Which Profession for farming/solo? - Guild Wars Forums

Purdy · May 13, 2011, 02:27 PM // 14:27

I have been away from Guild Wars since the days off Sin farming the UW with perma shadowform and it being very easy for the full clear. Now i am back with a new fresh account and can't decide which profession will stand me in good grounds for getting into UW groups/FoW/Any other HM or challenging farms.

Thanks

You could look on pvx wiki and see which professions are used in the area's you wanna do, but assassins are still used quite alot in most speedclears.

Easy solution - visit both gwpvx and check the farming section here on guru and look and decide yourself which professions role you like/feel able to do.
Also something to consider is - is the profession going to be used if theres a nerf on the way ?.None of us want a new chr thats had skill changes and has become dropped from any sc teams.
Asking the community on which profession to use will probably give several diff answers - hence i say judge for yourself .

There are different classes and builds wanted for the various clears you mentioned, so that can't be pinned down quite so much. Assassin seems to come up a lot though.

For ordinary farming for materials, The Traveller items, etc., an SoS Rit is a common choice.

I would suggest a Rit, Spirit spammer and Vengeful Weapon builds are very reliable for farming.

Thanks guys, just going to make a Mesmer since i've never had one followed by a Ele/Necro/Ranger and Sin. It doesn't take long to get to 20 so no point focussing one so much i guess.

getting to level 20 - easy

getting all your pve skills up for a character - VERY time consuming.....
