characters
I've been quite busy leveling new characters and working on old ones. I love playing them all and each bring an interesting perspective into the game. Though, my love will always be reserved for the Mesmers.

PvE Characters
/  Mirka Gatti  Mesmer / Warrior 



Aah... Mirka Gatti. My first character, first Mesmer... and favorite character. His build isn't something to rant and rave about; but it works for me and how I enjoy playing the guy. Mirka Gatti is my most accomplished character, as it should because it's my main. 

The name Mirka was taken from my main chracter from World of Warcraft; a Druid. Mirka Gatti originated from an Italian female singer's nickname and last name.

He also switches out to an Illusionary Weaponry build for some Fort Aspenwood fun (when I get him there.)



/ Passive Geist Ritualist / Monk



Ritlord, wha? The poor guy started as a Ritual Lord but I hated using a cookie cutter build... so I 'created' this. This build was the first build that I actually sat down and put together without no help from GuildWiki or other Guild Wars related resources. Though, there is an excellent build on the "Untested Builds" section of GuildWiki that I discovered after I put this together that is pretty much the same thing, therefore I don't take credit for it. The build is awesome and I use this whenever I'm forced to fill a healing role. 

The name Passive was taken from another character of mine from World of Warcraft; a Priest. Geist is German for Spirit.



/ Dave Rodgers Assassin / Monk



Yeah... my Assassin isn't loved. I'm PuG crazy and the only way I get get into one is if I create the group (which I hate doing) or if I drag my friend's Monk with me. As I'm super-paranoid about dying as an Assassin, so I'm loaded up on healing and the melee skills aren't that great. This build is horrible, but it keeps me alive... and an alive Assassin with sub-par damage does more damage than a dead one with a higher damage output.<BR>

The name Dave Rodgers is the alias of a popluar male Italian singer, Giancarlo Pasquini. <BR><BR>

/<BR> Vlad Felsen<BR> Elementalist / Mesmer<BR>



Vlad Felsen is my Elementalist. My Air Elementalist. I don't play him much, and I haven't gotten him too far in progress. The build is really nothing special, again, just focused on how I like to play the guy. I originally wanted him as an Echo Nuker but I got bored of the guy and now he just spikes.<BR>

The name Vlad Felsen was created from playing around with Altavista's Babblefish translator.

<BR><BR>

/<BR> Brian Ice<BR> Warrior / Monk<BR>



Brian Ice, the Wammo! This guy rocks my socks, I'm telling you. The build may be strange; but to my surprise I was able to tank Glint with it for like 10 minutes while the morons I was lucky enough to group with in a PuG for Dragon's Lair were running around like headless chickens. The only way I could die was that I had to stop everything that I was doing and remove all my armor. :) I like the Warrior a lot, but at times I'm clueless and space out a lot... so don't depend on Brian as a good tank. <BR>

The name Brian Ice is an alias of a male Italian singer.

<BR><BR>

/ <BR> Alessandra Gatti <BR> Mesmer / Elementalist <BR>



My second Mesmer, and (technically) my first female character. She's turning out to be a whole lot of fun. Right now, she's still progressing but once I get an idea of how I want to play her (I'm thinking Fastcast Nuker) I will get the appropriate skills. Though, right now her build is sufficient enough to level and progress.<BR>

The name Alessandra Gatti is an Italian female singer's first and last name.<BR><BR>

PvP Characters
/ <BR> Maen Hyjour <BR> Mesmer / Warrior <BR>



My third Mesmer. The main reason I have this guy created is because I haven't gotten Mirka to Fort Aspenwood yet, but I love PvPing there and wanted to give the Luxons some Illusionary Weaponry lovin'.

Other and Future Characters
/ <BR> Linda Geist <BR> Ranger / Elementalist <BR>

She started off as a Ranger I wanted to level, but I quickly got bored of the profession and she now sits in the Guild Hall acting as a mule.<BR><BR>

<BR> Paragon<BR>

When Nightfall is released, I will be making a Paragon to truck through the land of Elona with my friend, who will be making a Devrish. <BR><BR>

<BR> Necromancer<BR>

When Nightfall is released, I will be making a sweet Elonian Necromancer. I'm debating if I should use this one as a character to play with my friend's future Devrish... what do you think? <BR><BR>

The Two Things I Love
There are two things that I love in this game:


 * 1) Icy Dragon Swords
 * 2) Illusionary Weaponry<BR><BR>



Icy Dragon Swords
I love these things. My Mesmer has one for the Illusionary Weaponry fun, and my Wammo has one just because it's full of grade A awesome. Though, I really dislike Firey Dragon Swords... which is quite strange because it's the same sword, except a different colour.

Illusionary Weaponry


Illusionary Weaponry is the one spell I absolutely adore. I just have too much fun with it. I'm either waving around the IW-Icy Dragon Sword pwning some level 6 Charr, fending off Luxons in Fort Aspenwood, or annoying my Monk friend for requireing unnessesary healing. I love the idea of having a caster profession such as Mesmers be able to change from standing in the back picking their nose to rushing in with Sword and Shield in hand hacking away at confused players. <BR><BR>

Guild Wars Pet Peeves
What's a Guild Wars related profile without a list of pet peeves? I've got a few things... ;)


 * Monks with attitude problems. For example:
 * Prophecies: "If you don't meet my demands, you'll find yourself Monkless."
 * Factions: "I'm setting my timer for 20 minutes, and if we're not done by the time the timer is up; or if we're not making progress and I believe you can't make it in time for Masters... I'm leaving."
 * Players with stupid names.
 * If I see a join request from "Nub I Pwns Joo," "Captain Lololol," or any name that makes the player come off as an immature 12 year old kid... I run as fast as I can.
 * Leechers in Fort Aspenwood
 * I don't mind one guy leeching, though it urks me a bit. Two people... I get a bit angry. When six out of the eight people that join just sit back and leech (true story) I get livid. What's the point of logging into a game you don't even want to sit and play? If I don't want to play, I don't play... if I want to get some faction but don't want to press buttons; I decide to not login.
 * Trade Chat Spam
 * The highest numbered district for Lion's Arch and Kaiegn Center are my best friends in this game. When I need to go in to a busy area to buy/trade/sell - interaction with other players... I get so dissy reading all the "WTS Mini Pet 25k!" x3, "WTS Necro Monk Ritualist Greens open trade to look!" x3, etc.
 * Kurzick vs. Luxon
 * I understand there is in game conflict between the Kurzick NPCs and the Luxon NPCs... but why do people have to carry this out in the player base? I'm a Kurzick guy at heart, but it's just a game and it's not like I'm going to carry out an hour debate on which pretend faction in a game is better.

Conclusion
Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you liked it!
