armor suggestions

heres my suggestions for elite armor for you guys. I'm keen to help you all get some if you're keen. can probably chip in some bucks too.

mick - maisa trueshot
either
ancient (from nightfall)asuran (eye of the north - level 5 asura title needed)caine - zahran gammel
norn - (eye of the north - level 5 norn title needed)
primeval - (nightfall)copland - the stamp
silver eagle (eye of the north - level 5 deldrimor needed)or elite sunspear (nightfall)
there are some cool factions ones too, but i liked these. the prophecies ones are funny with their insignias and stuff - note sure, but have a look anyways

Response to Ian's hero post

You should probably read Ian's post under this one for this to make any sense...

I noticed you don't have a Spiteful Spirit necro build.

Is that becuase they are the same as fire eles (all over the place) or is Spiteful Spirit covered in your 'curses' build?

Just wondering.

I like the idea. I really want to get in and clean my builds up. I have saved builds that I never use, and some that don't even have elites in them from when I just started. I'd like to have a few basic warrior builds (at least 2 for each weapon set, plus 2 non-specific builds). Added to this I'd like to have each of my heroes set up with their 'thing'... if you get me. So Dunkoro is my healer, and Tahlkora is my protection, Olias is Spiteful Spirit and Master of Whispers is Minion Master. Sort of like what you are doing but on a smaller scale. Maybe I will work on it a bit tonight while we are stuffing around.

Wow... long comment. I should have just made it a post...

hero update

so... i now have all 25 heroes (yay!)
i'm on a bit of a mission to create 1 or 2 (or more) builds for each of them - with runes etc.

tonight i completed
monks
dunkoro - healing
tahlkora - protection
ogden - smiter

eles
sousuke - water
zhed - air
vekk - earth

and
necros
master - curses
olias - healing
livia - minion master

notes...
i may give olias a blood magic superior rune for a couple more options?
i chose not to have a fire ele for several reasons - 1 - you all have good fire eles. 2 - i can basically be a fire ele. 3 - the henchie is decent, 4 - you can always find a fire ele, the others are a little more elusive at times.

9 down 16 to go

the trouble with vanquishing

had a bit of a crack at vanquishing tonight...
just out of the blue you find yourself dying 3 times, and over an hours work - gone!
i racked up about 120 kills - needed around 200. oh well...

i did manage to get my lightbringer total up to 39,996 (so close to 4/5ths of the way there) as well as score 3 sweet gold items.

i think i'm going to get my hands on some of these bad boys - powerstone of courage - removes all death penalty and 10% morale (or moral) boost for whole party. i'm sure i would have finished off this area with one.

On behalf of Mick...

Had a bit of a chat with Mick the other day. He and Sam have settled in ok, but the house has a dodgy phone connection and it will take a bit before he is online (at least 2 weeks by the sounds of it). If we go ahead I think Mick might have a hard time catching up...so we need to talk about what we want to do for a couple of weeks, maybe even a bit longer.

I have a Dervish (The Assett) who is at level 8 and I would love to put some work in getting him up to speed. And there's always Sunspear/Lightbringer farming.

My concern is that we don't just bum around for what could be anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. So have a think about it and let's do SOMETHING.

Catch you on Tuesday night (not you, Mick... obviously).

new armor for razah

i decided razah was next - man he looks funky

and in front of his monument

Last Tuesday Night

Just in case anyone was wondering, here's what Caine and I got up to on Tuesday night...

We continued with our Canthan mission, and devoted our time to the Raisu Palace mission. We had three goes at it, failing the first 2 (only just though) once getting wiped because we aggroed too many guys at once and once because Mhenlo died (idiot!).

The third time we did well and got through, however we were a minute and a half short of the Master's reward... dar!

So, this week, if you guys are back on, that would probably be a good place to start. And from there, according to my calculations, we will have 5 missions to go to complete the Factions campaign. Yay!

Catch you guys on Tuesday night!

random tip from ian

i'm predicting that there will be a major announcement in guild wars in the next month
what? i do not know... i just think somethings about to pop up
maybe more content (another expansion), maybe something gw2, maybe another sorrows sorta area, maybe more extra missions...
who knows?
we'll see

United Aussie Warriors

Hey, in case anyone is interested, there was another Aussie guild put up for Guild of the Week recently. The site is here...

Eye of the Liger

The Stamp's pet, "Liger", has made it to level 20. We are all very proud of him. Thanks must go to Sunspear/Lightbringer farming. Whne it comes to levelling up a pet, its the best way to go, in my opinion.

sorrow's furnace

well that's a blast from the past?

Upon discovering that certain "elite" missions, gave you credit in your hall of monunents, i began to rethink my priorities. OK, basically, there are lots more now.

One of the things I would like to do is complete some of the elite missions - namely sorrow's furnace (to sorrow's furnace) as well as malyx in nightfall and the EotN ones (and maybe factions too, but i hear they are insane)

anyways, something to think about. I completed the first of the 4 objects in sorrows furnace tonight - its a fed-ex quest. But the last 2 are mental apparently. Anyways, something to look at in the future maybe.

hero armor

hey all...
i feel like pretty much everything i do comes down to one thing - the Hall of Monuments.
My latest edition occurred tonight, when I upgraded Sousuke's armor.
Here he is, standing in front of the monument, with him in itI'm not sure what I'm most impressed with - the brown vest, the 3 quarter pants or the socks and sandals!
