I wanted to buy the item PVP unlock pack, but I am getting a fraud block on my cards because I am trying to purchase outside of my home country (annoying!).
How do I go about getting up to date items an all of the insignia/runes etc? I have one level 20 Warrior I only have prophecies right now.

Also I want to watch some PVP videos, where might I find them so I can pick up some good tactics ideas from them.
Look here for good guides on how to play diff profs. and look on youtube for some videos.

If you are already rather funded, go to AB / RA with a build (Preferably mind blast, bsurge, Esurge, etc) and rake in the Balthazar faction. Spend this faction on upgrades for your armor, or if you're more PvE oriented, just go buy gold items to identify. Chances are you'll be able to unlock most of what you need either way.

This, if you farm them, a great spot for runes is in boreas seabed with the halcyon job quest.

You don't need glyph on that bar.

If you're running glyph with mind blast, you suck. Use something defensive so you don't die in 10 secs with a hammer warrior realizing you're pumping more damage than the sin.

If you get a good monk and a good melee just about anything is decent in RA. This is an old build (more or less) which does ok pressure, but there are more effective ways to help your team. I suppose Meteor is a form of support, but ideally as a caster you want to have some combination of damage and support. With this build you're easy to shutdown, easy to beat on and don't offer your team any real defense.

So I found this build that kills anything in about 6 seconds if the other team has no monk, but when the other team has a monk, it really doesn't work.

It goes:

Me/N
1. Illusion of Pain
2. Fragility
3. Accumulated Pain
4. Virulence
5. Distortion
6. Rez

Last two skills are optional. Is there any way to make this work?

Nothing really ever works when there's a pro monk around, especially if your team doesn't have one. Also, rupt rangers and mesmers are a dime a dozen in RA.

Run a hammer warrior with wild throw. Lineback everything that is mildly dangerous to your team. Roll in the glads

good practice in wep swapping too, need a high energy set to pump up your reserves with mblast, then swap back to your 40/40 to pump rodgorts. Swap glyph for either balanced stance, mirage cloak, shieldbash or other stuff that will stop overzealous melees from tearing you a new poo-hole.

I would like to try my hand at monking in RA. Would the following build be OK or would a better one work for a first time monk?

healing 12+1+1
divine 10+1
wilderness 8

healing burst
patient spirit
vigourous spirit
spotless mind
cure hex
draw conditions
antidote signet
natural stride


Thanks!
