[edit] I Farm, Need a Buyer

I farm Feathers and D Cores. If you need either of these (Feathers are used in cons, Cores for gloves, obviously) then let me know and I'll sell to you. Just drop a note on my talk page with your IGN. I'm also working on a couple of ways to get Superior Carvings and a few other supplies.

[edit] I Like These Headers

Cause they are fun.

[edit] Hey, look here!

I CAN MAKE A DECENT BUILD WITH ANY ELITE IN THE GAME. DON'T THINK SO? I CHALLENGE YOU TO NAME ONE ELITE SKILL THAT I CAN'T MAKE USE OF.

[edit] General Information About Me and My Guild Wars Experience, As Indicated By This Quite Long Header

Flesh And Faith is a Monk, the first permanent Character I made. It is worth noting that I first had a Necromancer named Second Law. If you hadn't figured out by now, my other Usernames include Secondlaw. I carried it over from Diablo 2.

My name is Derek, I am from Dallas, Texas, but I am currently studying in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, because I hated not being able to spell my town name.

[edit] My characters(In order of conception) And Some Stuff About Them

Flesh And Faith - Mo

  • The name comes from Halo2. I didn't actually like Halo2 all that much, but the phrase came to me, and seemed appropriate.
  • Since he was one of my first, I made him thinking he could be just as mean as a warrior primary. He used a sword and smiting prayers (with a few heals) until the Crystal Desert.
  • I have since made several builds for him to return to being a Mo/W, with a sword and everything.
  • He has a mixture of armors including Elite Judge's Pants, Dragon arm and foot tats, and Tyrian top.
  • His Displayed armor will be Elite Sunspear (when I get around to farming again).

Old Tancred - W

  • Name comes from Diablo 2, it was a low level Set. Tancred, however, is named after a dude who was big in the crusades. Interesting, no?
  • He has more necromancer skills than my necromancer(not really, but close). I made him to be survivable like a Wammo, but wanted to keep his damage up, so I used Lifestealing.
  • He wears a Norn Strength set, and an Ancient Tactics set for armor.
  • He was the first character to get a Green item (The Bludgeoner)

H E X Prophet - R

  • My first Diablo 2 clan was called HEX. Figure Go.
  • She was the only class not deleted and remade.
  • She wears Norn armor, and has too many bows for my to keep up with.

Second Law - Rt

  • My old name. Comes from Deuteronomy. Look it up. The Old Testament was harsh and awesome, not like its hippy younger brother.
  • She wears Elite Luxon Armor (bikinis are hawt) and has Imperial armor modded for certain builds (the full armor is hawt too, but how?)

Lilith Azurestone - E

  • Lilith from Lilitu, the first wife of Adam. Azurestone cause it sounds cool.
  • She wears a combination of Deldrimor gloves, boots and leggings, and a sunspear bikini top (bikinis man). Her displayed set will be Monument (when I get off my lazy tush and earn some faction).
  • She almost NEVER runs a single element build. The few exceptions are mostly for farming.

Dream No Evil - Me

  • See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. Mesmers are kind of like that, I think.
  • She uses Kurzick regular armor (leather and fur. Sexier than bikinis) and Elite Canthan armor (At least the skirt is shorter than a Paragon's)

Jing Jack - N

  • Actually, Jing Jack is a Core monster from Magi Nation. He looks really cool and rather sinister, since he is essentially a Jack in the Box. Evil Clown in a box.
  • He wore regular Luxon armor for the LONGEST time. He now wears Asuran armor (cause the two are sooo different).

Sly Genesis - A

  • Sly, because that's what assassins are. Genesis, because it was the first factions character I made (then deleted, then remade with the same name)
  • She uses Asuran armor for farming. I originally wanted it for regular stuff, but when I got taken in by a farming alliance, they made me change it. Now I'm gonna have to farm for a different set and some Perfect Salvage kits ;)

Derek Michael - P

  • My first and middle names.
  • I make him fight with a sword more often than a spear, cause I need adrenaline and spears miss a lot.
  • He wears Obsidian Armor, cause anything else looks so stupid. I considered the Primeval... but meh, Obsidian is much coolah.

Theodoric Vom Krieg - D

  • The root name from Derek is Theodoric. Vom Krieg is my attempt to annoy German speakers.
  • He wears very boring armor. Probably sunspear, or something plain like that. I'm working on getting him a Deldrimor chest plate. Then his displayed set will probably be Primeval or Vabbian. I'm leaning more towards Vabbian. Primeval is just too common.

Hel Grimful - pre-searing N

  • Hel = Goddess of Death in Norse Mythology (of course you already knew that, dork). Grimful? Sounds cool.
  • Nothing to say, she's going to be in Pre-Searing until she has enough goodies to transfer (and probably a 1 year BDay present).

Mhenlo Is A Pimp - PvP

  • Cause he is. Mhenlo has boinked every female NPC in Guild Wars, and will have an uncountable amount of offspring in GW2.
  • Like, seriously, look at the guy.
  • His face says, "Hi. We've never met, but I will show you the best night(s) of your life."
  • And he's rich.
  • And he's a monk. Healing hands, ladies? Healing Touch, ladies? How about some Heaven's Delight, ladies? I swing like Balthazar's Pendulum, ladies.


I am now the leader of my own guild, Save The Drama For Yo [Mama]. I'm not recruiting, but I accept anyone who is relaxed, calm, chilled, easy, and/or laid back. We are an all around guild (I say we, but so far it is just me, since i don't recruit) and we can do anything our members want to do. My alliance is cool though. They farm and make me rich in exchange for a few stacks of feathers.


[edit] Some stuff about my play style:

I refuse to run gimmick builds taken from PvX wiki. I refuse to run flavor of the month builds. I refuse to conform to the builds and elites pugs and other expect me to run. My builds are creative, and while maybe not as efficient as everyone and their hero's WoH and HB builds, mine are unique to my play style.

My new favorite Monk elite is Glimmer of Light. I don't understand why I like it... It's just so simple. It's plain, but not common. I like how fast it is.

My new favorite Warrior elite is Dwarven Battle Stance. Swing wildly and stop people, all the while building up adrenaline for a chain of attacks. Glorious.

My favorite Ranger elite is still Glass Arrows. Conjure lightning, shocking bow, glass arrows, interrupts. Damage and utility, with the beautifully acrid smell of burnt flesh.

My new favorite Ritualist elite is Signet of Spirits (PvE). Have you met my friends?

My new favorite Elementalist elite is Glyph of Energy. Combine with Earthquake and Dragon Stomp, throw in one or two RoJ hero monks. Revel.

My favorite Mesmer elite is STILL Power Block. Oh my god, yes. Still my favorite. It's so... sadistic and cruel. Perfect for mesmers.

My new favorite Necro elite is Toxic Chill. Sure, some people think its overrated, but I like my build that I run with it. Concise Description of said build: You explode to death from the inside.

My new favorite Assassin elite is Way of the Empty Palm. Black Spider, Twisting Fangs, Golden phoenix, Blades of Steel. You alive? Thought not.

My favorite Paragon elite is Still, sigh, Soldier's Fury. I find myself somewhat let down by other elites. But with this, I can fuel my really heavy shouts (like Save Yourself) and use the extra adrenaline to fuel my adrenal shouts, thereby increasing my energy gain via Leadership. It's a stretch, but meh, I like it.

My favorite Dervish elite is STILL Avatar of Lyssa. For X seconds, you deal an extra Ton...Ton...Ton of damage to foes with skillbars. (No effect if foe is afk).

What else can I tell you?

[edit] How about Why I Think Codex Arena Promotes Fascism

Codex Arena was created to get rid of the bullpoop in Team Arenas. Everyone ran one of three builds, and the 12 regulars there got tired of it. So they, the developers (who I will give credit to because they actually did something about it), shut it down and made Codex. The idea was, with limited skills, you could not run the same build every damn day, effectively lowering the fun factor down to 0.

The problem is, you get a different Meta every day. People tell you what build to run based on the "build of the day" mentality. It is the exact same as TA. The only difference is you have to run the flavor of the day, rather than the flavor of the month/year. You must conform to run a certain build, even if yours works better for you and your team. You are not allowed to break the meta, not if you want in a group.

I suppose you could find a guild or alliance group. That would work. Unless your alliance is PvE only, or composed of douchebags who support, blindly, the meta.

[edit] A List of Paragon Shout's You'll Never See Implemented

  • "Taste the Rainbow!" Shout. Target foe takes 15 damage for each different profession in your party.
  • "Oh Yeah!" Shout. You move 100% faster and break down walls. This skill ends when your allies' thirst is quenched.
  • "Freedom!" Shout. Sacrifice your remaining HP. All party members deal 100% more damage with attacks. This skill never ends.
  • "Get to the Choppa!" Shout. All allies within earshot get to the choppa.
  • "I Am Iron Man!" Shout. All damage you receive is reduced to zero.
  • "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Shout. 20 minute activation time. For 5 minutes, your power level is over 9000.
  • "Noooooooooo!" Shout. For 5 seconds, it seems in your anger, you killed Padme.
