About Shadowshear

 * Hello all. I'm not really new to the Wiki, but I just now created an account. Lame, I know. Anyway, I have been playing Guild Wars almost since it came out. (my account was created in December '05) I love playing this game and have dedicated over 2000 hours to it. I have achieved many titles, and am moderately active in the low-end PvP world, though most of my cool stuff has been earned in PvE. My first ever Character was a Necromancer, to which profession I stay loyal to this day. (expect to find me whining about necro skill nerfs.) However, I usually end up playing most any profession in Random Arenas. I love this game, and I use the wiki religiously for any needs I may have. In fact, most of my knowledge comes from here. I hope that my knowledge helps the wiki out some, and I hope that my ideas of skill balance (which I promote like a hellfire preacher) aren't too terribly wrong.

In the Game
My Four PvE characters are:
 * Sheth Aereason. My first and main character. Necromancer.
 * Kino Zag. My PvE Ranger. I love rangers. Named after my grandfather's Native American name Kinozag, which means "Little Tiger"
 * Hagia Sophia. Yeah I know. My monk. She is a utility. "Hey i can monk for you guys if you want!" I am actually not a very good monk...
 * Novia Verlase. My Legendary Survivor Dervish. She has the title! so once they merge HoM into one! Waits...

My PvP characters are one of every other class. I tend to not be inventive with names, unless its a character that I really care about. PvP onlys barely fit that category.

What I intend to get done before GW2

 * Vanquish Tyria (2/54)
 * Vanquish Cantha (2/33)
 * Vanquish Elona (20/34)
 * Max Sheth's Ebon vanguard Title (r7)

Balance Brigade
I, and many others i presume, have realized that our beloved game of Guild Wars, once so amazing, has fallen victim to a very bad Power Creep. Also, I have realized that ArenaNet doesn't ever actually look on our Wiki at the discussions, and were not even listed as a fansite! (I don't blame them for not picking over every little piece of flame posts and fluff just to get at the few good suggestions, but not listing us as a fansite? c'mon...) Anyway, I was thinking that ANet probably gets 8237938281274q8928798 emails a day from fans asking for balance, some may be good, and some might be "balanze PalmStrik now plzzzzzzzz" and again, I don't blame them for not taking these seriously, with GW2 on their hands, they can't be expected to sift thru the riff-raff just for a few half-decent balance suggestions. However, I think that if we (the Wiki members), as a fanbase, sent ANet an email with many well thought out balance suggestions, and suggestions for some sort of official fan forum where fans can post balance suggestions, and I'm sure some people would be willing to help separate out the trash posts for them.

I would say that all, well written, reasonable balance suggestions would HAVE TO remain on the forum, whether the mods agree or not. Also, ANet members could look at this forum to see what the GW community believes is a good fix for a problem. As of right now, ANet's community communication abilities are about as good as Mark of Protection, and we as a community need to HELP them get better (Really, you can't just bitch about it and expect them to listen to you, you have to formulate ways we can assist them.) so I suggest we come together to create some official ANet forum where people make balance suggestions, starting with rebalance, then balance. However, It can't just be one person, It's gonna have to be a lot. So I would appreciate it if many voices could join this cause.

So, If you're up for such a thing, make a post on my discussion under the seperate topic. We're gonna need many voices speaking as one for this to happen, so if you are dedicated to the amazingness that is Guild Wars, and want to see this game restored to its former glory (I don't imply reverting skills, NevAr!) Then post your name under the discussion topic, and maybe we can get a group of people goin! I'm in!
