This page still very under construction.

Who Am I?

Long time Guild Wars player, former Diablo II player, currently Guild Wars 2 addict. Basiner.


Guild Wars 2 has been a natural fit for me, moving right in from the original. In the switch to the new game, I was also asked to step into the Basin roles of Game Council member and PvP Coordinator. This means I head up the Basin's WvW Commanders -- I help enable them to lead the Basin into battle, though I find myself doing little leading currently. I'll also help round up a structured PvP group or two at some point, though we, as a guild, haven't done much in that venue yet.

This comes after a long spell as de facto GvG organizer for GW1, where I led approximately 8 distinct groups of players in tournaments, ladder play, and weekly team groups. The 8v8 format seemed to fit me well -- it was big enough to allow tactics and organization to carry the day, while small enough to not eliminate the need for individual skill. In GW2, I find sPvP to be too duel-oriented and WvW to be too zerg oriented. That said, I enjoy both PvP venues, and also like running organized PvE, especially in hard dungeons and bigger Guild Missions and meta-events.

Want to be my friend?

  • On Guild Wars 2, my main character is Roux.
  • On Guild Wars, my main character is Morello Le Rouge.

Stats:

Titles:

  • God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals!
Morello, namesake of several old Diablo toons, is a Dervish of Dazzling Deeds. My first Guild Wars character, I chose the profession because it promised the best looking armor and the coolest weapon. A big fan of the two-hand barbarian, a whirling dervish seemed the best fit... not the world's best tank, but she can put out some serious damage. She also serves the role of runner and farmer -- the real breadwinner of my GW family.

Photos of Morello show her in Elite Sunspear Leggings, Istani Top, and Sunspear Shoes/Gloves. She is saving up for GW:EN's armor selection...

Common Builds:

  • Avatar of Dwayna Tank: test template
A standard tank with good damage... not as unkillable as a stance tank, but pretty tough.
  • Avatar of Lyssa Damage:
Some of the highest damage numbers I've ever seen come from this build... based upon Lyssa's added damage and fast-attack skills.
  • Dynamic Duo Burnin' Dervish:
Coupled with a Mark of Rodgort/SF Ellie (Zhed does well) for a Dynamic Duo
  • 130 Farmer:
Morello likes to shop. Staying at the height of fashion gets expensive...
  • 600 Dervish/Monk:
Bring along your favorite monk smiting bonder hero and cruise the Cathedral of Flames...
  • Runner:
Stolen shamelessly from Alphabet, this runner does quite nicely.
  • Hammer Dervish:
Sometimes a gal just wants to lay down a little smacking.

Amelie Le Rouge

Canthan Warrior

http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~ecoon/Play5.jpg This is my main PvP slot, a warrior with quite a few Guild Battles under her belt. She and her PvP-only predecessor have led six different Team GvG events -- GvG Teams consisting of 8 players plus alternates, playing together as a team on the same build for about two months. These teams have done quite well, competing in both Guru and RAWR Cup tourneys. She tends to play meta-friendly GvG builds, including hammer, axe, and sword bars. The hammer is her favorite weapon, and she loves nothing better than thumping monks into the dirt.

Stats:


Common Builds:

  • Warrior's Endurance:
A standard meta-game GvG Warrior, this build spews out deep wound and can spike with great regularity due to fast recharging attack skills.
  • Dev Hammer Warrior:
The standard meta hammer bar. Variants include adding Wild Throw to deal with pesky Balanced Stance monks.

Anja Le Rouge

Veronique Le Rouge

Canthan Necromancer

http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~ecoon/Play5.jpg Veronique started as a plan for a curse necro, but quickly found that all the cool curses were learned in other continents. So she changed her mind and became a vampire for most of her life -- there's nothing more fun than stealing monster life-blood. Now that she's older and wiser, she's taken advantage of the best energy management a few souls can buy, and has played the role of curse necro, ellie nuker, rit healer, 55 monk, and nearly any caster-role imaginable.

Photos of Veronique show her in her unique Kurzick/Tyrian combination armor.
