Weirdest Build You've Ever Seen
d3kst3r
Well I've seen a lot of weird builds in my time but the strangest was a W/E whos primary weapon was a wand and a flame artifact and went around casting spells like an Ele. Needless to say he ran out of mana pretty quick and was killed by me in RA.

Perhaps not as weird as it was a newbie's first try at a jack of all trades... ;P
Though, I've been thinking of how a W/E nuking build could go with the elite skill Flourish... recharges all your skills and gives you +x energy per skill recharged. I've never heard it used in a build before, and personally, I don't know why.

Well using Flourish on a W/E nuker will be weird if you think it recharges spells too!! Haha

The main problem is that all other classes have +4 energy regen whereas warrior only has +2 and can only store half as much. This way they have to rely mainly on adrenal skills. But having a W primary and E secondary to kill people using spells is like taking everything thats weak about a warrior and forcing them to be your main offense.

Weirdest build was also the worst. Full knighted w/n with Dark Bond and no minions. This was after the Dark Bond fix.

Was he fighting with a sword and using Contemplation of Purity? If so I think I know who you're talking about.

Wierdest? A W/E running firestorm, until I realised he was running hamstring too, which immediately made it into the best build ever to be run in Guild Wars.

I just got out of CA and I got on a team with a w/mo... a PURE healing w/mo. Amazingly enough the guy actually did a really good job with the heals. He was never targeted and was able to heal at his hearts content. We won about 5 matches with a couple of flawless victories and then of course I net err7. I wonder if they were able to get more wins.

the weirdest build i have seen....
o yeah i got one, i saw a wammo in RA not using mending/breeze/healing hands/glads defense/bons defense/ or any other defensive stances. i thought that was REALLY wierd

in PvE, I was in a group with an E/Mo who was fighting with a sword and a shield. No spells. o_0
premi3r
A healing warrior... which was sad because we won about 14 consecutive matches because of him. No one knew that he was another healer, since I was the main target being a monk. He even did a lot of damage to necros because he had a smiting rod!
Avarre
A Mo/W that used prot spirit/healing breeze/guardian with 550+ life and proclaims themselves a tank in highlevel zones. I'm not sure what was weirder, the fact he though he could tank (which was proven wrong very fast) or the fact that nobody challenged his declaration of tanking, not even the warrior (who had dolyak and glads def).

everytime i see a monk/ele running up to me with a sword and shield whacking away at me than casting metoer shower-> flare ->flare ->flare ->flare -> no more flare causes hes dead.
Kwisatz_Haderach
my weidest build has to be that meteor storm warrior i used last weekend in RA.
Needless to say IT actuaaly worked!!!!
I always won at least 5 games in the 5 times i used it and went to TA twice.
Stonefist guantlets make it the cheapest build in the game.

Last night, in Random Arena, I was in a cluster of 4 warriors beating on each other. We were the last 4 alive and there were 2 on each team.
2 died (1 from each team) at the exact same moment...1 of whom is the one I was beating on. For some reason, I got our life bars switched in my mind and I thought I was dead.
So there I am, getting beat on by a Hammer Wa/Mo while typing out furious questions as to why my teammate (who was actually me) was just sitting there letting the enemy attack him. after about 10-15 seconds of my teamates just shouting "KILL HIM!!!", one of them finally uses my name and 'YOU ARE ALIVE' in the same sentence.
Sure enough, I was still alive and had been beaten on for 10-20 seconds without dying this whole time. I used Gale, Sprinted, healed, and came back to axe him to death.
The moral of the story? All heal and no hammer makes Wa/Mo a dull boy. Remember to boost your weapon attribute

Seems to me that most of these builds are more like "Usless or stupid" builds, but that's probably just me.
Weirdest build I've ever seen is a Mo/R with a pet and no smiting. Whoops, I'm the one running that! (It works... sorta.... never use in PvP EVAR)

I had a W/Mo in THK who was convinced he was a monk and kept spamming "OMG Y DO I KEP RUNING OOT OF ENG"
It was rather annoying, needles to say the group wouldn't kick him and we failed.

A Wa/Mo with Gale? And Axe and Hammer? Now I'm confused.

Actually, w/e nuker CAN work. You just have to stack Elemental Attunement+Fire Attunement, and suddenly spells cost 1, 2, 3, or 5 energy instead of 5, 10, 15, or 25. Makes it much easier.
Once, I saw a w/e using fireball/storm etc. without those, but somehow he could actually cast them more than once each O.o . . .
Oh yeah, once I did a streak in CA with a blood/BM n/r on the team.

The most intriguing build I saw someone running was a healing N/Mo minion master. Creates minions to provide extra energy during combat, but focuses all of his efforts on healing the party. It isn't super efficient because of the lack of divine favor, but helps tremendously with the energy management issues (i.e. imagine having 4-5 minions going into a battle that provide 10+ energy with each death via soulreaping - nice little spikes in energy to help when your energy gets low). Can also create a well or two to help with health/energy regeneration.

Weirdest I've seen would be a 55 monk with Infuse Health. WTF? I think he just hit forums, and combined stuff at random. But someone that can afford 5 monk runes doing this...?

Maybe the guy was playing stupid... just like Necros with Blood is Power and spams it to death when he is in Random Arena.. 
I guess the weirdest build I've seen (at the time, when GW was only released for a couple of months), was this Warrior/monk holding a staff and using "Charge" as his elite skill in Random Arena (he was a running healing warrior). Amazingly it worked quite effective at the time (when the opponent had no idea what the warrior was up to). Half the time enemies were chasing the warrior (when he was easily out running them) thinking that the "monk" war must die or he'll keep healing others or something! I think that warrior was packed with Restore Life too.. it was funny and interesting to see that the build worked at the time!

I'd like to think the build I am gonna speak about, is more funny to see/watch than really wierd..it might actually be effective, if the person stands and doesn't heal lol..MAYBE in TA with 4 of them doing the same build on one target lol. BUT I've vs'd a mesmer just once in Randoms arena, whom was making use of their fast casting ability, and like a bazooka of sorts, was rapidly firing stone daggers..my guess is they had something like aura of restoration elemental attunement,mantra of recovery etc. to be able to do this, but I'm not thinking about it further lol. Just thought it was funny to see a Me/E come up to you, and spamming stone daggers like a machine gun or something with the sound "Poom poom poom poom!!!!" going off in rapid sequence lol XD.
d3kst3r
Fast cast stone dagger spammers. Gotta love them. But what I love more is putting backfire on them during the heat of battle when they're not paying attention :P

Nearly forgot. Saw a few W/Me with IW... Wonder why they even bother.

This was in one of the early missions when I was playing a monk. I think it ruins of surmia. anyway, I was a regular heal monk lvl 5 or sumtin, we had a lvl 14 w/mo, who could have solo'd it and without him we woulda been screwed. here's why: the other chars were lvl 5-6 e/ra and mo/*. But the other monk decided to go point-blank smiting with symbol of wrath. His AoE pulled the aggro off the tanking warrior every single time and he kept dying. alot. And he was the only one who died I think. Ok, I agree, that's only stupidity, not wierd. Now for the e/ra though. He was using a bow. and bow skills. no ele skills at all. In the long run (ie max lvl), expertise is much more effective for bow skills than energy storage is. Because it's designed that way. period. So he's weak in armor and less effective than he could be if he were just a freakin ra/*. I hope he figured that out before buying too many more bow skills for his ele. Oh well, atleast the w/mo got us through the mission. And at lvl 14, the w/mo out-healed me anyway. 
Like I said, he coulda solo'd it.

Well, after all those points they put into Illusion magic, they don't have enough left in Swordsmanship to deal better damage than IW :P
No worries, they'll figure out to flip their classes sooner or later :P

It's probably to give yourself better armor while still doing damage.
VGJustice
trouble is, they could do better damage by pumping their weapon stat up to 16 and dropping IW completely. Lack of energy and better options within the primary are why a W/Me IW build don't work. Besides, if you want to run IW, it's better to have 16 Illusion for IW, and you can't do that with a W/Me.
Vilaptca
I tried being a surprise Ranger. Went in as W/R, had a crap shield and sword to be my disguise, and then when the fight begins, pull out my bow and start interruping!
Sadly it didn't work too well...I ran out of energy...

Well my W/N life stealer is not exactly the greatest build of all time, but he is only for helping out my newbie friend so Grawls don't stand much of a chance no matter what I use.
flamingmarmo
weirdest i've seen that works would be a n/r that trapped was on my time and was quite effective we lasted 15ish rounds i think in CA. Lots of rubbish builds like bow and sword using warrior(not just bow for iway but to actually damage) or a w/mo that bonded everyone used blessed sig and frenzy (almost no points in prot for reduced damage), i kept him alive as boon prot but it was a bloody stupid build.
