Talk:Gimmick build
From Guild Wars Wiki
This page is ridiculous. The definition here is extremely subjective, and most of these phrases should begin with "some think" and whatnot. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:71.242.187.240 (talk).
- Well, it's all player-made and non-official about the general way of happenings in PvP. It kinda has to be subjective. Calor (t) 03:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Gimmick... heh. This page is a Gimmick. Since when did a specialized build = a Gimmick?
- Any build other than a balanced build is considered a gimmick because people that run balanced get owned by it cause they aren't gud.--74.61.209.219 16:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
About HA; pretty much all builds are gimmicks there. 'Balanced' is focussing about having overkill aoe with a huge wall of defense(cuz ha peepz are bad) and a big spike. Unexist 08:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- The definition should read: 'Gimmick: any build that does not comply with the way I think the game should be played', where 'I' stands for most stuck up elitist players that think they know it all. 145.94.74.23 17:36, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
- The fact that the comment I just removed spoke of a (quote) "...gimmicky spike build..." proves that there are in fact non-gimmick spike builds. I for one consider them a valid alternative strategy. The whole term gimmick should be removed from this wiki, since it is mostly used to insult teams that play the game differently (kinda like how the word noob is abused). 145.94.74.23 18:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
i have edited a few sentences here that i felt were a bit on the bias side imo, --Metal Sazz 19:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well done. 145.94.74.23 06:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
By the way, should Sway be put as an example, it's powerful yes, but is it really a gimmick? MANY might disagree with me. But powerful =\= Gimmick imo, it's just a bunch of skills that work extremely well with each other, thats it.--Metal Sazz 23:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- If it 'abuses' something, then you might call it gimmick (like for example spamming so many spirits that the opponent has a hard time selecting targets). If not, then I suppose it is balanced. 145.94.74.23 14:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
