Welcome to my user page (Twitch, YouTube)!

About me

- Been playing Guild Wars 1 since 2006 with a few short breaks
- French (baguette, omelette du fromage and stuff)
- Played mostly PvP between ~2008 and ~2012
- Started my first solo challenge as Mesmer in March 2020
- Mesmer is my favorite profession, followed by Warrior (I love interruptions and knockdowns)
- Been an ArenaNet partner since April 2026
- Been the first solo GWAMM
- My overall goal is to push the boundaries as far as possible (which is much further than I ever thought I could go!)
- I’ve done a video that describes a lot of key game mechanics, might help :) Happy to help for anything!

Want more tips?

There are some tips I did not give in my video about game mechanics. As a reward for reading my user page, please find them below:

- Knowledge is more important than execution in this game. You can click skills and be a very bad player and still accomplish great things thanks to knowledge (that might have been my case at some point but there shouldn't be any proof of that… right?)
- However, if you want to improve your gameplay, don't click skills and work your keybinds.
- You can always improve. The more you play and the more you question your gameplay, the better you'll be. Many things will only be mastered by playing.
- There will be occasions where someone will tell you accomplishing something is not possible. Don't trust them (especially if it's me) and try.
- There will be occasions where you will think accomplishing something is not possible. Don't trust yourself and try.
- Think out of the box when you're stuck.
- Don't be biased by the wealth of information this wiki has: Solo community is small and many mechanics/knowledge pieces are still hidden. Some of them might even be wrong or incomplete (including on the official Wiki). If anything looks weird to you, don't hesitate to report it for investigation (or, even better, investigate on your own!).
- Now that the game gets several updates a year, keep in mind that things that are hard today might become easier tomorrow… and vice versa.
- Be greedy. Cause greeding is the best way to learn and improve — personal take but very true imo.
- Be proud of anything you accomplish.
- Have fun!
