Guild Wars elementalist builds

Most of you know I'm basically obsessed with Guild Wars. I play it at least every other day. So today I thought I would share with you my builds and how to effectively use them.

I found some of these online @ GuildWiki and PvXwiki, however I've modified them to my liking. To be 100% effective with these builds you should do the 2 attribute quests in Prophecies so you have all 200 points.

Elementalist/Mesmer- Earth Solo Farmer


This build is used to farm trolls, griffons, and other melee based attackers.

Skills:
Whirlwind: Air Magic
Crystal Wave: Earth Magic
Armor of Earth: Earth Magic
Kinetic Armor: Earth Magic
Earth or Elemental Attunement: Earth Magic

Aura Restoration: Energy Storage
Ward Against Melee: Earth Magic

Aftershock: Earth Magic


Notes:
Keep up Kinetic Armor at all costs. When combined with Armor of Earth and max armor you will have over 200 armor! Aura of Restoration can help keep that in play.

Pay attention to
Aura Restoration, Elemental Attunement, and Armor of Earth. You'll need to recast these every minute or so.

Ele/Mes- Fire Echo Builds

Echo Burner:


Echo Nuker:



Skills:
Mark of Rodgort: Fire Magic
Fire Attunement: Fire Magic
Fireball: Fire Magic
Glyph of Lesser Energy: Energy Storage
Elemental Attunement: Fire Magic
Aura Restoration: Energy Storage
Rodgort's Invocation: Fire Magic
Arcane Echo:
Non-Attribute Mesmer

Notes:
I'm a closet pyro, so this build gets me excited. Its very close to my echo nuker build, which I also LOVE.
There are a lot of variables to this build, best decided when you know what you are fighting and where, but the fact still remains, this build is hot. The main purpose of this build is to echo chain your heavy hitting fire spells. The burner build has 2 attunment spells so as long as you keep those up you will never run out of energy. The nuker build is a bit more tricky when it comes to energy management but casting Glyph of Lesser Energy at the right place and time will take care of that issue.

To echo a spell

  1. Cast Echo.
  2. Cast the spell you wish to copy (Echo becomes that spell). Personally I would cast Rodgort's Invocation or Meteor Shower.
  3. Cast Arcane Echo.
  4. Use the copy of the spell stored in Echo. (You have now cast the desired spell for the second time, and Arcane Echo will become a copy of the spell.)
  5. Cast Glyph of Lesser Energy
  6. Finally, cast the copy stored in Arcane Echo. (By this time, it is possible that the original spell may have even recharged, allowing you to use it a fourth time.)

Some Star Wars Trivia- Revenge of the Jedi and The Jedi Code

REVENGE OF THE JEDI

Did you know that George Lucas had intended for "Return of the Jedi" to be named "Revenge of the Jedi?" Thats right! After a limited amount of merchandise and memorabilia had been produced he decided that "Revenge" was not a Jedi attribute and changed one word in the title to "Return." As my second favorite installment of the star wars saga and as a Star Wars nerd I full heartedly agree. "Revenge of the Sith" made its debut 22 years later completing the saga and filling in a few questions related to the jedi code.



Do you notice something interesting about this poster? (besides the title of course.) Take a good look at the color of the lightsabers and who is holding them. Interesting, no?

THE JEDI CODE
There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no chaos: there is harmony
There is no death; there is the Force.

The code was the focus of meditations on the Force by the Jedi Master Oden-Urr, a veteran of The Great Hyperspace Wars, which I will blog about for you on another date.

During the restructuring of the Jedi Order after the fall of the Empire, Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker rewrote the jedi code for the newer generation of Jedi. The code kept the same core beliefs as the millennia old code, rewritten for better understanding.

Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attack others.
Jedi respect all life, in any form.
Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

In this clip we see Anikan stray from the Jedi Code. “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” -Yoda

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code

Well, here I go. Myspace drama is starting to tick me off more than usual so I figured I'd get into this whole blogging deal myself. On this page I'll be ranting and raving about all things nerdy. Most of you that know me, know that I love gaming, anime, computers, and music. So, as a nerd in all 4 of those aspects, I will be updating you and giving you my opinion on certain subjects that you probably don't care about. And occasionally I will throw in a blog or two about my wonderful and precious family, but I'll save most of that for the family blog which is linked to your right.

And I will always leave you with something amazing or funny or ridiculously nerdy. So here it is:
