Fire Storm.
You will probably be the one called on to body-block
passageways in arenas,
considering you have the absolute toughest armor. You will
often be the target of AoE
spells of enemy Eles to try and out -spike or -degen your
teams' monks. Try to keep
the pressure _off_ your monks. I cannot stress this
enough! Make sure they never run out of
energy! =)
===============================================================================
3a.10- Don't Call Me Crazy
These ideas are my own. Please don't claim them to be
your own, as they are
obviously not, and that is considered plagarism (ie, stealing
another's work and calling
it your own). I don't do that to you, so I expect that you return
the favor. Now, on
with the absolute crazy ideas! Feel free
Battle Tactics: As I see more PvP, I will definitely see more.
Keep checking back; I
try to update everything on Sundays.
Here's one thought for Warriors: If you are with 2 others
(making the total 3,
for you people who can't understand my writing), it _could_ be a
good idea to have
someone be the "Attack and Retreat Tank." I use this term to say
this: Have one tank
always keeping an eye on the monk. Whenever you see an enemy
attacker break through
the lines, the ART should try and head 'em off, giving the monk
time to run. An
assassin or a paragon (with a melee weapon; the spear does little
good because it is
ranged) can also do the job with ease.
Builds: Here are my ideas for strange builds that could _possibly_
turn the tide of battle.
All of my builds will follow this format:
Name-----------------------------------------------------
Profession Combination
Attribute Ranks + Bonuses (provided by runes and armor)
Equipment:
weapon(s)
recommended suit of armor
Skills
Summary, Advantages, and Disadvantages
----------------------------------------------------------
On with the builds! Please note that these are for characters w/
the max 200 attribute points
----------------------------------------------------------
Grenth's Paladin
W/N
Weapon Mastery of choice: 5 + 2 from armor + 1 from Rune
Strength: 3 + 3 from armor + 1 from Rune
Death Magic: As much as possible after above
requirements are met.
Equipment:
Weapon of choice (preferably with 15% dmg bonus while hp is
over 50%/max HP bonus)
Shield of choice with as close to max armor as possible
(dmg ^ while in stance/HP bonus)
*omit this if you are a hammer warrior!*
Choice of max Armor that gives E bonuses (gladiator armor
works wonders)
Skills:
Berserker's Stance
3 Weapon Skills of choice, none of which can be Elites
Animate Flesh Golem (Elite)
Blood of the Master
Dark Bond
Rez Signet
Summary of Build: Energy is an issue with this build,
hence the Gladiator armor, which can raise
you E to around 30! You start of with
Berserker's to help you build up adrenaline
and attack faster. After you start to get
adrenaline, you can activate your weapon
skills. For example, a Sword Warrior
might choose to go Sever Artery, Gash,
Final Thrust for a Small
spike with additional degen. There
are several different choices available, no matter
what weapon you specialize in. After a corpse is
made, quickly make a Flesh Golem (which will greatly
aid you in battle). Use Blood of the Master
if you need to heal it, otherwise, just keep fighting.
If you get in real trouble, use Dark Bond,
followed by Ctrl Clicking Endure Pain. I say to
control click because if you don't, the monk will
think you gave yourself a health boost, instead of
proportinately increasing your health. Before
battle, tell everyone what you are running, that way
the monks know
to keep you alive more than the
other tank! If you die, that rogue Flesh Golem will
tear your team
apart!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Poison (insert your weapon choice here) Warrior
W/R
Weapon mastery of choice: 11
Strength: 8 + 1 from armor + 1 from rune
Wilderness Survival: 10
Weapon: makes no real dif, though poison duration increases are
a really nice thing to have.
Shield: read first four words of the above phrase, then add,
"W/ Max Armor"
Armor: Max armor w/ E bonuses
Skills:
Berserker's Stance
Endure Pain
3 Weapon Skills of Choice (although Axe is probably the best
way to go), one an Elite that hits all adjacent
foes
Troll Unguet
Apply Poison
Rez Signet/"For Great Justice!"
Summary of Build: Energy is nowhere near as much of a
problem as the Grenth's Paladin Build. At the
beginning of battle, as the gates start to rise, use
apply poison. Run into battle and immediately jump
into the middle of everyone. Use the Elite if you want
(if you use an Axe, you can make your Elite
Eviscerate/Decapitate and use Cyclone Axe as the "Hit
all Adjacent foes" skill) to spread poison all
around, and when you get to about 80% health, use
troll unguet. You might want to use Berserker's Stance
after Unguet to make up for the dmg you missed out
on dealing while activating it (Troll Unguet). If you
wish, you may also desire to activate "For Great
Justice!" right before you use Berserker's Stance
for a
Temporary extra 100% adrenaline gain, which
probably charges up your
weapon skills. Just watch your E,
and use good judgement.
More are Coming! I promise!--------------------------------------

3a.11- No good section is complete without the Glossary
Welcome to my Glossary of all the terms used in this guide!
I hope this can help to clear any
confusions my abbreviations caused. Now, get studying! For more
information about the words to describe
skills, look it up on GuildWiki (Run search on wikipedia for guild
wars, the link is at the bottom of
the page) or look it up in the Guild Wars Manuscripts included with
the game. If you desire, drop me an
email and I will explain. Get it. Got it? Good!
Atk: Attack. A physical way of damaging an enemy. Warrior, Assassin,
Paragon, and Dervish Weaponry deals
physical damage, unless otherwise noted on the weapon's
description.
Dmg: Damage. Loss of Health recieved from an attack.
E: Energy. 'Nuff said.
HP: To those who don't know this one, I pity you. It means Hit
Points or Health Points.
Rez: Ressurection. Ressurection Signets are commonly called Rez
Signets or Rez Sigs.
Max Armor: Armor which gives you max protection, duh!
Max Dmg Weapon: Do I really need to say it? :)
Adrenal: Having to do with skills that require Adrenaline to use.
Adrenaline: A Warrior and Paragon way of using skills instead of
E usage.
For each successful hit you make
on an enemy with an atk, you gain one strike of
adrenaline.

Healing/Protection. Associated with Noobs (new
players who think they know everything), Newbs

get them to a new destination on the group
members' maps.
