    but really, i need support skills for my heroes mostly, for N, Rt, Me, P, and a few Mo.

    what i mostly want the D skills for, is i was trying to get a VoS spiker up for running PvE, though i really gotta learn to micro prot skills on myself better. about the VoS build though, i realized that i don't need to be using many flash enchants for it, unless i'm wanting to be constantly using and tearing off a couple to fuel things like, aura of holy might and ermites attack. for most pve though, just using VoS, sand shards and heart of fury with splinter will be pumping mad damage, then use attacks like aura slicer and radiant sythe that don't tear down enchants, and using like, balthazars aura (or whatever the derv enchant is that gives adr on end) to get some adrenaline back.

    then i was also trying to make a dwayne derv to try and facerolls stuff with and MM and whatnot.

    i must be on when everyone is asleep... either that, or none of you can get on at work.

    i think i'm going to sell off my extra minis to buy skills. i got 6 or 7 duplicates that could get me all the skills i need for my heroes.

    Embark Beach is supposed to make it easier to form up/get to mission outposts. There are also the daily Zaishen quests (mission/bounty/vanquish) given out on the signposts near the boat.

    Did anyone try making a build with 8x Ranger Pets?
    I think it might be a Viable Build.
    Since Ranger Pets has no Debuff on Death in PvE.

    I'm running into a strange bug. I decided to take a break from PvE and try some random arenas with my ranger. Except my pet isn't appearing in the arena. Any pet skill I use says that it's "too far away." This doesn't work well for a beastmaster. It can't be broken for everyone, because I saw another ranger with a crab.

    I thought that my "Charm Animal" skill wasn't getting updated for PvP, but it says "Updated for PvP" whenever I hit the outpost. I'm not sure what's going on. I've logged out and in, but it doesn't seem to have mattered.

    It's a sign to not take a beastmaster into pvp.

    Have you tried re-loading your build while in the pvp zone?

    Beastmasters get a pretty bad rap, but they're not bad. Back in the day, just with the introduction of pet controls, my old guild used to run a Beastmaster build in Tombs. 6 Beastmasters with bow and pet skills all designed for shutdown and 2 monks. With the spammability of pet skills and distracting lunge giving a +20 second cooldown, same with distracting shot, it wasn't long before the opposing team couldn't do anything at all and just died from pet and bow DPS.

    That said, just going in as a beast master solo is asking for trouble.

    What do you not have?
    DoA simultaneously maxes out lightbringer, gives destroyer weapons and/or extra money.
    Sorrow's Furnace simultaneously gives you a unique mini and a statue
    Hero armor requires a lot of Glint's Challenge runs, but is not particularly difficult. With 7 heroes you can now easily cap the black widow needed to max out the monument

    Faction Grind is best done on double weekends and/or Zaishen Quests/Bounties. Speedrunning through hard mode EoTN storyline is effective, but a bit tedious

    Working on it. There doesn't seem to be much demand for warriors, sadly.

    Already done. Black Moa Chick get.

    All my heroes are geared, black widow capped during some Underworld experimenting a month back. Yeah, this one was pretty darn easy.

    Yeah, I figured as much. Worm runs are effective, but I'd much rather do the dailies.

    What I've got (probably should have just started with this):
    http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=main&details=kJBAA8%2F%2F%2F%2FDAAQiAAgHAAEAAAACAAAAASAEIAAAAAAA

    Should be 8 titles, but I'm working on Tyrian Protector with a pal. We've got everything done cept the baby missions, so it's just a matter of running.

    I got married on Sunday!

    I thought you guys would be interested in this, mainly because I met my wife on Guild Wars several years ago, when I had just started playing. Instead of trying PvE, I jumped straight into PvP and tried the Hall of Heroes. She was spamming for a healer, and I guess I fit the bill. The rest, as they say, is history.

    History, and wedding cake.

    that is wicked awesome rend, also, congrats on the marriage.

    game related: holy chicken testicles, i'm loving dervish more and more as i dig into it. there are so many strong builds/skills it's ridonks.

    currently, i'm doing AoBalth with some enchant teardown and para hero with "They're on Fire!" i don't take much damage, my team though... they still get messed up :P i haven't really focused on them though, i'm tempted to just get the Rt and A skills i need for my ranger to do some different farms and just start hitting up factions on the derv. i need to rework the D/N orders hero and i'll be ripping it up. i think the heroes could even handle a VoS build if i don't include teardown in it.

    Fix't.

    Zinn's hideout is one of the primary justifications for my now seething hatred toward Asura. The location, the associated quests and missions, the debuff while you're there... maybe not the guy himself if they'd actually voiced him (and used Richard Horvitz)... yeah. Come Guild Wars 2, deyz'a gunna be crushes.

    I don't know if I have the tenacity to do the cartographer titles. To be honest, my focus is on nabbing 30 points for the HoM so I can get all the goodies in GW2. Hopefully I won't need those titles to pull it off.

    Thankfully, I got most of the pre level-20 arenas in prophecies with my Monk before they removed access to them, giving me a bit more leeway when I finally decided to do cartographer. Cantha was fast due to me being conscious of the cartographer title when I ran through the game the first time, meaning most of the areas I traveled through I mapped reasonably well. However, by the time I bought Nightfall, I had a lot less free time, pretty much uncovering the minimum percentage needed to beat the game. Getting two titles for completing Elonian Cartographer is really tempting, though

    I'm at 95% and change in Cantha. The big parts that are still missing are the two faction battles, FA and JQ. I don't do PvP, so I would have to join in just to map those areas, which will make me immensely popular with whomever I end up in a team at that point.

    So far I've been using a human rit spiritway, with an interrupt ranger, a WoH healer, and two searing flames elementalists. I'm mostly using this because that way I can have all my favorite heroes along.

    However, after ending up in some tenuous situations, I'm beginning to doubt spiritway a bit. The hero ritualist is a little too squishy for my own enjoyment, and if I lose the minion bomber necro at the wrong time there's all sorts of hell to pay.

    I may do that later. I've been using him as a half beastmaster to level up the pets necessary for the HoM. It's a lot nicer having an npc do it than me.
