How could you miss the most common, most irritating stereotype ?

The ranger/ritualist that lays traps/spirits by the door, then pings the minimap and draws lines on it.

I wouldn't say it makes monks imbalanced. The problem with Random Arenas is that it is Random and, therefore, the worst aspect of Guild Wars PvP. As soon as one team has a monk, and another doesn't, the team with the monk is 90% more likely to win because monks are the "ultimate support class" (according to the booklet). A while back, someone said that there are two aspects of RA/TA: Boon Prot and anti-Boon Prot and I second(ed) that.

You could also easily argue that warriors are imbalanced in RA.

Oh yeah ~~

...So you have to wait until a member of the other team comes in and triggers traps or gets pummeled by balls thrown by spirits. Tedious

I'm in the Thinking Outside the Box group and Regular Players. I have 54 glad points currently and all from random arenas. Most of them came from playing my Necromancer build which I <3.
I have not monked/used a ritualist for any of the glad points. 570k Total balth faction, 500k just from randoms.

Duel Mongrel

The guy with 5 stances and Sever Artery, Mending and Healing Signet, who yells at people to 1v1 him, and cries like a bitch when he gets killed.

The Let's-Wait guy

Expects everyone to stand there, without pinging on the map, and wants the other team to come to him and doesn't assist when you run in, ops to yelling at you instead.

The trash monk

The monk who decided to bring in his level 20 monk with heal breeze and sub max damage weapons into pvp. Seems immune to criticism and skill suggestions.

youre all forgetting the most hated build!! touch ranger! i have been seeing less of them but they are still there in ra all the time...god i hate them

and the thumper.....every ra team always has a damn thumper

the person that is completly oblivious to the game---i encountered a w/rt laying down spirits of pain and bloodsong and using ritual lord....

Former Ruling · Nov 28, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

I'm the kind of guy that uses RA for a laugh. If I'm bored I'll think of the craziest thing that I could run and I go in with it.

I love the glad point seekers that rage all over you if you mess up their point farming lol.

I wish I had that warrior.

last time i played RA e saw a wammo with an elementalist off-hand anda holy rod telling us to go to to em right in the beggining cuz he would heal us.

I only say him using 4 skils:

-mending on him
-orison of healing
-healing breeze.
-purge conditions

I was teamed up with a Mo/E using Flare and Frozen Burst today... We won that match though, but I left after it.

Clawdius_Talonious · Nov 28, 2006, 07:13 PM // 19:13

I'm none of the above, but I've met quite a few like that...

You left out at least one though:
The Running Ranger : This character will fight with his team, but when his group dies and leaves, he just keeps running away. If your team isn't equipped with a slow or cripple, you'll have at least five, and sometimes more like twenty minutes of chasing to do before they finally decide to quit, or actually turn around and fight. If you were in a good team that hadn't gotten to five points or higher, don't be suprised when they leave. Don't give in to the idiocy though, stick with it and kill the idiot, don't let him get free Balthazaar faction for being a moron, that will just encourage him.

kilkelo · Nov 28, 2006, 07:33 PM // 19:33

Clawdius that runt's been classified under Plain Loser and rightfully so. I did that once in my life with a guilide because we wanted to be buttholes. But I won't do it again, waste of time...

Someone should tell all the rits who I've gotten glad points with this. Heck, even playing as a blindbot on a team with a wicked offense is enough to get a glad point. Most of the time monks just force stalemates, not wins.
