Main character issues - Guild Wars Forums

Lettuce Leaf · Jul 31, 2010, 06:37 PM // 18:37

So I've been playing a monk (a lot) and tbh I've become a little bored I've completed all games and I've maxed 4 titles and would like to max more but I'm becoming fed up of protting, smiting or running discord/sabway.

See the thing is I have recently made a warrior and necro and now I'm stuck on trying to figure out which I should make into my main character

What I ask is just some opinions on either what's the most fun or the most open to runs/sc and farming.

I play a lot of High end PvE and low end pvp and would use my main for both. (To title farm basically) I would love to get GWAMM and i want to get it on the favourite character of your opinions

Thank you very much

I'm getting my titles on my warrior as she has been my main since day one. But that doesn't mean you should. It really, really comes down to which profession you enjoy the most. Getting GWAAM takes a long time and making that commitment means spending a lot of hours on one character. As you have discovered with your monk, if you get bored with the profession you will once again have wasted a lot of hours.

i don't think ability to obtain titles should have any affect whatsoever on one's choice in choosing a main character.

warrior and necro are both great choices. they both have quite a decent amount of build diversity, but eventually it will come down to whether or not you enjoy physical combat or spell casting.

one last thing: if you plan to play using heroes, i don't think theres anything more satisfying than playing as melee and making your heroes your bitches by dedicating them to superbuffing your dmg.

Yes I plan to play with heroes thank you for your input I think based on your feedback my main choices are monk and warrior I think I like the versatility of warrior builds and farms but becuase I've spent over 15 months solely on getting armour weapons and titles on my monk I don't know if I can rule her out

Maybe if I used my warrior to get me the golds alcohol and lockpicks but at the same time use money to upgrade him I think that may work

All thoughts and opinions welcome

I got GWAMM on my Monk and I still play him nearly daily (Wanted!, ZB, ZMs, etc). You should take a look at him again, Monks as a caster profession can run a lot of builds (Heal, Prot, Hybrid, Smite, Assassin's Promise spike, Spirit Spammer, the list goes on). Monking for real players is far more fun than playing with Heroes, though.

It might help to create a secondary character to play once in a while, so you can return to the Monk once you 'miss' him. I did that with an Assassin. It's a wildly different playstyle which gives me a lot of fun whenever I need a break from Monk (and melee/offense is much better to play with Heroes, use them to buff you like snaek said). I also made an Ele and Paragon which I play once in a while (mostly when Guild needs these roles for a run).

Just figure out what you like to do.

I like the idea of 'missing' my monk and adding a fall back character when I'm bored of my monk.

Can safely say my necro will not be my secondary character and my warrior will be unless someone can change my mind?

Atm my mind is set on using my warrior for farming and the proceeds go towards my monk
When looking at my characters I feel that the warrior just looks better there's better armour choices and more appealing weapon sets, should this really be a big factor in what I do becuase well tbh people show off they don't realise it but we all do there are a lot of more prestigous armours to show off with on a warrior in my opinion. And most staff are down right ugly
