 | 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.

-[[http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~ecoon/Play5.jpg]]
+Long time Guild Wars player, former Diablo II player, currently Guild Wars 2 addict.  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 [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/ 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.
+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.
-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.  I've finished my goal of finishing each chapter with a native toon -- an ellie/mesmer through Prophecies, a necro/* through Factions, and a dervish/* through Nightfall.  Lyne, Ceolstan, 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).  Lately I've been leading a [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/gw/forums/index.php?showtopic=9143 Team-Based GvG Event] that has done very well.  I'm also moderating the PvP forums, along with [[User:Eddietheman|Eddietheman]].
+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.
