Best class for grinding RA? - Guild Wars Forums

Dlent Seltra · Aug 24, 2011, 01:36 PM // 13:36

I enjoy RA playing as any class and any role, but I also like winning and want the title for my HoM. I'm pretty new to the game, but I want to learn whatever class/role I can use to carry my team to victory consistently.

On a slightly unrelated note, if I send some armor from my PvE character to my PvP character, would using the PvP equipment tab to create new armor while I have my PvE armor on accidentally destroy my PvE armor?

Thanks!

I'm not one for PvP, usually just ranger in RA. As for armor though, all armor is customized to the character it was made for so you can't switch it between characters. Armor made in the pvp equipment tab is max and runes are free (once you have them unlocked) so there really isn't a need to switch armor to a pvp character anyway.

To answer your first question, Monk is the easiest class to carry your team with.

This is just from my own personal experience, playing RA with all types of melee/ranged and caster professions, monking or rit healer.

I thought monk would be the easiest profession to farm glads, as then at least your team always has a monk, something which a lot of people will tell is required for success. It doesn't always work that way, sometimes you'll face no monk teams with massive damage and your team can't handle it, or the other team has a monk and better players.

No matter which profession I try, I always get longer runs and more 25 win streaks on my ritualist, bringing 5 damage skills a rez and two help-your-team-mates skills. If you don't get a monk at least you have 4 damage dealers to push through kills quickly and a BIT of team based aid, and if you do get a monk, you can still be a damage dealer but lend a hand to your monk if they get in trouble or are not very good.

If you can do the same on other professions great, but I find the spread of skill types for a rit can give the best results, for me, from personal experience.
My main character profession is warrior btw, I'm just letting you know what works best for me.

/Random/ Arenas. There's different opinions for what class is best but it's honestly what you want to play. I have friends who are convinced monk is the greatest thing ever in RA but I get more glad points playing a ranger.

Play something you like and you're good at and the glad points will come. Learn how to be useful on whatever profession you want to play.
