The image you recently uploaded (Image:Blade rose.jpg) does not comply with the Guild Wars Wiki image naming policy and has been tagged for deletion. Please feel free to re-upload the image under a correct name. Thanks, — Rapta (talk|contribs) 00:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

same goes for Image:QuintusAntonious.jpg. you must upload your own pictures at [[Image:User Barinthus <image name>.jpg/png/gif/...]] - Y0_ich_halt 21:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

supposing it's your image. since User:QuintusAntonious is using it, is that another account of yours? - Y0_ich_halt 21:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Uh-oh did I make a oopsey? Quintus asked me to help set up his page for him, I hope that's ok? Do let me know if I did something I shouldn't have. Barinthus 15:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

well, you're not supposed to edit other user's pages. especially if you create one, that looks like it's another account of yours, which is not allowed. helping your friend is ok as long as you upload pictures at [[Image:User <username> <imagename>.jpg/..]] and add {{user image}} to the description. - Y0_ich_halt 15:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok I'm stupid today. I'm to upload it under my username, my imagename then add to description his user image? Barinthus 15:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

no, you add "{{user image}}" to the user description to tag the image as a user image. licensing and stuff. and you upload it under the username to which the image belongs. example: Image:User Y0_ich_halt Companionship.jpg (that's a skill icon i changed with paint for one of my userboxes). - Y0_ich_halt 15:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks and appreciate your time. I'm still new to this and don't want to be a hassle or a pain for the community. Any further feedback/suggestion/input are more than welcome Barinthus 15:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

well, you can find everything you're not allowed to do at GWW:POLICY :) - Y0_ich_halt 16:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Quintus Antonious

Please make sure to edit the right user page, atm there's three different versions. Your friend (I assume he/she is your friend) has registered under the name User:QuintusAntonious, so the user page needs to be there. - anja 21:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your help but however there is a reason for moving. QuintusAntonious is a typo - his name is Quintus Antonius. He is one of main moderators on guildwars.incgamers.com - his name can be verified there. Barinthus 23:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what his real name is if he haven't registered with the correct name. As of now, only the account "QuintusAntonious" is registered. If he wants his user page on any other name, he has to register that name. - anja 07:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for letting me know. Will advice him regarding this. Barinthus 07:51, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Your user pages

I have moved your friends page to User:Barinthus/Friends. All user pages need to go into your user space with is as a subpage of "User:Barinthus". -- ab.er.rant 05:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Didn't realize I forgot to type in "User" - the poor head's spinning with this cold :( Anyway, appreciate it. Barinthus 05:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Get well soon :) Also, could you check your formatting on your tabs? I would think it's preventing the individual "[edit]" links from appearing on your talk pages. As per GWW:USER, try not to affect the normal way a talk page is used, and well, not having section edit links is probably not a good idea :) -- ab.er.rant 06:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I cannot figure out what I did wrong. Can you clarify on what you mean by section edit links? Perhaps a sample page? I think I got it now - did you mean that small cross symbol next to section title like on this page? Barinthus 07:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

What I meant is the section edit links. If you look at other talk pages, on the right on each section, there's a "[edit]" link that allows for editing only that section. Your templates (I found that it was this one: User:Barinthus/TabsTop) removed them with __NOEDITSECTION__. -- ab.er.rant 10:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah ok. I removed them because I felt they were ugly (note: the general page was based on Tribina and it's also very similar to Lemming64. Since I wish to abide by policies here, I've added them back but I cannot figure out to remove the symbol next to the plus symbol. Barinthus 18:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

You mean that arrow thingy that denotes an external link? There's a CSS class you can use to get rid of it. Something like this: User:Ab.er.rant/T/Note. -- ab.er.rant 01:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks but I cannot make head or tail out of that. In other words I dont know what to do with it. Barinthus 06:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

What you can do is remove __NOEDITSECTION__ from User:Barinthus/TabsTop (you can keep __NOTOC__) so that it no longer affects all your pages. Then, for each of your pages that you don't want to see the section edit link (the "[edit]"), you put in __NOEDITSECTION__. But don't put that in talk pages. As for getting rid of the link arrow thingy next to your +'s, you can wrap those link within a <span class="plainlinks"> and a </span>. -- ab.er.rant 08:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Worked like a charm!  :) Barinthus 01:11, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

BaR Members here! :)

Not sure whether this counts as a seperate heading; just merge it if not. Anyway a few comments on your page. The things I noticed which I think are wrong would be the scrambled MyTalk tab, a small spelling error at your Warrior's description ("Brains win battles but, by the Five Gods, I will be damned if brawns doesn't help!" doesn't should be don't I think), the userimage for I Am A Wimp is missing and you don't have a friendslist. Oh and you still need a Scythe greenie ;) Ask me if you see me online and hope I don't immediately forget 2 minutes later ~.~;;

Cool userpage :thumbsup: Akirai Annuvil 23:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Akirai! I will edit the warrior's quote - English isn't my native language so I appreciate any feedback on grammar and such. As for My Talk tab, yeah, I think it has something to do with monitor viewing size. It looks fine on my computer but it doesn't on some of others. As for I Am A Wimp - it's a slot for PvP character and I pretty much don't have a permanment PvP character. Not sure what I will do with it just yet. Maybe take it out or make up some dummy character. Friend list - I actually have one but it's not implemented into the front page yet :). And I'll love a scythe green ;) Barinthus 05:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem ;) Didn't really notice any other English mistakes or anything really. Don't forget to ask after the Green Scythe tonight (else I just know I'll forget ~.~;;). Oh and another thanks on the build-posting-thingie. Never would've figured it out myself :)Akirai Annuvil 14:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:-D Always a pleasure! Barinthus 17:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Strong Shell Sundering PvE Version Feedback

Hey I'm on the friends' list :D Awesome ;) Anyway, buildtalk: take note, it's been some time since I PvE'd ('bout a month or so), so you might wanna look at this with a bit of skeptiscism. First of all, I rarely play my Ranger as ranged DPSer. However from what I happen to know of it (being a forum stalker is ftw ;) Sundering + Penetrating is a pretty good combo. An easy way to fuel the combo is Prepared Shot, which also deals +dmg (more than body shot) and allows for energy gain (9@15 I thought). For incorporating Cracked Armor in your build, I see only two ways to easily do so: Finish him or Sundering Weapon. The latter is a rit skill in communing which has some fun offensive spirits which you might want to look into (their energy cost is reduced by Expertise which is nice) the former is a PvE skill, so you may not have access to it or it may require some grind (not sure, I never used it). For the rest, the only hing I think is worthy of note would be Troll Unguent, which although a nice selfheal is porlly not worth the 11 points in WS. To summarize I'd probably mod the bar to something like this:

Prepared Shot

Sundering Attack

Penetrating Attack

Read the Wind

Sundering Weapon

"I Am The Strongest!"

Troll Unguent

Flesh of My Flesh

may i give my opinion? that build sucks, because sundering and penetrating both suck >.> - Y0_ich_halt 18:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

To the new build suggestion, - thanks! Will check that out asap. And Yo_ich, thanks for your opinion. Any suggestions perhaps? Barinthus 01:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, tried out ur suggested builds. With the Sundering Weapon variation I got:

Sundering (17%) Hornbow of Fortitude (28)

DPS	Highest Dmg	Death Time
37	115	14 seconds
40	115	14 seconds
33	130	18 seconds

Vampric (5/-1) Shortbow of Fortitude (30)

DPS	Highest Dmg	Death Time
39	90	15 seconds
40	117	14 seconds
42	117	14 seconds

Then with Finish Him!:

Sundering (17%) Hornbow of Fortitude (28)

DPS	Highest Dmg	Death Time
41	100	14 seconds
40	115	14 seconds
40	92	16 seconds

Vampric (5/-1) Shortbow of Fortitude (30)

DPS	Highest Dmg	Death Time
45	88	13 seconds
43	132	11 seconds
52	120	11 seconds

Seems to me your suggested build with Finish Him! with vampiric bow is best? Barinthus 08:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

i suggest you use this for pve. in pve damage dealers should always deal AoE damage. and rangers the ones that are expected to interrupt key skills. - Y0_ich_halt 14:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Barrage

Distracting Shot

Savage Shot

Vigorous Spirit

Mending Touch

Natural Stride

Troll Unguent

Resurrection Signet

or if you wanna keep prepared shot:

"Finish Him!"

Natural Stride

I have an urge to "Steal" :p

Hey Barinthus (this is Elex, from the guild), I'm new to the wiki (even though I've been using/reading it for a long time, and was wondering. You have a nice user page. I don't know how to make a user page. It was recommended that I should learn by "stealing" other users wiki code/page setups to make a page, and was wondering if I could use yours. Thanks. :EDIT: Also I was wondering if you could teach me a bit, if you are "well versed" in wikicode. At least, you've got to know a lot more than I. Underated Skill 01:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Yo there. Yes definitely do feel free to use anything you find here. I'm not completely l33t but I will be happy to answer any questions or help as much as I can. Barinthus 02:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Wiki Colors Question

Hey Barinthus, I've got a question. I've seen codes for userboxes, and for the area about color (predeceded by id-c) there is always a jumble of numbers representing the color. I was wondering, how can you find out numbers/codes for the specific color you want? Underated Skill 18:57, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I used this color wheel. You may want to check this out. While searching (I lost a link so I had to look it up) I found this nice site. Well, it's amazing how I keep on finding new sites! Whew this was the link I had in mind but hey, I found few nice resources along the way :). Hope those help! Barinthus 16:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Great, its exactly what I needed! Thanks! Underated Skill 03:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

A pleasure :) Barinthus 05:42, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
