I am going to use this page to track the progress of my characters in Guild Wars. Many thanks to Karalin Taucher for the inspiration (and coding) for the template.


Characters

Dervish-icon Brother Fabian


Brother Fabian
Bio:

Brother Fabian is my most-played character (and named in honor of my first ever Guild Wars character). I am still learning how to play the Dervish and I enjoy creating fun skills bars that do not use an avatar as the elite skill. I plan to use Brother Fabian as my primary character for Eye of the North and so I have been saving money and materials to buy him new weapons and armor as soon as possible and maxing out my Balthazar faction to unlock new skills.

Armor and Equipment:
  • Vabbian Armor dyed blue+black+purple
  • Zealous Ancient Scythe of Enchanting
  • Ebon Grim Scythe of Enchanting
  • Cruel Razorclaw Scythe of Enchanting
  • Fiery Razorclaw Scythe of Enchanting
  • Icy Crenelated Scythe of Enchanting
  • Vampiric Duskblade Scythe of Fortitude
Animal Companion:

The Darkness (level 20 Dire Hyena)

Title Progression:

Favorite builds:

  • Conjure Reaper's Sweep
Conjure Flame Mystic Regeneration Heart of Fury Reaper's Sweep Mystic Sweep Eremite's Attack Resurrection Signet Conviction

I will sometimes swap out Conjure Flame for Aura of Holy Might or Conjure Frost and Reaper's Sweep for Wounding Strike.

  • Ebon Dust Aura
Mystic Regeneration Heart of Fury Ebon Dust Aura Farmer's Scythe Mystic Sweep Eremite's Attack Death Pact Signet Conviction

I load some version of this skill bar only if another human melee player is in the group. In those situations, I will usually float from the frontline to the backline picking up any enemies that break off from the main aggro. EDA works well to keep enemy melee blind and useless if they do manage to get to the softer targets in the back.

Memorable Moments:
  • Getting a max damage, require 10, +5 energy Furious Colossal Scimitar of Enchanting as a drop from the first Corsair I killed in my first time through the Dajkah Inlet challenge mission

Warrior-icon Beautiful Vengeance


""
Bio:

Beautiful Vengeance originally started out as a storage mule. When my first guild fell apart, there was a need in my usual group of friends for a melee character so I dusted her off and picked up an axe. I found I really enjoyed playing melee and stuck with her as my primary character for a long time, completing Prophecies, Factions, and most of Nightfall with her before she fell into disuse with the creation of Brother Fabian.

Paragon-icon Furious Pilum


""
Bio:

Pilum is my favourite character and paragon is by far my favourite class in Guild Wars. He's just arrived in Vabbi and I rewarded him with Vabbian armor dyed purple+yellow+yellow. He's working his way toward Rank 2 of the Survivor title but I am doing my best to earn it legitimately by playing through the game rather than farming experience.

Equipment:
  • Vabbian armor
  • Furious Windblade Spear of Fortitude
  • Fiery Windblade Spear of Defense
  • Zealous Clouded Spear of Defense
  • Vampiric Crenellated Spear of Fortitude
  • Aureate Aegis of Fortitude (Command)
  • Aureate Aegis of Fortitude (Motivation)
Animal Companion:

None - waiting to cap a mountain eagle or a hyena

Title Progression:

Survivor

Current build:

Merciless Spear Spear of Fury "Go for the Eyes!" Anthem of Weariness "Save Yourselves!" "There's Nothing to Fear!" Focused Anger Aggressive Refrain

Necromancer-icon The Dwimmerlaik


The Dwimmerlaik
Bio:

The Dwimmerlaik is a Canthan-born necromancer who I play primarily as a minion master, though I do also enjoy playing a SS-curses build. He is also my primary solo-farming character. I usually do a HM run through Wajjun Bazaar and/or Pongmei Valley with him once per day. His name is derived from a Lord of the Rings reference - it is a Rohirrim name for the Nazgul.

Armor and Equipment:
Animal Companion:

Claw (level 20 Black Moa Bird)

Title Progression:

Favorite builds:

  • Aura of the Lich Minion Master
Animate Bone Fiend Animate Vampiric Horror Blood of the Master Aura of the Lich Mark of Pain Dark Bond Death Pact Signet Signet of Lost Souls
  • 55/105 SS Farming
Protective Spirit Shield of Absorption Shielding Hands Spiteful Spirit Insidious Parasite Parasitic Bond Balthazar's Spirit Necrosis
Memorable Moments:
  • Getting 6 gold items, including a Platinum wand and a Rune of Superior Vigor, and a tattered fan in one farming run through Wajjun Bazaar
  • soloing Pongmei Valley in Hard Mode for the first time

Monk-icon Artemis Charrbane


""
Bio:

Artemis Charrbane is the oldest of my characters. He is a Prophecies-born Monk who specializes in Protection Prayers, though he can, if required, switch to the "make red bars go up" style of monking if required. He is well-equipped with a variety of staves, wands, off-hands, and other weapons. He is the first character for whom I bought "high-end" armor. He has capped all the monk elites available in the areas of the game he has explored and my goal is to cap all monk elites with him. My favourite thing to do in the game with Charrbane is monk for PUGs. Nothing beats the exhilaration of keeping a group alive and then receiving compliments from everyone and celebrating with a round of Hunter's Ale at the end of a tough mission.

Armor and Equipment:
Animal Companion:

None

Title Progression:

Favorite build:

Prot/Heal Hybrid

Reversal of Fortune Gift of Health Dismiss Condition Remove Hex Protective Spirit Shield of Deflection Aegis Glyph of Lesser Energy
Memorable Moments:
  • clearing the Northlands with a random and very helpful ranger who taught me a lot about aggro-management and positioning
  • the kind ranger who gave me my treasured Kaolin Protection Staff in Lion's Arch during the Halloween event of 2006
  • solo monking Thunderhead Keep
  • my first black dye drop in Ruins of Surmia

Ranger-icon Armando the Swift


""
Bio:

Armando is my first Elona-born character. He is a lot of fun to play, especially when running with his 3 ranger heroes (Margrid, Jin, and Zenmai) and my brother's channeling ritualist. I hope the rangers get some better-looking armor in Eye of the North, because I do not like any ranger armor other than the FoW - which I am not wasting money on even with ecto prices being as low as they are now.

Armor and Equipment:
  • Canthan Armor dyed green+brown
  • Zealous Ironwing Flatbow
  • Silencing Shortbow of Defense,
  • Vampiric Mursaat Hornbow of Fortitude
  • Zealous Azure Recurve Bow of Fortitude
  • Vampiric Feathered Flatbow of Fortitude
  • The Mindclouder
