 * Basically, answers has social tools installed, and userpages should do something different than they do on normal wikis. On unanswers, it looks as if the setup had been copied incompletely, so you get neither the social profile nor the userpage - this is broken for all users!

Hi all, well, turns out Wikia made a mistake not me... I take credit for it as my version of events is just much more amusing. Anyways, I'd like to invite you all over to UnAnswers @ Wikia.

(RI) My apologies to those who voted, adding the Lich restarted the Poll. You of course are enabled to vote again, be it for the same option or a different one. A F K When Needed 12:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the Lich is like the most evil, undead thing I can think of, I mean he friggin summons Wraiths and wants to take over the world with a Titan army after singlehandedly destroying an entire kingdom! The whole Abaddon crap was added later, I doubt they had it in mind when they made Prophecies.  Anyway, Bone Dragon is one of my favorites, too.  Necrid is kind of cool, but too common. :P A Banished Dreamrider or whatever they are, the ghostly version in the UW, would be way cooler, even though they're Mesmers.

 * Well, Abomination looks more like a freaky alien than undead, so I'd go with the Bone Dragon, if only he was a little bigger... But yeah, the Diablo face, the enormous black wings, the long robe, doesn't get more necromantic/evil/devilish than that. :P And he's pretty tall for a mini, so makes him a lot more noticeable, and he waves the wings around. ^_^ (ya ya, me likes how the Lich looks, bite me.)

55ing on Necro (It's an easy way to get r3 Survivor... leave me alone) outside Bergen
What'll work better with only 12 Smiting? Ray of Judgment Shield of Judgment


 * Knockdown is counterprodictive in farming, so RoJ.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 11:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It allows you to more safely aggro extra foes and kill them all at once, and RoJ requires trying to get Rangers side by side A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 11:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, actually each have it's benefits. SoJ will do more damage with a single cast, but the "pulses" will only be once every 3-4 seconds, and is less effective against the casters. Another thing, do you plan to go HM with it? If you do, then I think SoJ will outclass RoJ.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 12:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course it'd be HM o.O A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 12:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

r3 Survivor is probably easilier done by going outside Boreal Station on HM; You cannot possibly ever die and you get half a ton of XP per worm :>

Also, 55's, imo, are unreliable. Other than that; SoJ for Undead grinding. --- -- (contribs)  &emsp;(talk)  13:03, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Mind if I ask how it's unreliable? Not trying to act like I don't trust your judgement or anything, but apart from enchant strippling I've always found it extremely easy and safe to 55 :P A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 13:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Lagg and DCs. Indeed, if you ignore that fact, it's very reliable, up to a certain threshold: Ripping and rupting hurts. Too many enemies hurts (half a sec downtime on SoA can kill you :P ). --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs)  &emsp;(talk)  13:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Viper, to be fair, it's hard to not die if soloing for XP and you lag. That's not unique to 55ing.
 * And having 55ed before, I'm confident I won't over aggro, but thank you very much for warning me before I try it A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 13:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Worm farm outside Boreal, as already mentioned. Melee monsters which cannot move + ranged attacks. If you afk for weeks you'll still be alive :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  13:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * What should I do there, MM with some damage skills? A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 13:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Well stationary: RoJ wtfpwns? MM stuff would be nice with that (bone fiends maybe, so your minions don't die form the enemy's attacks.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 13:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * RoJ doesn't catch many worms in each blast... I imagine... A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 13:32, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * True, but what other elite would you use? the MM ones are mostly high-end caps, exept for flesh golem, but Tanakai is f'in hard to get through without dying. You could always use a tome, but still... Roj seems the safest to me.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 16:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I would use an Elite Tome. As it stands I'll 55 outside Bergen. I've already used an Elite Tome on Signet of Judgment. Mistake A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Lawl. Well, it'll have to do for the moment :P --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 17:03, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You could use any form of ranged damage. Minions are questionable, though, since there's like 12 worms tops. RoJ and Blood Magic (LT! :O) work fine. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ...um...is this LT? It's the only one I can think of tbh A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

(ri) Here's a cookie and a wall of text. Enjoy!

Those worms was how I finished my survivor. Realistically you need 2 main skills: Mark of Rodgort and Firestorm. The rest of the bar is just gravy. The worms are extremely resistant to most types of damage, especially physical, so minions won't do very well without a high level Barbs. The worms are also well spaced out, so any kind of AoE still only hits one worm at a time, and MoP is useless. I was able to kill all the worms in HM up until you get to the trees (who can kill you very fast) in about 5 minutes, so cheap scrolls worked nicely. About 10 worms with 700XP a pop with the 175% scroll. I did have Searing Flames for extra "bang" but it wasn't necessary by any means, and can be replaced by just about anything from the fire line. Mark of Rodgort + Firestorm almost finished off a worm, at level 12 Fire I imagine it could get off at least half to 2/3 his HP, as burning is awesome against any kind of armor. Add a second AoE like Breath of Fire and he should be dead before he hides. I also brought Flarespam, GoLE, Glowing Gaze, and Fire Attune. A fire wand to set off more burning if your worm is almost dead, and a +1 to fire offhand are ideal. Perfect is Kindlerock and Hajkor's Flame. And dude, investing in an elite tome for your survivor is money well spent, for once.

You can also try going MM with Fiends only, or add a Jagged for some bleeding. Bring Rotting Flesh, Death Nova if you have Jaggeds, Signet of Lost Souls, and Barbs as high as you can get them. Necrosis rounds this off for nice armor-ignoring damage, even if you're not high in the title. The rest is whatever you can think of. The best Elite for this, IMO, is Reaper's Mark for insane Emanagement and some extra degen, and you can cap it on noob island. Toxic Chill (if you don't have Jaggeds+Death Nova) and Discord (you meet the reqs for it with Barbs and Rotting Flesh) are also a possibility, but those are harder to cap and you will need a tome. Keep in mind, -10 degen is max, so only 2 degen skills are usually effective. Since you won't be getting attacked, Superior runes are ideal for death, curses, and SR, just learn where the worms pop up (always the same spots) and don't stand there. I rubberbanded and even DC'd and reconnected a few times in there, and guess what, still got my survivor r3. It's the absolute safest way to do it. Even in Dwarven Boxing you can still die if you lag and can't hit your 8's fast enough. Also, if you got money laying around, bring lockpicks. There's usually at least one, sometimes 2 chests in that one little area. Best I got out of them was a few elite tomes and Dolyak Prods. And don't EVER aggro the trees, they have crip shot - if you aggro them, map out immediately, your run is over.

In the end, whatever you do, I would personally strongly advise against going 55 for survivor, because it has zero forgiveness for errors and lag. If you're still stubborn, go with SoJ, it keeps you safer. I lost my first survivor (more than a year old ranger that got to Unwaking Waters, THK, and Bahdok Caverns) to a Devourer in a lag spike only like 100k XP from r3, and it was very stressful and disappointing. RoseOfKali 18:42, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh. I'm as loyal to that Poll as I was to the Tonic one.
 * Thank you very much for the WoT :)
 * The thing about 55ing is... well... I'm good at it. It was the first build that I mastered. I don't mean got good at. I don't mean understood. It was the first build I mastered. It has significance for me in that respect, and it would be truely awesome if it could play a part in me getting the Title.
 * If you don't mind me asking... do you've any idea roughly how many hours it took worm farming to go from level 20 to r3? After your WoT I'm considering it, something I did not see happening.
 * If it was quick enough I might get a Doomlore Shrine run, catch a CoF run, grab the Elite Skills, and since I'd have an elite, then go offer to "help" someone with A Land of Noobs. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 18:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm very impatient when it comes to grind, so I only could do this a few hours at a time. I finished it in about 2 weeks doing it only every couple days.  Now for some horrible math: Take about 9 minutes per run (killing, mapping, selling, running to the worms), which yields about 7k XP.  1,196,900XP (r3-r1XP)/7,000XP per run = 171 runs.  171*9 minutes = 1539 minutes = 25.65 continuous hours, give or take a little.  Not too shabby...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 18:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * thanx very much :D A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 20:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Right, I capped Reaper's Mark. Superior Runes are, imo, asking for a lagspike at the wrong time e.g. standing where I can be attacked or whatever which means Reaper's + Rotting doesn't quite cap the degen. So atm it's SoLS, Reaper's, Rotting, Vile, Necrosis (r4 atm) and Deathly. I don't plan on using Deathly, but... well, I have it - so there's no reason not to bring it. Time to give it a shot. A F K When Needed 12:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, maybe I'm sad maybe? but that's really fun. It really feels like a guilty pleasure. I was enjoying myself so much my heart nearly gave in when a Pinesoul appeared right beside me literally right beside me.
 * Yeah, probably get old quink 'n' all, but that's a pretty nice method, thanx guys! It's so safe it's lulzy. But... I get Norn rep and drops for this? umkay :P A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 12:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Awful, isn't it? :P Dwarven Boxing is nothing compared to Worming imo. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  15:42, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Dwarven boxing is still some fun at least. Worm killing is boring and slow. Less risk, but it takes ages before you get some decent exp. Worm killing gives, what, 7k per 10 minutes with scrolls? Dwarven boxing gives almost 20k without a single scroll in 12-15 minutes. The huge gain offsets the risk. And if you're lagging too much, simply stop boxing and do the worms untill lagstorm is over.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 06:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Why all the redirects?
Why can't you just leave the talkpages from an article stay there?

And knowing Murphy very well now (with 4 r2 survivors dying in a lagspike in total), there's a rather high chance to get one before you reach 1337k exp.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 18:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

ArenaNet bullshitting
Moved from User:A_F_K_When_Needed Ben Miller: The names may change between now and then, but essentially that's what they are. One of the key things about these PvE only skills, there's kind of two key things. One is that they're tied to your reputation with these NPC groups that get more powerful the more reputation you gain with them and the higher your rank is. The other thing is that we understand how people like to play the game and people don't like builds dictated to them, so at no point during Eye of the North that you will have to equip some PvE skills to get past a certain encounter. The PvE skills are there just to deepen your experience and to give you more options in how you play the game. ''...um...how do you get through the gates in Blood Washes Blood? Oh yeah...'' A F K When Needed 19:20, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * ...um... that's a temporary skill, like Disarm Trap, not a PvE skill, you do not need to do any side quests to obtain it, it cannot be equipped in town, and it is not tied to the title track. Sorry for posting here, feel free to move to talk.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ...um...that's a temporary PvE only skill (never seen Ursan Aura in HoH tbh) and you must equip it or you're locked out, it's not equipped in town but it does take up a skill slot, I don't acknowledge a creditable difference A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When 15:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC) Needed
 * ...um... but the quote talks specifically about PvE skills, so it doesn't apply to temporary skills. And if you're in a party, only one person needs it.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, temporary. Now, can you temporairly have it in RA? A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 12:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * AFK, frankly, you're missing the point. I doubt Ben had seriously considered every possibility when he made that statement. The point is that you don't have to add any PvE skill to your repertoire to beat any part of the game: you can run it with a bar with no title track skills whatsoever. The fact that sometimes you need to do stuff in PvE that you can't do in PvP is exempt from that; you don't have to do anything to get that skill. It's like running a wurm: only with a slightly different mechanic to it that means you "lose" a skill slot. The gist is that you don't need Ursanway or anything like that, the game is geared to be completeable without learning those skills. Bringing up this borderline case is just splitting hairs. -- ◄mendel► 12:43, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure you can, talk to the Bear Spirit and you're set. The skill isn't restricted to pve, it just happens that you can only get it from an NPC there. There are temporary skills in pvp, how about Costume Brawl. If you start thinking "but those are just normal skills" consider a player who only owns one campaign but gets temporary skills from the others. Those skills should be locked because the relevant campaign isn't owned. -<font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  13:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * As you well know "it" = Ursan Aura which, no, you cannot have in PvP. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 13:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Mendel's point is the better way to handle that quote. All I'm saying is that if you look at PvE skill half of the definition says that it's locked out while in pvp. We don't know if Ursan Aura is locked out, so it doesn't fit being called a PvE skill unless you're guessing, and if you are guessing, the fact that it's not equippable in town, isn't tied to an attribute or profession, and doesn't stay out of that zone points to it being a completely different kind of skill than any of these. (I admit the costume brawl bit is confusing, I decided against using that argument.) -<font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  15:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Strictly seen, the Ursan Aura is a PvE skill required to continue the mission, so AFK is right in that. It also doesn't matter wether skills are "locked out" in PvP, because there will never, ever be an opportinity to find out. It will never be available in PvP, so it is in the most strict way possible, a PvE skill.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 16:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. It's only available in PvE, and you must equip it. End of. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 16:27, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Re OP: Heart of Shadow. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you jump over otherwise impassable obstacles (exept for monsters) with shadowsteps? No. Only teleport can do that, and there are no ways of aggroing the charr at the other end of the gates.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 16:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * True. Didn't think of that.
 * Still, imo, Ben Miller is right. As Rose said, Ursan Aura isn't necessarily a PvE skill. It's just not available outside that mission (heck, you could call it a Blood Washes Blood skill while you're at it. It's the only quest you'll get it!).
 * Oh, also, you could let someone else take it ;o --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It's still a PvE skill in the most strict meaning of the word, it's only available in PvE. And if you let someone else take it (which would be pretty stupid, as it's ursan pre-nerf), that person is still forced to take it, rending Benny's statement incorrect.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 17:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've gone from thinking nobody agreed with me to thinking that most of you simply don't understand the point.
 * Can you get it in PvP?
 * No.
 * Is it a skill?
 * Yes.
 * What are such things called?
 * PvE only skills
 * Do you need it to be used for you to complete a mission in GW:EN?
 * Yes. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:36, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * PvE skill =! PvE only skill. I know it's a mess that in normal english use they look the same but a "PvE skill" is the name of a type of skill with specific rules attached, it is not just a "skill" you only get in "pve". IF you don't get this, then I'll just not bother explaining more. -<font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  01:16, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that Ben's statement is basically incorrect. I also agree with mendel, though; it's splitting hairs awfully fine.  It's likely just an error, or at worst, a very minor exaggeration.  Calling it bullshitting implies significant dishonesty, and this just isn't significant.  (Edit:  I was lazy earlier.  Actually bothering to look up and see the guy's name this time, I'll modify my ambiguous reference.)  Nwash 17:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Nwash, did you typo that first sentence by any chance? A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I understand what you meant now. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * To go further into what ezekiel just said: The problem is, how can one check that those PvE only skills are not PvE skills internally? They just can't be checked, so either a-net has been lazy and let them remain a normal (albeit temporary) skill, or they also made them function as a PvE skill internally. Anyway, we'll never know, and for this argument, it doesn't even matter tbh.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 09:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Well I hate to point this out to anyone but you are wrong. The entire argument could have been avoided by reading the original explanation. Specifically the lines "One is that they're tied to your reputation with these NPC groups that get more powerful the more reputation you gain with them and the higher your rank is." In Blood Washes Blood you get the skill Ursan Aura, you are confusing it with Ursan Blessing. Ursan Aura the actual skill you use in the mission is NOT tied to any title track. Therefore it lies outside of the original definition. 76.123.149.130 10:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)((Tenetke different comp didnt feel like signing in))
 * Sigh... that really is covered in attitude. What we're... debating... is that, while he waffles on about various things, Ursan Aura, as well as Ursan Blessing is only available in PvE - now go read the quote and the discussion to date again. We're well past the point you've made. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 13:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
