Plase move it back
Please, move back to Mo/E Solo G Its not made for Ghial farming only, but for farming MANY boss's, and since its my build I think I can name it what ever I want And I name it Solo G, that is the smallest thing I can expect.
 * And this is a wiki, anyone may move it as they see fit. It is not "your" build, do remember that. Moved back to original name &mdash; Skuld 12:59, 2 September 2006 (CDT)

Deletion / Redictect
Just currious? Why are my user pages getting redicted / deleted? Your killing me here XD! I was editing them and correcting them and now I can't even continue to fix them. --Vulpes Foxnik 14:04, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh wait, I think I see why,It's because they aren't being made in my User:Vulpes_Foxnik/ folder, right? --[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 14:06, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Right, Skuld moved your stuff to User:Vulpes Foxnik/My Builds, User:Vulpes Foxnik/My Characters, and User:Vulpes Foxnik/My Pets since if you don't put "User:" in front of it, it's not part of your user space, just a page in the main article space that starts with your name. --Fyren 14:10, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Well I used the Template to make the links in a  on my User page, hoping that it would use the tile of the page as User:Vulpes_Foxnik rather than Vulpes_Foxnik. Sorry I'm new. Thanks for the help though. --[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 14:13, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

unprotect
Can you please go to [:Category:Build stubs], unprotect it and add. Thx --Xeeron 06:18, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Done &mdash; Skuld 06:21, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Your Offer
"Token, tell me when you're doing a build and i'd gladly help you with it, you seem to care a lot"
 * I'll take you up on that. My most recent build is the [Build:Rt/any Spirit Nuker] .  If you could playtest that one and give any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.  I don't know if there is anything else that I can do with it at this time, but some fresh perspective is always nice.  I'm going to clean up the formatting for that one when I make my next set of notes.
 * Also, just so you know, I am going to be posting a build soon called "Any/R Dire Pet Evolver." I've seen a lot of people asking around the wiki about evolving a dire pet as a secondary, but no real solution.  I still have a lot of testing to do before I post it, though.  It will probably be similar to Tank Master, but I'll have to do some tweaking to account for the lack of Expertise.  I'm going to try writing it as a single build with all ranger skills, but that might not be possible.   It may require 7 (or, after Nightfall, 9!) variations on the same page.  Any recommendations on how to approach writing that one would be great, too.  I don't know of any other builds that are "Any/XX"--Token Cleric 18:17, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Ok i'll give it a go in a min. Do you mean Guide to evolving a Dire Pet/Builds? &mdash; Skuld 01:25, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Actually, yes. That is perfect.  I'm starting with a W/R, which I see in still in need of a build.  I'll also insert the Tank Master as the Ranger Primary build, and put a link to that guide in the Tank Master's article.  It's perfect for that purpose.  Thanks a lot!--Token Cleric 12:09, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Wow. I just had a "Holy crap, Batman!" moment.  I don't need to do any more testing with the W/R Dire Pet Evolver; the combination that I stumbled upon this evening works flawlessly.  Check it out at the link above when you get a chance.--Token Cleric 21:50, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

Armor Icons.
Skuld, the reason why I was uploading 'blank' images for the Armor icons is because it is not possible for ther to be one for Armor Function boxes in Factions. It was because the icon boxes for the Male and female sections were often much longer because of the lack of the file and takes away from the page overal usability. Their either needs to be an option for no Inventory Icons of the options on the function armor sections, or there needs to be a Default. What I made was a blank Default for the Icons by using the empty character inventory slots. It would be better if the template had the ability to handle a no image case. If you had a better Idea of what to use as the symbol for the Undefinable armor icons, go ahead. Otherwise I am going to upload the ones I created. --Vulpes Foxnik 21:41, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Contact user:PanSola and suggest your changes :) Best to get it fixed than use a replacxement 212.158.245.101 05:48, 6 September 2006 (CDT)

A Me/R eh?
Did you like my R/Me build? I didn't think much of it, i just added up some combos. It works best with Druid's Armour. I'm not sure about Me/R...I think you could do pretty much the same thing. Whats fun is using Serpent's Quickness and then spamming Conjure Phantasm. Why not add it to Apply Poison?

U blocked my IP! :( Lol it was being random and deleting stuff. Leeroythefeared 14:07, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Whats your IP?.. On the other note, mesmers can cast faster and have a larger energy pool, they're designed for that sort of thing, you seem to have your classes backwards! &mdash; Skuld 14:10, 7 September 2006 (CDT)


 * 62.254.32.23, see Krytan Armor's history.

Yes, a Me/R would work better probably. On the other hand, i prefer the armour of the ranger. Leeroythefeared 08:40, 9 September 2006 (CDT)

Opps my mistake, you corrected just before I tried to... Thanks --JP 16:47, 8 September 2006 (CDT)

Currently Testing the Viability of…
Hey, could you just take a glance at the above named section on my page and just give me a quick review on my discussion page for each one? Basically this is my personal solution to the lack of comments in the [:Category:Untested builds|untested] section (I agree there should be more, but I'm getting tired of all the arguing about it, people just keep repeating the same things and nothing really gets done/decided). My hope is that by doing this and then asking people for feedback, not votes, I can get the builds perfected before the untested section and save the testers a lot of grief. So far it seems to be working, and I look forward to your help. Thanks in advance.--Azroth 22:46, 8 September 2006 (CDT) PS-Please read the previous discussions for each one as they may answer any questions that you have about the related build.

N/Rt Undead Priest
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you had too much to drink this morning. You deleted this build for the following reason: "Too similar to existing MM builds, the only variations - ritualist healing skills - don't warrent a full new page.)". After reading that I thought I surely must have missed the apparently "similiar" MM build while checking before I posted. But upon searching through the maybe 10 Tested&approved necro builds, I found no MM builds much less any builds that were "similiar". While I am perfectly aware of the General MM guide I don't feel that just because my build features two minion skills that it should have been deleted so hastily and without warning (There was no mark for dele. when I looked in on it this morning)just because there were a couple of similiar skills, the way to play the build was completely different than an actual MM build. So in closing I'd like to say "wtf"-Onlyashadow 13:57, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Huh, I was clearing out stubs and it looked pretty similar to the N/any one. I'll put it back for you &mdash; Skuld 14:07, 11 September 2006 (CDT)

Apology accepted.-Onlyashadow 14:10, 11 September 2006 (CDT)

Request
Think you could sort this out for me dude? A/W_Unstable_Wound (I changed it, added cause of [A/R_Unstable_Wound] ~Shadou  05:54, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It's cool, when you add the +del tag it's added to the articles to be deleted category and our admins go through them periodically, no need to message an admin for it ;) --Xasxas256 05:58, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah, Didn't realise - sorry~Shadou 06:32, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

Thanks
Sorry didn't see it. You're right it is very similar. How do I go about deleting mine?
 * Done it for you &mdash; Skuld 10:14, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

Soz, still have much to learn about all this ^.^

Return
Was my "note"-addition on the page regarding Return superfluous? Just checking. --CoRrRan 10:31, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I removed it because it was well.. obvious ;) &mdash; Skuld 10:32, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
 * OK, fine by me, although I had to check this for myself before I was convinced. --CoRrRan 10:37, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

Build Vetting proposal: Two Category System
Please take a look at this. You'll probably see this, but I wanted to bring this idea to your attention. - Greven 13:19, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Thank you. I shall have a look &mdash; Skuld 13:21, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

Gray Giant
Thanks, I meant to comment the section headings out, and forgot before hitting save. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:46, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah :) &mdash; Skuld 14:47, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

Boon
I hope you have a reason for removing that. Seriously what's your bias? Mercurius Ter Maxim 13:14, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It's detriamental to the wiki to have crap like that. My reasons are on the talk page &mdash; Skuld 14:13, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It's detrimental to wiki to 1. have people removing notes for no reason and 2. have people imposing their biased views about play styles on what should be an unbiased repository of information. Mercurius Ter Maxim 15:16, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Leftover Armor Pictures (and some image name moves)
In dis page, I've rearranged images (and put new ones in where necessary). Left three images without links... Image:Kurzick 15k female monk component.jpg Image:15k kurzick f mo 3.jpg Image:Kurzick 15k female monk purple.jpg

While you're at it, can you rename (however you mods do it) the three Overview images (from Kurzmonkfront, Kurzmonkback etc. to something like Female Monk Ascended Kurzick Front or something to that effect)?

Lastly, I had a question about editing a template (and the armor that is shown in the template). For example, the template shown here has the 2nd image I listed as the female monk (ascended kurzick) armor, but I don't know how to show the undyed version instead. I'd click Edit, and the thing'd be blank. Some tips on that would be awesome. Thanks again, Skuld :) -Auron  23:34, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

More left-out images...

 * You want images renaming? The only way to do that is to save it to your PC and reupload it with the correct name. &mdash; Skuld 02:32, 18 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I'll do that, then give you the leftover pictures (like I usually do). -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 19:43, 18 September 2006 (CDT)

there is a reason I put a troll tag there... -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 17:35, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

Deletion?
You deleted my build [R/Me_Bunny_Slasher] but it is still in the untested category. Two things. Did you read my respose to your deletion, and did you really delete it or were you just "cleaning house" because I'm pretty sure it is still there. Thank you. Baron Will Scarlett 14:06, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * PS - (Also, i think that you could be a little nicer to people - not me - when you are evaluating their stuff. More constructive critiques and more hospitable use of words can go a long way in making someone not feel like crap and attacking tose who criticized his/ her work. (= ) Thank you again. Baron Will Scarlett 14:06, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * On reasonable builds I give constructive critisism. I'm afraid I'm not going to start sugar coating my disgust on ridicuous builds, sorry. &mdash; Skuld 14:10, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * There's a fine line between sugar coating and outward disrespect for people... --Theeth (talk)   14:12, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeh, sorry &mdash; Skuld 14:13, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Skuld, I really appreciate you listening to me and I would love any comment to make my build either less like the [Me/R Illusionary Beastmaster] or more effecient than it. I strive for effeciency in anything I do and I'm hard to give up on something that I believe in. Thank you. Baron Will Scarlett 14:20, 17 September 2006 (CDT)

Shout categories
For shouts, categories should be in the articles so their sort keys are set to the name without quotes. --Fyren 08:36, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeh, I put most of those in. Have I been deleting them? &mdash; Skuld 08:37, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Just on "Lead the Way!", I think. --Fyren 08:42, 19 September 2006 (CDT)

Shocking Flurry== ==

According to this you moved it back to unfavored because I favored it three times, this is completely untrue. I voted once and signed, I suggested to my IRL friends who go to school with me and play GW with me to check out the build. After testing WITH ME on GW they approved of it and voted when they got to school-Onlyashadow 09:51, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * That aside, isn't that kind of biast? &mdash; Skuld 09:54, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * You looked at it and voted against it w/o testing, isn't THAT kind of biased? They actually took the time to test the build, you didn't.-Onlyashadow 09:57, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * New vote for you :) &mdash; Skuld 09:58, 19 September 2006 (CDT)

A/N survivor
You deleted my build stating its inferior to a primary MM build BUT IT WASNT BUILT FOR THAT

was build to stay alive, which is what all the shadow arts are for and the bonuses given to them

has nothing to do with killing, only to live

User:NZMitzi
Skuld, I think you made a mistake by reverting the page. Onlyashadow reverted the blanking and you blanked the page again. 0_o ~ Nilles (chat) 15:01, 20 September 2006 (CDT)


 * - you probably don't deserve this then. Probably.  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 17:39, 20 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I don't think so. 85.191.18.35 has done the majority of that page if you look at the history &mdash; Skuld 16:30, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I think we can assume Biro meant to put that on his own talk page, but missed. --Fyren 19:31, 20 September 2006 (CDT)


 * /cries  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 04:20, 21 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Wow - I should have noticed earlier. Doesn't this incident tell us a lot about ourselves? I think it does. 0_0 ~ Nilles (chat)  10:41, 21 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Someone did this before when an anon edit someones page, someone did it to me too when I edited as anon on mine. Don't be so hasty to revert - only do it if you're sure its vandalism, if an anon edits a page to add new skill caps or w/e like in all 3 incidents, there is 99.999% chance that that isn't a vandal :) &mdash; Skuld 10:44, 21 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Normally I wouldn't have reverted an anon edit, it was only when I saw you had reverted to someone elses edit that I went ahead and did it. In hindsight it was an even more stupid thing for me to do, but never mind :P  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 12:51, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

N/W?
I'm assuming that necro build in your sandbox is an N/W and not W/N? What are the attributes at? Do soul leech and mark of subversion still trigger if you interrupt the spell? Man it looks frightening! :) Cool idea, how is it working? -- BrianG 22:44, 21 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It isn't mind, just a skill-watch from observer mode a while back :) I guess the attributes would be 12 + 1 + 1 blood, 12 axe, 3 + 1 SR, or possibly 16 blood &mdash; Skuld 02:02, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Cool thanks for the info. Are you planning on trying it?  Do you think it needs energy management?  That new signet from Nightfall might be useful.  Do you know if the hexes still trigger if you interrupt the spell? -- BrianG 12:17, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

higher standard notice
Hi, I see you've left a higher standard notice on Skills and Attributes Window. I wonder why though, since I only marginally edited the previous, cmplaint-free version and did not change style or layout at all. It may be obvious to you, but not to me. So, would you elaborate? RolandOfGilead 10:29, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

Delete images
The unused image list needs purging again. Please go to Special:Unusedimages and delete all images named "Gr25 ". They were replaced by bigger sized versions some time ago. Thanks once again. -- (talk) 16:26, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Thanks...
Thanks for moving my Critical Scythe Master to my namespace. But one question: When Nightfall comes out and I go to submit it, should I move it back to the original page and then just mark the one in my namespace with delete tags?--Azroth 17:00, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yup, just move it back &mdash; Skuld 17:05, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
