Not a live update yet, but... I love ANet. For all of the crap they get on the forums, they really do stay in touch with what we want 80% of the time!  |

Good God. Lots of ways to get faction, now... On the upside: The Amatz Basin farming build I made now gives tremendous amounts of faction... On the downside: since Amatz Basin now gives tremendous amounts of faction... it'll be harder to farm the quarterly records  |

Finished my NM Factions book ;D | Missions Completed | Title Points/EXP Awarded | | 6 | 10000 | | 7 | 12000 | | 8 | 16000 | | 9 | 22000 | | 10 | 30000 | | 11 | 40000 |
Other notes: - Gold is also awarded - 10% of the EXP/Title award
- Points go straight to title, like other rep books; you're not going to be holding 40k K/L faction on your account if you turn one of these in
- I totally called the increment pattern on Vent while talking with Khunlin. +2, +4, +6, +8, +10... thousand. Booyah.
- Completing the mission is enough - you don't need Master's for it to count in your book! (Great for my lazy side)
I'm sure the info will be outdated by the time anyone reads this but I figured I'd share my findings.  Next, HM! =o (Except I'm sure someone will have done this by the time I get around to it tomorrow or whenever) |

Amusing. <.<; Would be a great time to bring people back into the game.
A bit sad they didn't give dervish/paragons kurzick/luxon armor though. ;_; I had hoped.

Massive update... I think I just wet myself.
If the new Hundred Blades works with Whirlwind Attack, Mark of Pain and EBSoH in PvE, that's gonna be the most bestest new build ever.

Yeah, it looks shiny Glad they're trying to add new functionality. Like Ray of Judgment! I might just use it for Gates of Kryta! Wheee! And Life Sheath! How awesome is that?! Now I don't have to be so annoyed at Mantids while vanqing! |

I just had a stroke (of genius and brilliance)! The best thing about this update... Symbols of Inspiration... it allows you to copy target foe's elite and use it with your Fast Cast attribute. Now, that's awesome on its own, but I just realized how EPIC it will be in splits. Stealing the enemy split monk's WoH? I mean, seriously. That's a victory in a box right there. I smell the comeback of my awesome R/D's and Me/A's condition build |

Oh wow... so much for my ritualist runner. I guess that decision was just made for me by Anet.  Back to work on my monk. The funny thing... they're trying to encourage splitting.

Decreased warrior stance durations! Hurray! I'm sure that'll keep people from using them, or maybe they'll just end up bringing more  Also, my beautiful Primal! I can't spam you unnecessarily if your recharge is increased so  |
