These days mostly enjoy Quickness Herald, and condi Firebrand. Not given it much thought before, but seems like I really like quickness.

Didn't pay much attention to changes that affected these, but know that I should probably make a new healer as sounds like Heal Scourge, is going to be hit hard.

was surprised too, but after looking it up think was Daredevil. As I understand it, Black powder make a smoke field, doing a leap finish in a smoke field give 3 seconds of stealth, and daredevil have access to leap finisher on dodge.

Not sure I agree with most of this, though I do feel one part sounds about right and that is the part about making the classes homogenized.

Feel like heal scourge got a big hit from that with latest patch. Alacrity at a bad uptime at the cost of good reviving ability, because all other heals offer alacrity or quickness so this one must too rather than being it's own thing

Very understandable, I try out different ones too, as is fun to try out new mechanics and skills. See above that you seem interested in the Harbinger, and that's a fun one at least when I tried it around release of EOD, so that's probably a fun one.

Knoppix. Was recommended it by someone I chatted with at the time and that did not go well. This was not Knoppix's fault though, but rather me not knowing what I got into. Things worked as one would expect, the applications that were included ran without issues, but the issue came when wanted to install software. At the time didn't know anything about linux, so didn't know how to use the terminal to install software, and when trying to install new ones using exe files that didn't work for now obvious reasons. So threw that stuff out and went back to windows, and didn't touch Linux again until Ubuntu Hardy Heron which went a lot better.

This looks pretty amazing, might create an account later and test it. Takes a bit of time to load, but would imagine that's more a result of guild wars API taking it's sweet time than anything.

Question about your build as shown on your main, how come the Doubled Standards when you seem to have no banners?

Depends on the account but generally what get priority is

• one of some kind of salvaging kit
• Mistlock Sanctuary/Lily of Elon
• Arborstone ( the bill of teleporting to cantha rack up too quickly without it)
• LS4 Tome ( to just get characters who haven't been there before more than costs)
• LS3 Tome ( winterberries)
• Icebrood saga Tome ( same as LS4)
• Position Rewinder ( for those pesky JPs as I am terrible with the classes that got their own teleports)
• Invitation to the party
• Converters (too much bloodstone, dragonite and empyreal fragments)

Yeah probably I underestimated it, as only did a quick test without proper gear and just made estimate from 0% BD, as well as misunderstanding how the trait worked at the time to only thinking it triggered on F1.

Not looked too much into the July patch only thing I gathered from it was that the shades would last longer, and with that can understand increasing the duration a bit, and that likely causing it to go too far if they didn't take the other barrier sources into consideration.
