Ok, what the hell, Ill add a couple.

Most pugs hate assassins.
Rt Healers are suitable replacements for monks.
Assassins shouldnt tank.
Neither should eles.
Most tanks dont know why they are tanks... they just let the aggro go.
An SS is a suitable replacement for an mm, and most of the time are better.
Aborstone sucks.

Talon would kill both Stephan and Little Thom.

Tiny Killer · Jul 06, 2006, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Hmm, let me think.

Warriors are better than Tanks.
Tanks don't know any better.
Many Rangers are unaware that they have 25 Elite skills to choose from.
Expertise FTW.
Axes are not better than swords, swords are not better than hammers, hammers are not better than axes, etc.
Green items are not inferior to a gold item with the same stats, they are just more affordable.

ideally the monk should not be ressing in mid-battle unless they are 100% sure they can still keep people up and running, but a monk whose experienced in using rebirth can get it off without a hitch. and if a monk is using it mid-battle, they MUST have a -5 energy weapon switch.

And only if it's not used to rez a monk. Anything is better than having a skill which leaves a newly-rezzed monk with no energy, very little health and all their skills disabled for 9-10 seconds. (And most people who I find use it in battles are wammos or R/Mos with 0-2 in protection prayers.) That monk is therefore useless for that duration, is an extra burden on the remaining monk(s) if any, and has cost the Rebirther their energy.

Slightly not true, as I learned earlier today.

If you meet the requirements it is true, however if you do not meet the req it is false. If you have a max green and gold shield with the same stats, then not meeting the req will give you +8AL for the gold and +3AL for the green.

The case is similar with focii and energy.

Here's an old truth: Freanzy + Heal Sig + Lots of big bad scary monsters = insta death + frustrated monks

Also....
Monks are invited to be healers, not smiters(so let people know if your a smiter and not a healer)

Complaning to a monk that thier not healing you will only result in less healing

All classes are steryotyped to do certain things

Guild Wars IS JUST A GAME!!!!! It's purpose is to make Anet lots of money and frustrate you to no end because you can't seem to get by THK without selling your soul first.

Don't blind invite my monk just because you want a healer, if I want to heal you I will ask you if I can join.

False: Its hard for a warrior to find a party.

True: Its easy to find a party as a W/N when you yell out, "Non-Wammo, LFG!"

lishi · Jul 07, 2006, 03:35 AM // 03:35

here how to use rebirth in middle of battle.

healing seed on the tank -> mantra of recall -> switch to my low energy weapon -> rebirth.

Cebe · Jul 07, 2006, 02:32 PM // 14:32

Might as well also pitch in...

Also,
Certain characters get too serious and are way too elitest about who they take on their team.
There's nothing wrong with going back to do earlier missions to help noobs out - you can show off to them and you should always remember that you too were once a noob!
An elementalist makes a better assassin than an assassin (more so if they use Ride the Lightening).
The only time when two healers may become a necessity for a mission is when an assassin goes along for the ride, as they need a healer of their own.
All Warriors have colossal egos, in particular, those who tank.

...I'm done...

One that you never see mentioned much is that if someone in the group has a higher DP than the others in the group, the monsters will seem to go for them first.

The necro henches are psychic. They know everyone's energy at all times!

If you forget to buy keys before venturing out, all chests that are opened by other players are guaranteed to contain gold items

Oni run like girls.

I have yet to meet a truly dangerous group of Yetis.

The henchies say the funniest things when they're off-screen.

Kirin look like a cross between a goldfish and a horse. Unfortunate to say the least.

Minipets make so much noise you'll think you're being chased by monsters.

Full knights doesnt always mean they're noobs.

Nexus Icon · Jul 07, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

I would debate that, but okay, say you're right, full Knight's AND A FIERY DRAGON SWORD means guaranteed noob :P

anonymous · Jul 07, 2006, 06:19 PM // 18:19

Full knights doesnt = noob, some people like the looks and i hate how glads looks but i use it in pvp.

When you blind invite a monk, they are probably a smiter. I sit around with my monk, accept a blind invite then see gogogogogogogogo and once we are in I tell them Im a smiter.

Raxxman · Jul 07, 2006, 08:31 PM // 20:31

Just cause a warrior is 2 steps infront of you doesn't mean he's gonna be able to hold all the monsters he is one person and the monsters forgot their can openers. Respect his personal space.

And by far the most fun. Ever.

Truths :

Erys Vasburg is rank 9.

The only thing more noob than a fds wammo with mending is said wammo without points in healing (dear god, +1 mending whyyyyy)

Not everything can be henched, until they make henchmen in the elite / planar missions. Once they do, people will realize they work better than humans.

1 heal, 1 prot is typically better than 2 heal monks.

Have you even TRIED fast-casting res chant?
Mesmers are often at the back of the pack not getting attacked, so when they cast res chant, you come back with a substantial amount, if not all of your health.
And the target doesn't die when it runs out :E
I've ressed 4 people in quick succession and had them fighting fit as soon as they were ressed before.
