Summary: This is my version of an all around pwn teh nubs PvE stancer. Good Dmg and Defensive skills.

There's no point in wearing more than one piece of Knight's armor.

I just like the look, isnt that the main thing in an mmorpg, is making your character look cool and still pwn teh nubz

Not if you're hardcore, and know what you're doing.

Have a similar Build. Sorry for thread hijacking.

Bonettis Defense
Gladiators Defense
Shield Stance
Cyclone axe
Retribution
Balthazars Spirit
Mending
Live Vicariously

I Very rarely take much damage and i can farm about 20 mountain trolls depending on the spawns

Easy to see how it works, easy to get working. Once you mastered the stancing sequence and coping with the -2energy its REALLY effective

Why bother using Retribution if:

A) your taking about 5 damage from them per hit, therefore transmitting about 2 back to them.
B) your using Gladiators/bonetti's defence which blocks attacks anyway.

First thing, knght's armor is not "cool" It looks very ungly compare to other armor. Fissure is the only armor that can be considered "cool", well maybe 15k glad is kinda "cool" too.

And second, knight armor does not "pwn teh nubz" glad r armor is way better than any of your joky doky armor.

and good grace, PVE cant be called "pwn teh nubz"

The only good reason i find using knight armor is the gloves for knock down. If you go for the looks, suit yourself.

M = Massive (Guild Wars is massive)
M = Multiplayer (Guild Wars has many players)
O = Online (Guild Wars is online)
RPG = Role Playing Game (Guild Wars is more of a RPG then many "RPG"s)

Guild Wars is only Massive in town. Even then, there's only like a hundred+ in a district.

Please, stick to discussion of the build. You can create a wonderful thread about the definition of a ___rpg in Riverside or another appropriate location.

As for *teh* build:

For PvE balanced (no solo,2x,3x farm build) too much d-fense IMO. U paranoid or what?

) Cant find a monk friend?? Just kidding.

You'll rarely be able to aggro that much on you doing regular 6/6 or 8/8 pve, so I think even Glads over the top, I actually prefer Warrs Endurance for some energy management and spam away flurry/cyclone to get adrenaline pumping.

But for heavy tanking, not bad at all.

Concerning Knight's armor: by looks I prefer it to Glads (matter of taste - I'm feeling rather cold there in Southern Shivs feeling like Egyptian gladiator and not truly understanding how walking around half naked gives me 80AL + 20). Stats-wise, I should not even comment on that.

I use Glads+Knights boots. Though I'm feeling like getting that 15K Plate from Granite for looks only......FOW armor...dont ask
