Evil Eye · Jul 14, 2009, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Warrior of course.

Stokely · Jul 14, 2009, 06:57 PM // 18:57

I'd go with necro. I still play mine regularly

mazza558 · Jul 14, 2009, 07:02 PM // 19:02

Ritualist, because they're awesome now.

ll Jamie ll · Jul 14, 2009, 07:05 PM // 19:05

This should be in the questions and answers forum i think but:

Id go for warrior.. they just have so many uses and are fun to play, you just can't not have one!

CronkTheImpaler · Jul 14, 2009, 07:16 PM // 19:16

druid or shaman.

Cronk

Seriously choose whatever looks most interesting/entertaining. look through the forumns, youll see lots and lots of pro's amd con's of each profession.

Warrior for running if you want to make gold like that. but it's boring. Necro's are awesome for PvP or PvE. But if you are intent on using both slots for PvE I would go with the Necro and El as Warriors mostly arrgo and tank stuff. which means boring. I know I've had one for over 4 years. If you need a tank to aggro things you can make and awesome hero warrior for that or you can just use a henchman warrior in most cases.

Lishy · Jul 14, 2009, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Warrior.

SY, Earth Shaker, Dragon Slash, Triple Chop, Hundred Blades, Defy Pain, Warrior's Endurance, PvE.

IronSheik · Jul 14, 2009, 07:34 PM // 19:34

Necro, and then a warr/Rit

Mordakai · Jul 14, 2009, 08:02 PM // 20:02

First, what do you play most now, and do you want something that plays differently or similar to that style?

If you want another caster: Go Necro or Rit.

Want a frontline melee? Go Warrior or Dervish.

Dzjudz · Jul 14, 2009, 08:04 PM // 20:04

How can you not have an elementalist?!

Meh, because other casters are better?

Plus, we don't know his secondaries. Maybe he has a Mesmer/Elementalist (like I do), so my Ele doesn't get much love (I already did the whole fast nuking thing ages ago).

And yes - What is the style of play your roughly looking for?

Also what he/she said, but id rub out rit and add ele if your looking for just the basic nukes, but that's just my opinion (although rit has some good nukes also.)

If you like casting with large DPS from a safe dist, then you should go ele.

Warrior, if you like typical hack and slash with not much finese. Since it's a melee class its more direct in play. Yes they're effecient, but I find the playstyle quite boring.

Necro is a very strong caster/midliner for minions and soul reaping is a great form of energy management that allows the necro to do alot of different things. Minions are fun, but it is a one-horse trick that gets old fast.

Rit is similar to necro, except with spirits. You can do indirect team support and DPS like with spirits and weapon spells. The recent PvE buff to casting time on rit spirits makes them more shiny for PvE. This is almost comparable to the Para for Cantha, albeit in a different and weaker form.

Dervish, my favorite and main, but Ill try to hold back my bias. Its melee, so it is direct. There are less options for Dervish effectiveness, but it does not lack luster. It is a more squishy frontliner than the warrior, however there are many options for a dervish to do large amounts of damage and safely buff themselves.

/Mantra of ELEMENTALISTS CANNOT DEAL HIGH DAMAGE AGAINST THE ENEMIES THAT NEED HIGH DAMAGE AGAINST THEM THE MOST

Flip a coin. It will be as educated as the answers on your question.

paddymew · Jul 14, 2009, 09:49 PM // 21:49

If you want to be able to take a lot of damage and deal moderate amounts, go for Warrior.

If you want to be a melee/caster hybrid with high damage and moderate survivability, go for Dervish.

If you want to be at a safe distance and deal relatively small amounts of damage, but support and cause conditions/hexes, go for Necromancer.

If you want to either control a bunch of spirits or be an alternative kind of healer, go for Ritualist.

My suggestion would be to create a dervish and a warrior for comparison, and if you want to be melee more than range after that, don't create a necro or ritualist.

I would have to say which ever one you believe you would enjoy the most, even if it comes down to the one with the "coolest" armor or a good set of skills. The choice would best be made by you, since you're the one that's gonna be playing it.
