Ruby.png Hello, and nice to meet you![edit]

You probably know me for the cartography mod or have seen my edits on the wiki.

I am a french player that enjoys exploring and build-making. I like to help players as well using my extensive knowledge of the game.

Guild Wars is (probably) my most played game. My first character was an Elementalist/Necromancer using Blood Magic. Since then I have dabbled with all professions, although I keep coming back to necromancer, mesmer, warrior and ranger.

Feel free to say hello ingame or leave a message on my Talk page.

Have a good day,

Ruine Eternelle


P.S. : I use a second account for pre-Searing purposes with the following characters : For The Empire (W, lvl19 perma pre), I Am A Rooster (N, lvl19 perma pre), Coach Elvis (P, has Heroic Refrain), Turn Exp Share Off (R), Ruine To The Rescue (Mo), Ruine Is Insane (Ele, lvl19 perma pre), Ruine Is Back (Me, lvl15 pre), Intruien Eldar (N), Ruine Mindmaster (Me).

Arenanet[edit]

Seriously, you crazy


Feedback#Some_remaining_issues Update
  • The new monk elite skill [...] could use a reduced recharge (7s for instance) and reward primary monks more, dealing 15...43...50 holy damage instead of the current 15...19...20.
  • The elementalist elite skill is also fairly weak. The effects are simply not good enough for the cost. 20...52...60% casting+recharge time wouldn't make it too strong [...]
  • Heroic Refrain is incredibly strong. +5/6 attribute rank to everyone is too much. But from a practical perspective the player will just cast it on all party members at the beginning of the map then maintain it with "They're on Fire!" and never use it again. So 15s recharge means waiting for 120s for 8-people teams, at least 5s would be only 40s.

Monk

  • Reduced the cooldown of Judgment Strike to 8.
  • Increased the damage bonus of Judgement Strike to 13..30.

Elementalist

Paragon

  • Decreased the attribute bonus of Heroic Refrain to 1..3.
  • Reduced the cooldown of Heroic Refrain to 10.

Some things that make me angry[edit]

  • In the GW store, the Igneous Summoning Stone (for the Fire Imp) is at the same price as a bundle with the stone and bonus weapons.
  • Charmable animals move too often and their idle animation is never seen. Charmed moas notably move every 1.5s, and their two idle animations (pecking and extending neck) are always canceled midway (these animation can only be seen on wild moas or with a mysterious tonic).
  • Overcast should have accelerating removal when out of combat, similarly to health regeneration.
  • Nature Rituals die too fast in PvE (let them be at a higher level, which is to have more health or more armor).
  • A few weapon skins are "exotic" PvP-reward only, most notably the Greater Etched Sword.
    • If I understand well there is a glitch where you can use the mission pack weapons and change their skin with tolkano, but that would still require 600 silver zaishen coins to use Exotic skins... coins which should be about 2k/ea.
  • No tome merchant. Zaishen guys, sure, but they are ripping you off (silver zaishen coin is worth 2k+, so it's cheaper to buy from the skill trainer and even cheaper buying tomes from players).
  • The AI doesn't recognize Soul Taker as health sacrifice skills for the purpose of Dark Aura.
    • Dark Aura has health cost that is better assumed by a backline or midline character than the Soul Taker user, squishy necromancer with already health sacrifice from Soul Taker. In addition, Dark Aura at 16 DM requires a superior rune, which incurs a -75hp handicap, again better assumed by a supporting hero. Also if Dark Aura is on another character you free a skill slot, casting time, and attribute points to invest elsewhere, for instance a shield req or protection skills.
    • You may trick the AI by bringing other skills with health sacrifice, but this costs a skill slot, and the AI still prioritizes ritualists using Spirit Light and necromancers using Enfeebling Blood.
  • Ice Imps are not vulnerable to fire damage.

Some skills and skill updates I'd like to see[edit]

Serious[edit]

  • Master of Magic returning more energy on spells.
    • The skill currently returns only 1,2,4 energy on 5, 10 and 15-cost spells respectively, so dedicated skills for energy management are required. This causes skillbar compression issues.
  • Over The Limit increasing your level.
    • This would play well with the "over the limit" idea.
    • Level increase directly translates to damage bonus on spells in GW.
    • WoodenPotatoes made the suggestion that the skill should reduce overcast instead of building it, which sounds like an interesting idea too
    • The skill is pretty bad currently.
  • New skill "Auramancy" : Elementalist enchantments recharge 66% faster and you gain 1 energy for each ally affected by one of your elementalist enchantment spells
  • New skill "Evil Pandemic" (Blood Magic Elite) : Single-targeted non-elite Necromancer spells affect nearby foes as well.

Slightly serious[edit]

  • New skill "Fated Hunters" : You and your animal companion gain a buff (life stealing, for instance) as long as you are adjacent to each other.
  • New skill "Beast Soul" : You merge with your pet (your pet disappears, you move 25% faster, attack twice, and skills that usually affect your pet affect you instead).
  • New skill "Wizard's Pride" (credit to Falconeye) : Elemental and chaos damage you deal increased by 1 for each point of overcast you have. When this enchantment ends, you lose 10 overcast.
  • New skill "Penetrating Fire" : Your elemental spells have 20...44...50% armor penetration if you are on fire.
  • New skill "One with the spirits" : You are treated as a spirit (effects affecting spirits or relying on the presence of spirits will affect or count you as a spirit accordingly, and you gain immunity to healing, hexes and conditions other than burning).
  • New skill "Better on my own" : as long as there is no spirit in earshot, your attacks and ritualist spells deal 0...16...20 more damage.
  • New skill "Bone Armor" : Target ally is treated as undead, gaining +40 armor against piercing and cold damage. The armor of bones deals piercing damage on adjacent foes whenever that ally is hit by an attack. Exploits a fresh corpse. -20 armor against blunt damage and double damage from holy damage.
  • New skill "Call to Nothingness" (Channeling Magic Hex) : Target and adjacent foes have -20 armor against your lightning damage. Foes killed while under the effects of this hex leave no corpse.
  • New skill "Ripples of Magic" : Whenever you cast a ward or a well spell, that spell is replicated for each valid target in range.
  • New skill "Dead inside" : Wells you cast are centered on you and do not require a corpse.
  • New skill "Frenzy Fire" (Energy Storage Stance) : Spells you cast activate and recharge 50% faster. you take double damage.
  • New skill "Long range" (Tactics skill ?) : Foes in the area can be attacked with melee weapons.

Not serious[edit]

  • New skill "Throw Weapon" (Tactics skill ?) : Foes in earshot can be attacked with melee weapons and take 50% more damage from your attacks. Whenever you attack with a melee weapon, you must wait 2s until you can attack again.
  • New skill "Copycat" (Illusion Magic, Elite Spell) : Summons a temporary copy of target non-boss foe.
  • New skill "Grab" (Touch Skill) : You and touched foe cannot move. Off-hand and dual hand weapons are disabled
  • New skill "Magic Trick" (Illusion Magic) : You and target foe exchange weapons.
  • New skill "Misfire" : Throw a slow moving fireball that deals 50...130...150 fire damage on impact. If no enemy is hit, a random ally takes 50...130...150 fire damage.
  • New skill "Animate Limbs" : Animate a bone minion lvl 1...5...6 for each party member suffering from Deep Wound.
  • New skill "Sadism" (Blood Magic Skill) Conditions you suffer are applied to target ally instead, and that ally also pays all health sacrifice cost of your skills. As long as that ally is under the effects of Masochism, he is healed for 1...20...25 when affected by a new condition or paying a health sacrifice cost.
  • New skill " "This is ELONA!" "(Touch Shout) : Target foe shadow steps away from you and is knocked down. If there was a hole behind him, that foe takes 10...82...100 damage and the knockdown lasts an additional second.
  • New skill "Garlic Breath" (Echo) : Nearby foes and allies with a sense of smell take 10...18...20 damage every time you use a shout or chant. Vampires and Incubi take 100 damage instead.
