[edit] What a Circus...

Alright then, so this page is under way! Finally, first some thanks. Thank you to "User:Rainith" for allowing me the use of these awesome user boxes. It takes time and effort, so if you like them, go to his "User talk:Rainith/Test " and show him some love.

[edit] The Gallery

Ok, so now that is out of the way, let us look at the characters I play, and some of my "builds" that I use.

[edit] Carnival King

The Carnival King is my "flagship" character, and the one I spend the most time playing. Each and every character I make is a reflection of me in some regards, and I love playing the Mesmer above all else. One of the sad things I noticed when I was watching the demos my freinds played was how whiny and annoying high-level Mesmers were. Always complaining, always unhappy about a lack of skill focus and being "forced to using the same three skills." I promised myself I would try and make Mesmers an important class again, and prove that you can do so much more than "Backfire, Power Spike, Phantasm".

He was built to be a "Punishment Mesmer", focusing on immediate reprecussions against enemy abilities. Here is an example of my current skill list. Please note that while the Carnival King is a Mesmer/Ranger, no ranger skills are taken. Hench, this skill list can be used by pure Mesmers to great effect. Also note that a vast majority of these skills are only truly useful in a PvE environment, so results may vary in PvP.

Mesmer / Any	Attribute Rank
Domination Magic	12 + 1 + 3
Illusion Magic	12
Fast Casting	3

Empathy

Backfire

Spiritual Pain

Power Spike

Cry of Frustration

Overload

Web of Disruption

Ineptitude

Now, I know what you are thinking: "Backfire and Power Spike? I thought you were tring to get away from them!" The truth is, Backfire is just too important not to take, and Power Spike is just there as a secondery interrupt. I'll work on changing that out at some other point.

As for equipment, I currently use a Cane of Memory and an Hanaku's Focus. Hanaku's Focus is very handy to have due to its extra Domination assistance.

[edit] Cruac King

Ever since I saw my first Flesh Golem, I knew I wanted to play a Minion Master. Thus I made Cruac King: A Ritualist Necromancer for Factions.

Ritualist / Necromancer	Attribute Rank
Restoration Magic	12 + 1
Death Magic	12
Spawning Power	3

Bitter Chill

Deathly Swarm

Putrid Explosion

Recuperation

Mend Body and Soul

Flesh of My Flesh

Animate Shambling Horror

Animate Flesh Golem

The idea on this was not so much to create a lot of minions, but a steady flow of smaller minions (created by the Shambling Horrors) and use the level 21 Flesh Golem as a mini-fighter henchen while I cast lots of death spells.

As I started to play and grow more experienced, I realised i needed two types of build, just in case someone was, for example, a MM already. So, I created a moderate Spirit Build.

Ritualist / Any	Attribute Rank
Restoration Magic	12 + 1 + 3
Communing	12
Spawning Power	3

Draw Spirit

Union

Recuperation

Pain

Bloodsong

Mend Body and Soul

Flesh of My Flesh

Soul Twisting

[edit] Cherubim King

Nicknamed "The Sunblessed Soldier", Cherubim King is a pleasent change. With two casters under me, I thought I needed a melee fighter. After seeing Paragons in the beta of Nightfall, and reading that they had the same armour benefits as Warriors, I made up my mind.

This is an experimental Swordsman Build that I am playing about with.

Paragon / Warrior	Attribute Rank
Swordsmanship	12
Tactics	(number to be added)
Leadership	9 + 1

Barbarous Slice

Sun and Moon Slash

Savage Slash

Anthem of Flame

"Make Your Time!"

"Watch Yourself!"

"Shields Up!"

Soldier's Fury
