Accountability

'ello,

They say when you undergo something it's best to have someone mocking you publicly have someone to keep you accountable, as such here's a link to my HoM account in case anyone wants to track how I'm doing.

I did have an amazing experience last night, shortly after I took this screenshot:

I was visited by a strange Aztec squirrel god and he told me how I could get all the elite skills and armor sets for the entire game.  All I had to do was construct a giant stone pyramid in my backyard, collect the tears of 1000 angry nerds, then offer them up over a ceremonial flame fueled by energy drinks and bleach.

Seriously though, I'm powering through the Asura portion of EoTN right now, and dealing with all those frost elementals as a MM build is proving challenging.  I'm looking to perhaps switch things up in hopes of being more effective. It's a strange and exciting adventure looking for builds/templates. When you consider the last expansion came out in '07, what constitutes as "the latest build"?

Preparing for the Inevitable

'ello,

I am Professor Screwtape, I'll be co-authoring this blog and therefore a party to the ensuing madness that is to become GW2.

As we've begun to see the groundswell of data at last for GW2 I was forced to pause and recollect of my previous adventures in GW1. 

Looking back I'm shocked to see how little I actually accomplished. Although to be fair at the time I experienced the world through a satellite connection, so "crap colored glasses with tinting made of suck" if you will.

(Look at him, I'm pretty sure I can see dust on his shoulders) 

In light of this I've set out to amend the grievous wrong:

The goal is to complete a minimum of 30 points in the HoM before either GW2 hits, or I get a beta and forever sucked in. This space and you (un)fortunate readers will be witness to my striving and observations along the way.


I'll be following a rough plan pulled from sources much more knowledgeable then myself.

Those of you who have accomplished this feat, any insight you can share will be most welcome. 

And so with this final line I transition "from dreamy aspiration to laborious doing."
