I've made a few very minor edits in the past, but I didn't have an account / forgot to log in. Sorry.

If you use algebra on the formula on the Experience article, you get this: Virtual level = (527600 + XP) / 15000. So my necromancer's virtual level is 1,415.

Some of my characters:



I'm currently in SwaN. I work on titles, farm, trade and sometimes just hang out in game.

Here are some builds that I like or use all the time. I borrowed most of these from GuildWiki/PvXWiki and customized them to my liking. The links are to PvXWiki generated template codes. I try to keep the most frequently used skills on the left side of the bar, under my left hand (keyboard 1-4). These builds work for me. Your Mileage May Vary.

Mo/W Shielded 55 (UW 2-man). Gear: For all situations: Use enchants before aggro. Until you are familiar with Dying Nightmare spawn patterns, always use Spell Breaker before advancing and be prepared to kill multiple Nightmare popups. For Grasping Darknesses and Bladed Aatxes: Alternate between Bonetti's Defense and Shielding Hands for damage reduction. Use Bonetti's before Healing Breeze or Spell Breaker to prevent interrupts, and for energy gain. Autoattack with Totem Axe equipped to build adrenaline. For Smite Crawlers: Do not use Bonetti's; use Shielding Hands instead, and spam Protective Spirit and Healing Breeze during Shielding's cool down period for Divine Favor heals if needed. Do not autoattack; Smites have Shield of Judgement which causes knockdown.
 * +1 Healing Prayers headpiece. Other headpieces can be substituted; adjust attributes accordingly.
 * 5 superior runes (1 for each Monk attribute and 1 duplicate).
 * Totem Axe (or equivalent).
 * Grim Cesta (knife).
 * max wand to kill Dying Nightmares.
 * Radiant Insignias are preferred.
 * Vigor and Vitae runes are not permitted.

N/Me Reckless Visage SS (UW 2-man). Gear: Use a Visage on the 55 when the 55 is tanking Grasping Darknesses. Continuously alternate Visages on the 55 when the 55 is tanking Smite Crawlers. Visages should not be necessary for fighting Bladed Aatxes, Terrorweb Dryders or Coldfire Nights. Smite kill timing: AV on the 55, Arcane, wait 5 seconds, SS, SV on the 55, echoed SS, Reckless, SoLS. Todo: Try replacing SoLS with Awaken the Blood and compare speed and energy.
 * +1 Curses headpiece with superior Curses rune.
 * a Curses staff with +20% enchantments, or...
 * Totem Axe (or equivalent), a Curses focus, and a max wand for killing Nightmares.
 * Radiant Insignias are strongly recommended.
 * Minor Blood Magic and Soul Reaping runes are optional.
 * Vigor and Vitae runes are optional.

N/Me SS Finisher (Vanq)

My vanquishing build. I run Sabway with myself as the SS, a minion bomber, a N/Rt healer, and an E/Me Searing Flames nuker with interrupts. I added Power Drain to deal with the hero's poor interrupt prioritization. I added Signet of Humility to shut down Jade Brotherhood Mesmers and other foes with annoying spammable elite skills. Todo: Try replacing Spiteful Spirit with Icy Veins or a different elite skill.
