Brain!
Vekk is voice acted by Maurice LaMarche, the same person who did the voiceover for Brain :D :D :D :D :D :D :D --Santax (talk · contribs) 08:40, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * They should have gotten Lester Speight. --SagiusTruthbarron 04:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Na - I think LaMarche was perfect for the part. I can't imagine Vekk without his voice now! When GW:EN is released I think I'm going to do the Asura quests first just because I want to hear him :P. Andrik Of Ascalon 07:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Pinky and the Brain! Hoorah! Love the "Are you pondering what I'm pondering"? One of the things I rememeber the most about the show. Let's bring on more references. [[Image:esig2.jpg]] Eldin 14:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
I think the Pinky and the Brain part is worthy of being under the trvia section, feel free to re-word it, as my English is crap. =P Calvin 23:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

"I can kill you with my brain." probably comes from an episode in Firefly. "Also... I can kill you with my brain." ~ River Tam (Episode 11) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Rohz. ya it might have depending on who came out first


 * Hannai has a similar line. -- Gordon Ecker 06:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

"Never mess with an Asura when death is on the line!" Might be a reference to The Princess Bride, "Never mess with a Venicen when death is on the line!"? I'm not sure of the exact quote by the kidnapper during the poison drinking game though. - HeWhoIsPale 15:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

"You're my kinda stupid" is also a qoute from Firefly. maybe that should be added to the trivia section also. Heres the Dialog. Ifive 19:30, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Nandi: Captain Reynolds, it took me years to cut this piece of territory out of other men's hands, to build this business up from nothing.
 * Mal: Nandi…
 * Nandi: It's who I am, and it's my home. I'm not going anywhere.
 * Mal: Well, lady, I must say — you're my kinda stupid.

No sense having the reference to Pinky and the Brain listed twice.A concerned citizen 06:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Seriously...I think Anet needs to make some Emotes for our non-human heroes...not even Ogden dances! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:75.153.247.210.

Headgear
According to Razah's page, He, along with Vekk and Xandra have their headgear shown. However, on vekks page, it states that his headgear is not visible. I'm going to change it to state that his headgear is shown (there is something there). Feel free to revert, but give an explanation please. --70.88.161.146 19:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can see looking at his armor gallery (Vekk/Armor_gallery), that I dont think you can see his headgear with his basic armor (I could be wrong on that) but you can definatley see that as you upgrade his armor he does get a head piece that is visible --[[Image:User The Great Tomato sig.jpg|The Great Tomato]] The Great Tomato 19:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think his little "headband" thats around his ears is headgear....although I'm probably mistaken >.< 206.169.65.106 22:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

AI
I just dont understand how the AI of Vekk works. For me, he always runs up as close as he can to any mob when he runs out of energy and cant cast any spells for a while. I have him equipped with a Staff/Wand and it also meets the requirements. So its not anything wrong with that, making him not able use it. So I have to keep myself busy flagging him all the time. Any other caster Heroes always tries their best to stay at range when not using touch spells or something like that. But Vekk, for me anyway, does the very opposite. Making him veeery hard to keep alive sometimes. Its a bit annoying especially when playing HM or against more difficult mobs. And I cant get around the problem. Doesnt matter if he's set on attack of defend either. *grrr*--Tommy Mag 12:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Err first of all I hurd that flagging your heroes was gud, secondly yeah hes abit chargey but its the same with rest of offensive caster heroes. --Super  Igor [[Image:User Super Igor sig2.jpg|19px|User:Super Igor]] 13:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

try putting him on Guard instead, you can do that on the hero penal, then he'll only attack if you're on aggro ShoGunTheOne 13:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * If you say c+space into a mob and then stop near it the hero would still aggro it, even on guard the command to cast is given. --Super  Igor [[Image:User Super Igor sig2.jpg|19px|User:Super Igor]] 13:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "Guard" doesn't mean the heroes won't attack if you command them using ctrl-space. Once you hit ctrl-space the heroes would either start moving in to attack or start using a skill. To get them to cancel, you have to target them somewhere else or by moving in an opposite direction. You can't expect the computer to magically know that you want him to stop by stopping your character. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 16:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

No no no thats not what I meant att all. Im well familiar with aggro and how it works. What I mean is this scenario (often happens to me): Say that I first call a single target. No big mob groups, just a single target. Then the melee chars gets up close to the mob and often can keep aggro pretty well. Vekk, who now should stay at range and cast his spells, often immediately run up close to the mob. If I got Koss or Jora as my melee hero tanking, Vekks right up there with him/her in the face of the mob. This is not the behaviour u want from a ranged character. I never ever see Magrid The Sly or Jin do this. They always struggle to stay at range. And they do it quite well too. The reason for me reacting on it is that the other heroes and henchies does not do this at all. They do their job very very good and know their place in the group. Not Vekk thoug. Yes yes I can manage but its quite an interesting behaviour (my Vekks anyway), he just doesnt behave like he should do.--Tommy Mag 07:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. But is this only with Vekk? Have you tried the same build and same equipment on Zhed or Sousuke and see they do the same thing? I didn't notice much difference between Vekk and the other two; but then again, I don't use Vekk much, since I already decked out the other two. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 16:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Weapon size
Should this really include the note about weapons being smaller for Vekk? Weapons scale to whoever is holding them, not just Vekk. -- Kirbman 01:52, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Namesake
Any chance Vekk is named after Vexx? Vexx's people sure look a lot like asura. -- Kirbman 23:07, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
