Actually, I know Lulu personally, and although she posts builds, she does not claim credit for them. In the case of this video, it was PaulOtt's work, and one should realize the difference between an important participant and an author. In Guild Wars, builds are often recycled, refined, and renewed as time passes. What you claim to be *your* build might in fact be a build that someone else has ran in the past -- with some differences and slight modifications. As such, it's not only an extreme case of arrogance to proclaim that it's your build alone, but also a blow and a disgrace to every other precursor of that build.
In the case of this necro build as shown by the video, Paul has said many times before that the first time that he has seen the build was from a mention made by Adam of the Fianna. This idea was dormant until Isaiah (known affectionately as Izzy, and who is also our beloved skills balancer of ANet) made this current build into what is seen in the video today. Lulu never claimed any ownership to the build -- other than an active participation and an integral part as the designated target caller of this build.

Now, to analyze this quote.. your accusation is based on the claim that you "know Lulu," and yet, a mere sentence later, you say that "not that he has stolen my builds, I just know how he is." That is a tremendous contradiction of terms -- one which I find quite unbelievable since you repudiated your own words in the very next sentence you wrote. I really don't wish this to be attack, and it is not meant to be one at all. However, I find it inexcusable that such a claim be made when your own words reveal the extent of your "knowledge" and "intimacy" with Lulu -- a valuable member of the Guild Wars community.
Please show one video that Lulu has made that stole another's ideas. Otherwise, this is just an incredibly off-topic branch that neither belongs in Guru, nor in this thread. I wish that we would all respect each other, and share ideas to further the knowledge of the Guild Wars community. Please do not dirty the value of this sharing with rather unproved attempts to sully the reputation of another member. Such things -- even if they are as unproved and unmerited as this -- should be kept off these forums and in the private sanctum of communication.
Thank you,
Aria
