Roll of Vellum.png Intro[edit]

Hello!

Nice to meet you!

You probably know me for the cartography mod. Or you saw me in pre-searing or elsewhere in game. Or you have seen my edits on the wiki.

I don't play as often as I used to, but I enjoy chatting with people. Feel free to say hello ingame or leave a message on my Talk page.

I wish you a good day,

Ruine Eternelle

Other characters I may use : For The Empire, I Am A Rooster, Coach Elvis, Turn Exp Share Off, Ruine To The Rescue, Ruine Is Insane, Ruine Is Back, Ruine Saves The Day

Feather.png Story of me, I guess[edit]

The real name is Marc, and I am french. I have a master degree in mechanical engineering and experience in software quality. I can speak a bit of german.

A few facts about me :

  • Guild Wars is my most played game.
  • My first character was an Elementalist/Necromancer using Blood Magic.
  • As a child, my parents allowed me to play only two hours a week.
    • I would mostly waste those playing on my own and thus getting lost in the maps and secondary quests.
    • I used to ride a bike all the way up a 10% slope for 1km to play the game at the closest game center.
  • "Ruine Cruelle" (and later "Ruine") comes from the RPG Golden Sun.
  • I created a guild which numbered 30 people, "The Bat Out Of Hell" [BooH].
    • Specialized in MQSC and part of "The Acid Snake" alliance, we took ownership of Cavalon once.

Arenanet[edit]

THANK YOU GUYS YOU ARE AWESOME !

Feedback Update
  • The new monk elite skill is great but it's too weak. It 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 (to see these animation the easiest way is to find a wild moa or use a mysterious tonic and get transformed into one).
  • 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 things I'd like to see[edit]

Renewing Smash and Sugar Shock on the same skill bar.

MoM's does not return enough energy (1,2,4 on 5, 10 and 15 spells resp.). Having to bring dedicated skills for energy management means less skills to benefit from MoM.

Arcane mimicry flesh golem copy.

Flesh golem with heroic refrain : level 32 (sometimes 34 with a mastery staff), and apparently HR on the minion make him deal more damage !

heroic refrain master of magic : 20 in all elemental attributes ? -> Yes !! but mechanic is a bit weird
