Best presearing character? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Monk + Imp = ftw imo

Sorry my mistake then about eruption, I knew i never gotten the skill in pre, i was just looking at the page on wiki,but I saw something that wasn't there.

I still stand by my opinion though.Everyone can take the fire imp, the others will just be doing more damage then the monk.You just don't need the heals imo, and the fire imp already has Aura of Restoration, which does good healing for the damage he takes.

My two cents,

I have a lvl 19 War/R with Lvl 19 Fire Imp and a lvl 20 Pet that I Death Leveled.

Also I have the GW:EN Pre Release for the Glacial Blade and I put an 18% vs Charr on it.

I also have access to the Sundering Longbow that came with the Pre release.

I do NOT run War skill line. In fact I only run 6 skills all of which are ranger but one...Frenzy.

Using the bow I can kill a hunter in 3 shots and only 2 shots if the imp hits.

Now i also have a Monk lvl 16 with imp and the pre Release Staff and that sucks. Chaots remove enchantments so there is a draw back there.

Troll Ungent is the BEST Regeneration in all of presearing bar none as it can not be removed. Throw in some Pumpkin Pie and a cup cake and your pawning the Northlands in 3 minute runs all by yourself at lvl 19. WOOT

Back to reality. I have 5 accounts and the LDoA is on my main account and I am going to be running that to post. So I need another Farmer for Nick.

Mine is a Ranger with the GotY bow. Once I got the attributes to 9 mark for the req I can slaughter everything at a distance for regular farming all but charr carvings.

Once my ranger reached lvl 6 - I did the Charr at the gate quest for all that xp - i had my new farmer. Level 6 = Mark at 9. One from my headpiece armor, one from my Mark rune on my head piece and the other 7 from attribute points

So for low levels I would say, Ranger with Pet and mesmer for some degen?

the secondary is messed up - are you picking a secondary and NOT going for LDoA?
Cause if you pick a secondary then you have access to the attributes. Now Necro looks a lot better but so does ELE for Firestorm.

So if you are going to LDoA its Ranger is the fastest to lvl and kill charr.
But for Fun, its Necro/ELE

Its all a matter of opinion.
Note: My Ranger does not have his secondary chosen yet as I am still undecided

Me/E is the best combo by far imp or not

Quaker · Mar 12, 2010, 03:39 PM // 15:39

I always love it when people ask "What is the best......"

In this case the answers have been Necro, Elementalist, Mesmer, Monk, Ranger, and Warrior. I guess that about covers it.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Rit, Derv, Sin, or Paragon.

There is no "best" - just "best for you".

I'm surprised that Rit, Derv, Sin, or Paragon isn't available in Pre-Searing

When it comes to pre-searing this statement that correctly applies to everything else is wrong.

When the number of skills is so limited there is gonna be a class that does better then the rest.

What profession is best?The warrior with 1 skill for each attribute or the ele with 5 skills in fire and nothing in the others?

Chances are the the answer would be the ele.I know the skill choice isn't as drastic in pre-searing, but the dilemma is the same.

Did you even read the thread or did you just see the title Best charcter and missed the word presearing?

As mentioned before it is impossible by yourself (I read this somewhere that you used to be able to do this in pre-searing by yourself but ANET stopped that after it got out of hand... You can do this with a partner (I will look up how to as I forgot the process as well

)) I wish anet wouldn't do some of the things they do -- Rephrase that... Most of the things they do

Oh really? What do you mean by out of hand? Is the bear more powerful?

No idea - each and every animal companion is created equal, except the Bear, which is slightly less powerful than the rest, thanks to its pointless Brutal Mauling skill.

That is what I was trying to avoid when I asked for the best build, in terms of power. I'm sure those who solely play warriors in pre will say warriors are the best...and the same goes with every profession.

Are we playing the same game? Tell me how you can get any of those 4 classes into Pre-searing and I'll pay you a stack of ecto.

Did you even read this thread? I listed off all the classes that people recommended for pre-searing.

@Snograt - I was wondering if anyone would actually respond to that.

(I admit, it was almost troll-like.)

Xenex Xclame · Mar 13, 2010, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Just because your entitled to your opinion does not mean I cant criticize it.

Quaker · Mar 14, 2010, 03:14 PM // 15:14

And just because people say "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" doesn't mean they really are.

RoscoeWallace · Mar 14, 2010, 06:10 PM // 18:10

Thanks everyone. I've got a lvl 12 E/R that can solo (with imp+pet) the northlands fairly easily now. I have to admit that I think Me/E or Mo/E might be a better choice. My pet is nothing more than an aggro control while I firestorm/flare everything to death. The imp destroys charr and can solo 3-4 by himself.

snodaard · Mar 17, 2010, 08:16 PM // 20:16

E/--- and take the skills from ranger,
I'm lvl 14 in 6 days of casual playing, and I pwn the char in the northlands in less then 5 minutes every round. just get to know your pet

and use him as bait, - use the attack, guard, and heel. so you can ball up your targets. 1 firestorm is always enough to kill them of.

ohh and make sure you rune your armor well, you can easily buy some blessed insignia's. and you will always use Aura of restoration, so you will be enchanted.
+ the chaot's can shatter you, but you can cast AOR fast enough anyways.
