Welcome to my user page!

I've been playing Guild Wars since shortly after it came out. However, I haven't been playing GW continuously since then: played it a ton for a few months after its release, tapered off until the Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace released, and then played intermittently. Now, I'm back into the swing of things in GW, primarily farming and going through the missions with my ranger.

I usually only PvP in the Competitive or Team Arenas because 1) I don't belong to a guild (I don't want to at this point) or have an extensive list of friends to ring up and play Hall of Heroes with, and 2) I'm still testing out various builds I'm working on. However, I intend to play more HoH once this college semester ends, and maybe even join a good guild.

Characters
Scorched Sun - Elementalist / Necromancer or Mesmer Lvl 20
 * This is the first character I made when I started playing Guild Wars. Admittedly, I haven't been playing him much lately since I've been farming with my monk in Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace.
 * Currently he's set at a Water Magic build (for the The Last Day Dawns quest).

Faith Full Eagle - Monk / Elementalist or Necromancer Lvl 20
 * I've been playing this character a lot lately in Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace, since monks are loved by all groups :-D.
 * Healing Monk: Usually Healing/Divine Favor (I've come to put Healing Breeze into disuse) with a bit of Protection.
 * Protection/Bonding Monk: Usually Protection and Divine Favor. Sometimes I like to switch it up by adding Inspiration Magic (for energy to help heal) or Smiting Prayers (so I don't get bored just standing around).

Xena The Haradrim - Ranger / Mesmer Lvl 11
 * Recently been playing her when I'm not farming. Currently in the beginnings of Kryta region.

Fourth Slot - PvP slot: Elementalist/Monk My fourth slot is saved for my PvP character and changes periodically. Currently it's on a water-slow down/lightning build that's been working well for me.

My GuildWiki Projects

 * List skills/spells that monsters use
 * Currently working on bosses right now, especially Sorrow's Furnace bosses
 * Other monsters' skills will be added along the way (primarily with my ranger moving along through the game)

Games I'm Currently Playing

 * Guild Wars (obviously)
 * Unreal Tournament 2004
 * My favorite game of all time. Favorite weapon is the Shock Rifle. Lately I've been having fun with the Minigun to shoot down those Lightning Gun-players since I have no skill with the Lightning Gun.
 * I've also played the original Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003
 * The Sims 2
 * Also includes its expansions.
 * Burnout Revenge for Xbox

Games I'm Waiting For

 * The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
 * THE game I'm waiting for
 * As much as it pains me to wait longer, I'm glad they delayed it a bit. I'd rather much have a perfect, bug-free game with some community-suggested improvements (as stated in the delay statement of "high standards" of the community) than a buggy, quick-released game.
 * The next Guild Wars installment
 * My Xbox 360
 * I know, I know; I'm still a PC gamer at heart and always will be. But the Xbox 360 is great too.  (And I do have an Xbox).

About Me

 * Age: 20 - Male
 * General location: Southern California
 * Profession: Full-time college student
 * Major: Medicine - Would like to specialization in anesthetics or in the emergency room. Currently studying to be an RN and then planning on transferring to obtain my BSN and MSN, preferably as a CRNA.  Then perhaps become a physician.  But we'll see wherever God leads me. :-D

Favorite Bible Verses
These are a few of my favorite Bible verses that help guide me in life (based off the New King James Version):

"Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day." --Psalm 25:4-5

"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." --Isaiah 40:31
