In Soviet Korea, PvXwiki use you!

I use the builds somewhat.

I don't think that it's totally fair to say that the PvX wiki is totally worthless. While it's not the God Build Homepage, some sections are definitely more useful than others. For instance, when I was playing Nightfall, you have to use certain heroes in some missions or quests. I didn't like playing a Dervish so I didn't know any builds or which skills the AI would use right for Melonni. So I looked at the Wiki for hero builds and they do reasonably well when you have nothing else.

It's great for exactly what it is: a resource.

Especially when I was new. Just after I bought NF (my first GW game), I was pretty lost in terms of: what skills should I buy? What skills are good for this profession? And secondary?? Holy moly, what do I even want to try to combine with a Paragon, or Necro?? Checking out the various builds began to illustrate skill synergies and uses.

As a cookie cutter template factory, no. As a learning tool, and a springboard for builds, yes - definitely!

I use PvX wiki sometimes, and when i do get a build of there i tend to change a few of the skills for my own because most of the time the build takes a while to get used to. I also got the triple necro vanq builds off there.

have a glance, get some new ideas, and create one

Jenn · May 17, 2008, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Never have. I don't believe I've ever even been to the website before (is there a website? I assume it's not a part of guildwiki? See - I fail).

Trvth Jvstice · May 17, 2008, 04:07 AM // 04:07

I don't believe the "never have" folks - but I try the pvx build and if it's decent in play, I use it, but normally tweak it a little for my play style. The people that say they have never used a pvx build are full of it. All of the proven builds are listed there - are you people saying you don't use good builds?

StormDragonZ · May 17, 2008, 04:47 AM // 04:47

I've never used them. I may have looked to see what is considered "great" and looked at it in my own personal opinion, but never copy and paste. The best builds are the ones you can make yourself and still own everything in sight.

Abedeus · May 17, 2008, 05:10 AM // 05:10

Yeah, but those builds you create are usually same or almost identical to pvx ones.

I believe there is also the option of pressing b in game to get good builds.

shoyon456 · May 17, 2008, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Generally, I look and see if theres one thats "innovative." If there is, I usually change it to make it better for what I'm trying to accomplish.

ThunderStruck · May 17, 2008, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I primarily use the farming builds there, and I look for ideas for PvE non-farming builds and branch off from them

I'm quite aware the guru frming section can be better at times, if you look at my posts you'll see farming section is where I spend most of my time

But to be honest theres quite a few phail builds in the guru farming sections, it is quite hit and miss.

lorazcyk · May 17, 2008, 11:11 PM // 23:11

I used to, and Im glad I did, because believe it or not that's how I learned how to make my own builds...

Ekelon · May 17, 2008, 11:15 PM // 23:15

I believe I'm the guy who gets my builds put onto PvX... So... technically PvX uses my builds. The only PvX build I've ever used was the HFFF stuff. It really helped!

Sora267 · May 17, 2008, 11:21 PM // 23:21

I use them as starting points (for PvE) then mercilessly edit my own version of it. Or I just outright copy them for when I RA (I'm mainly a PvE person but I enjoy opening a can of whoop-ass in RA occasionally).

Looks like Ekelon is...Soviet Korean, whatever the hell that means.

Nop haven't got a single pvx build i mostely keep to my own builds... Admitted iv'e snatched my hero setup.. SAB YOU ROCK!!

Alleji · May 17, 2008, 11:56 PM // 23:56

d. Never

Well, I do use "wiki builds", but I don't use wiki to look them up - I simply don't need to. I know all common bars for HA/GvG/AB and I have enough of a brain to make adjustments to those bars based on what I'm expecting to face and/or my own playstyle.

Some scrub in AB calling someone else (or myself) a "wiki noob" makes me /facepalm every time. People seem to not understand that every good bar in the game is already known and available somewhere online, and probably on wiki. If someone else's build is on wiki and yours isn't, you are the noob. Because you're running a bad build and don't realize it.
