CHARACTERS
This is like...THÉ lamest name ever. It's my first character so I was didn't know anything about the game at all. Tira just sounds like a failed Tyria, and the Holy crap...well.. I don't know... Though I googled "Tira" the other day and I found out it's a town/city in Israel. So I made him W/D to make the name suit him perfectly :D ("Holy" kinda suits Dervishes, right?)
 * Name: Holy Knight Of Tira
 * Campaign: Prophecies
 * Profession: Warrior / any
 * Titles: Tyrian Trailblazer (cant get past hell's precipe...that mission's just so..MEH)
 * Speciality: Axe and Hammer Builds; Farming UW (original, huh?); used to farm Trolls etc.

My second character. I didn't really know what to expect from the Mesmer profession, so that's basicly why I took a Mes. I read in the manual (yes, you can read those things) that fast casting with Ele nukes work well with eachother, so i decided to make him Me/E. Later on I found the little piece of Heaven called Illusionary Weaponry (seriously, I adore this skill), So I made an Me/W, Me/A and lately Me/D-Builds. Even a Me/Mo Iw 55 solo farming Build... I <3 MESMER
 * Name: Arcon The Amazing
 * Campaign: Prophecies
 * Proffession: Mesmer / Ele / Necro / Assassin / Warrior
 * Titles: Sunspear Commander (YAY!)
 * Speciality: Fast Casting Echo Nuking and Illusionary Weaponry.

I have absolutely NO idea why this is a N/R...I havent found any good N/R yet, and probably never will. I always liked the little Minions/Horrors and later on I found out it's even more fun blowing them up :D. I also like BiP-ing...for some reason. People seem to like other people, using BiP. That's probably why I made most friends with this character, cause like, in missions, 'She' got to pull some people through some hard stuff.
 * Name: Greaven Deathspawn
 * Campaign: Prophecies
 * Profession: Necromancer / Ranger (don't ask)
 * Titles: none! :D
 * Speciality: Battery, Bomber and MM

So like..Yay! a Ritualist...I absolutely hated the Assassins, because they were just a bunch of uninspired little skinny Naruto wannabe's (no offense to people whol play/like sins, just an offence to whomever came up with the idea to use them in the game;)) So I decided to become a Ritualist, when I bought Factions.
 * Name: Aysha The Amazing
 * Campaign: Factions
 * Profession: Ritualist / Necro / Sin / Dervish
 * Titles: Canthan Explorer, Sunspear Commander (YAY!yet again)
 * Speciality: Bombing, Spirit Spam, Spirit's Strnegth Builds

defender of Ascalon, now that's a cool title, especially when the character is named after the capital of Ascalon...well...I never knew being a defender could be so boring. I stopped leveling him when I started doing that twitch with my left eye. Even though I'm gonna get him to lvl 20, get him in 15k Ascalon Armor, get him an Ascalon Maul (Warhammer with ascalon maul skin, what's the difference?) and just be Awesome, it's gonna take me a lot of spare time and..tears. If it's still sitting there in like a few months...I'm so gonna get rid of it...
 * Name: The Knight Of Rin
 * Campaign: Prophecies
 * Profession:Warrior
 * Titles: Defender Of Ascalon (I WISH)
 * Speciality: Staring...Standing Still...Doing nothing.

The only reason I actually made an Elementalist is to solo farm UW but I found out my Warrior can do the same thing (without getting nerfed). So I tried solo farming (and running) IDS's and it worked. Though it was very frustrating and it got boring so I stopped doing that...Now she farms a green here and there. And she's still not finished with the Campaign so gonna have her do that...some day
 * Name: Avia The Amazing
 * Campaign: Nightfall
 * Profession: Elementalist / Dervish / Mesmer
 * Titles: Sunspear General
 * Speciality: 'She' used to be able to solo farm IDS's...though that's been a while (November or something) so i don't know if she can still do it. She's basicly Earth Tank and Fire Nuker.

He's onle lvl 7 and...Istan's just so boring...or, I dunno, it's just, I never feel like doing something with this character.
 * Name: Avatar Of Paradise
 * Campaign: Nightfall
 * Profession: Paragon / War (/ Rit as soon as he can)

And the PVP Character, last-but-not-least:
 * Name:Hero Fruitontbijt (this is where Dutch people are supposed to..uhm... laugh?)
 * Preffered Proffesions: Warrior, Mesmer (shoot me HAH!), Necromancer.

MY BUILDS
Okay let's get some things straight, I allready came up with like 10-15 builds on wiki (non favored (lol)Edit:BuildN/Mo The Anti-Healer wewt!). They should actually be considered "My Builds" too. Though the builds I make on wiki are supposed to be as efficient and original as possible (what am I doing wrong? D:). These build are actually what I use(d) in PvE and they, well, aren't really the greatest builds ever, but they are pretty cool. Here are at least two "original" builds. Most builds I use are pretty generic.

"InvinciBOMB"

Mobs attack you -> you take no damage -> Minions take al damage -> Minions Explode -> With something like 6 minions exploding in your opponents face, you do some Impressive damage -> Corpses -> Minions -> Etc.

Even though it's "Invinsible", it can't be solo'd. The corpses have to come from somewhere, right?

"Spirit Scythe"

I also like using this build with Whirling Charge and Eremite's Attack, for a Pretty High DPS.

Three builds like this have allready been unfavored. But I think those weren't for PvE. Not to mention: Ancient Armor + Weapon Spell + Scythe = Awesome. (yet to buy ancient, though)

"Sacred Rage"

As Much as people say Primal Rage sucks, the more I'm tend to like it. This is just five skills, though...I haven't found any skill that can work with this, since primal rage disables them for 10s and it's a stance...Only thing that might help is either an enchant, hex, shout, chant or echo ("I Will Survive!" mebbe?).

"The Wassassinator"

I love that name! :D I like W/A builds...if used right. This is a pretty nice spiking build... At least, it's supposed to be.

"Sandstorm Bomber"

Even though I don't play Dervish, this looks like a pretty neat spike...Think I'll test this with a PvP Character. (This works better than the allready existing D/A bomber build, seriously ;))

PvE W/R Beast Master

Pets look so cool on a warrior :D This is pretty much a basic build, which I like to use when I feel like bringing a pet. The (Pet)Attacks are basicly optional, you can switch them, take sword attacks, Take, say, Call of Protection. Whatever, all you need is an IAS, Charm Animal, and Heal as One.
