How is he setting anything on fire with that build, LET ALONE DESTROYERS?!

I'm still waiting for someone to come in and say, "Hey! That's my build!"

I mentioned this a previous thread:

My brother and I were helping out a group at D'Alessio Seaboard. Lvl 20 Derv and level 20 Rit. In our group was a W/Me (level 14). He was using conjure phantasm and Ether feast (he never did ping the build).

You kinda should not mock people who have no access to actually decent skills. /i.e. pre-l20 newbies in early missions/

Btw: ether feast was buffed couple of times, now its actually decent self heal. Questionable on warrior thou, but better than firestorms and other stuff you find on average pugger.

A few ago in RA i saw a warrior spamming flare... its was kinda funny, that he tought that he a high armoured elementalist was xD

[pkodyssey]

This tops it all...

[skill]mantra of inscriptions[/skill][skill]holy haste[/skill][skill]peace and harmony[/skill][skill]arcane echo[/skill][skill]mending[/skill][skill]vengeance[/skill][skill]illusion of haste[/skill][skill]ether feast[/skill]

Healing Prayers 12
Inspiration Magic 12

Activate all skills in order. If mending wont keep them fighting long enough use Vengeance to get them back into the fray quickly. Use Illusion of Haste for a hasty get away and ether feast to keep your energy high.

Now this is how to own...

Just kidding, the worst I have seen is [skill]Fire storm[/skill] and [skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill] in Ring of Fire.

Channeling is questionable, and there are better alternatives to Resurrect, but it looks fine to me.

Edit: Hmm just noticed it's missing RoF. I guess that would count as a flaw. Still though, far from useless.

Guardian, Life Sheath and Aegis are a bit redundant?

[blue.rellik]

I'm guessing Spirit Bond and Life Sheath don't like each other or something

This happened to me yesterday and, what is worse, it was NOT with an unknown person, it was with a guildie that needed help.

So my guildie spams that he needs help with a mish, I go with my heroes, he takes his (Tahlkora, Master of Wishpers and Zhed). We get our asses handed out to us and I ask him to ping his heroes builds, and he shows me this:

Tahlkora



Master of Whispers



Zhed


I was like WTF??!!! No wonder I saw $%^#load of bears on that Mission!! Why Does everybody and their uncle has a pet? WHY THE HELL DOES TAHLKORA HAS A PET??!!! Why on earth does Zhed has a pet AND NO PET REZ??!!!

And he goes like: "Well, since I got a MM I need the pets to make Minions".... OMG... I think he detected my state of anger because before I could tell him about "recent updates" he logged off.

Oh, and by the way, his character was a Ranger with... guess what?.... A PET!

Actually, I think a dervish with Healing Breeze is even worse. Saw one trying to PUG in Gate of Madness.

Alas, I don't have anything else to contribute except this little souvenir from Hell's Precipice:


I lulz'd at the hero+pet bars .

[The Way Out]

... I fell out of my chair yesterday laughing (literal roflmao)when I saw a tank in AB use healing breeze. I couldn't get back to my keyboard in time and got trampled by a Luxon mob. I do commend the Luxons on their ranks in "mob mastery"

One thing I can say is I don't flame people for using bad skills... I actually try to help them by explaining why it isn't a good idea to use the skill. As for the pets earlier... that is normally a very "new to guildwars" thing to do. I used to do it constantly a few years ago, because I didn't know about elites, farming, energy management, and so on. Having all those level twenty dots on the screen gave me a false sense of comfort. Thankfully, I ended up rtfm (online, so to speak... wiki, guru, etc), and took a crash course in GW. Now, I offer suggestions when they are needed. I still love the guys who get mad at me when I offer my two-sense without asking... (character flaw of mine). "Shut up, my build is the uber pwnage" "1vs1 me by the wave on the seabed... come alone"... "You only killed me because I couldn't use healing breeze"... lmao.

I can understand he probably didn't have that many skills. However, when you count all of the quests on the way where he could unlock warrior skills. Add in he had 3 outposts (Ascalon City, Yaks Bend, Lions Arch) where skills could be bought.

Edit: Also to note, if you gain balt faction at the Yaks arena, you can unlock higher end skills on the account, and then purchase that skill for your character. (IE: for a necro, unlocking and then buying Bone fiend in Yaks as opposed to waiting to learn in Desert or buy at Droks).

Was Pugging a FoW run, and one of our warriors was running the old classic...

whats even worse was that he called himself a professional; all he did was rush every group he could see...
