Who Am I?

http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~ecoon/Play5.jpg Long time Diablo II player, short time Guild Wars player. Basiner.

That said, I've mostly stopped playing D2, with the exception of a weekly group game. I have no current ladder characters. In these kinds of games, I really enjoy planning build ideas, and can still be found tweaking barbarian and sorceress builds on The Amazon Basin D2 Forums. I'm also the senior (by which I mean less useful) moderator of the Barbarian Room. I play only hardcore PvE characters, mainly Paladins, Barbarians, Sorceresses, and Assassins.

In Guild Wars, I've found a new friend and slipped into what feels like an old family. I'm still learning the nuances of the game -- execution, observation, and anticipation are much more intense in Guild Wars, while planning and selection are less so. Lyne, Coelstan, and others forced me to try my hand at PvP, and I've had a blast doing it. At the moment, GvG has me enthralled, and I'm slowly coming to understand the tactics and skills necessary (even if my execution of those are less than spectacular). I've also been running through the various chapters, completing each one with a native toon.

A smattering of my favorite toons... (Note to Arena-Net... while "Coon" may be (at times) a racial slur, it's also a last name! Hence no GW CoonerTheReds... grrr.)

Guild Wars

Morello Le Rouge

Elonian Dervish (PvE)

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... Stats: Titles: Protector of Elona Spearmarshal (9/10, Sunspear) Mighty Lightbringer (4/10, Lightbringer) Common Builds: Avatar of Balthazar 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... Runner: Stolen shamelessly from Alphabet, this runner does quite nicely. Hammer Dervish: Sometimes a gal just wants to lay down a little smacking.
