Who here uses PvX WiKi builds?

No, because i have an imagination of my own for builds...

I have some builds of my own and some builds inspired from Wiki. I go there sometimes to see what kind of builds are going on. It can be well thought sometimes, combos i'll never think off. I try them and if I like it, i'll modify some skills or attribute points. I think that it would be too easy to use a build as it's written. Everyone plays differently and as such you should adapt it to you.

Of course I use PVXWiki builds. I may not stick with the build, but I'll certainly try it. I'm not such an idiot that I refuse to learn from other people. I'm a very good cook. That doesn't mean I don't consult recipe books or chat with other people who cook to get their ideas and input. |
There seems to be a bit of an anti wiki vibe to this thread. But I bet most of you have used a template your guildie or mate has given you? It's exactly the same thing. How many of these "original builds" have you had to put up with in PUGS! Just because its a unique build, certainly doesnt make it a good one. Likewise just because its on wiki doesnt make it bad. It's just a resource...USE IT!

The pvx.wiki is a good source of mediocre builds. I tend to check it for ideas when starting to play around with a class I'm clueless about. It's also a good way to get ideas for builds that favor the 2ndary.
It's also a good source for morons who think there's 1 good build for every class and promote that idea in groups. It makes them feel less incompetent I think.

- Healing Prayers are pretty shoddy as a whole. Kiss, Gift and LoD is about as good as it gets, the rest is crap.
- Sup Healing Prayers rune is lol-worthy.
- No condition removal as standard is very much fail.
- Rebirth. OK if you/the team is stupid, otherwise bleh.
- WoH is a pretty poor elite in and of itself.
- It suggests Breeze as an optional skill. lawl
... etc.

Wiki builds for GvG which have a higher stamp of approval are good. In most cases they reflect bars which are standardly run by good teams. The reason they get run is that they have shown themselves to be effective. As such if your faced with a choice of using a bar which you think is cool and a standard e-surge bar from wiki for example, then you are probably better off running the wiki bar.
I don't know about pve bars there.

occassionally I go there just to check for new ideas that might work with my own builds

You are all beautiful snowflakes. Your builds are supreme, as is your skill in GW. 99% of the posters in this threads seem to think so. As if it would be dishonorable to use PvXWiki as a source of inspiration.
Most people do not take the build 1:1 but change according to their preferences anyways, you can count on that.
If you think PvXWiki builds suck, no wonder, they have been made and elected by the GW players community. Even a mediocre build can serve as a source of inspiration, show you new ways of thinking or whatever. Maybe people should get over this attitude that is rampant in GW.

Occasionally look at it to see which builds are the meta so I know how to counter them.

*looks right at SoJ deadly arts sins*

Everyone on Guru s l33t, and too good to use pre-made builds...*snore*

I used to make my own builds then i got lazy, now i use PvXwiki builds.
P.S PvXwiki is bugged imo. Check out this thread.

i like to make my own builds, but i do look at PvX for cool ideas and junk. i just never use them, is all

I love creating my own builds and I've had some RA people say to me, That I got my build off wiki. To tell you the truth I've never even seen wiki builds before. ^-^ lol~

I still use the original premade builds from April 05.

PvX is baed, it's just a collection of worse versions of standard bars.
Good for trolling, bad for builds.

Could have i done it more wrong?

That's before we all realise that this game has limited synergy between classes.
...and yeah...Wiki is for people who need to look at a class in a, "New Light," or don't know how to play a class or are complete morons who want to nominate a few skills as the, "Best Skills In the Game," ala Barrage, Spoil Victor or Searing Flames.
I myself prefer muffins.

For heroes (specifically heroes of classes I've never played) yes, for my own characters (and heroes whose class I've played extensively) no. I'm not above browsing PvX for inspiration on skill combos, though.
RedNova88
I use them on occasion, albeit mainly for farming since most other builds don't seem very good for my playing style.

I check the builds now and then to get some inspiration but i'm not very pleased with what i see there...allthough i like some of the farming builds...

I've never used PvX, not even once. I've glanced at it a few time and end up disagreeing with some choices on some builds. Think about it would you give up your best build for an area? What makes you think others genuinely do?
PvX ruins the game IMO because people get dependent on other people playing the game for you. For example would you ever do a Party of 8 Assassins in THK? I have once and it was the most fun I've ever had with Guild Wars. Yet people who use PvX would never do or think of such a thing. PvX people don't take risks to have fun and ruin the game for others and themselves.

PvX is good for terrible players.
Otherwise, it's useless.

I didn't even know they existed!
But then again - I play PvE only, pretty much exclusively with H/H and I HATE HM - so my builds can be as wacky as I want them to be!
(Plus I get the farming tips from my guildies - which I RARELY take but ...)

Well I do use it sometimes for most farming builds and elite area builds... since most ask for specific builds when you go into DoA, Deep, Urgoz, ... Wonder when will they make team build for slaver's exile
It's a very interesting place... for ab I make my own though and for general pve

only time i have ever used it is to find the wtfpwn builds that will get you into HA parties... other than that.. no way
Fluim
I often take a look on pvxwiki, but i never totally copy them, but i modify them. or i base my own builds on the build listed there.

Come on, PvX is a joke, even a swear word :/
