Oh, It said it first albeit in a more condensed form

Sry but I don't suggest to say that something is useless just because your one maybe is. Maybe your skill bar isn't too good. God Mode doesn't even need ANY skill to play either.

Dark Kal · Mar 06, 2008, 08:10 AM // 08:10

I only said my paragon is useless, although I do believe paragon is fairly useless in PvE compared to other classes apart from some cookie cutter builds like this "God Mode". Please if you have some good paragon builds enlighten me I sure could use some. Also the reason I suggested against it is because he should just pick a class he likes rather than some class with some cookie cutter build.

There's Nothing to Fear! and Save Yourself!, add attacks, adrenaline builders to taste. Yell a lot, you can be a wammo with a stick.

Just because you can't find a build you like cookie cutter OR otherwise, doesn't mean you should disparage others from an entire profession, or those people that do or do not use cookie cutter builds.

Obviously a build other than this so called "Paragon God Mode" which SY is a part of... sigh.

Just because a class has a few good cookie cutter builds/skills does not make it a good class either. I've nothing against cookie cutter builds but one cookie cutter build should not be the reason to play a class.

i heard that most GWAMM's you see are monks
someone told me that cuz like
every GWAMM he saw in towns/outposts/elite missions were monks

Reapers Prophecy · Mar 06, 2008, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Generally you see Monks, Eles and Necros with GWAMM. But honestly just pick what you like best.

I myself like my sin the best and have 20 maxed titles on him. So imo profession doesn't matter.

MagmaRed · Mar 06, 2008, 02:23 PM // 14:23

I'll say it again. Play the class you enjoy the most. However, realize that some classes will struggle with certain titles more than others. Sins are rarely taken by PUGs because many of them try to tank, can't use an attack combo, or leeroy. I'm not saying all do, but enough people think they do that they won't take one they don't know personally. So a Sin will need more guild/alliance help than a Monk, Warrior, Elem, etc.

Also, unless you use one of the 'exploit' methods for Survivor, an Assassin will be hard to get that title with. 70 AL and afflicted explosions is hard. Either get to GW:EN for some boxing, or pay for runs to Lutgardis for FFF.

Lastly, although you may not want to use it for this purpose until after obtaining Legendary Survivor, a Monk has more options for farming than a Sin. You will want to farm to pay for titles like Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, Party Animal, etc. Sin can farm, but Monk has more options.

Now, outside of titles for GWAMM, you may also want to fill your HoM. This includes armor sets (easy for any class - but Monk has more options than Sin), heroes, mini's, Destroyer Weapons, and lastly, achievements. Completing things like Sorrows Furnace, Slaver's Exile, FoW/UW, The Deep, Urgoz, and DoA will be easier as a Monk. Sin could do all of them, but with PUGs you won't get a team unless they run Ursan.

A Shade Of Dark · Mar 07, 2008, 02:18 AM // 02:18

Very true, Magma, I wasn't thinking in terms of HoM. Maybe I will go remake my monk and get survivor on her, this is like the fifth time that I got to R2 of survivor then lagged during boxing and died /sigh.

I've come to the conclusion Dark Kal is bad at Guild Wars.
The mere fact alone that Paragons put out warrior-strength DPS at range with an unstrippable, permanent IAS (with a laughable downside) makes Paragons incredibly strong already.

Throw into that unstrippable, party-wide defensive and offensive buffs and heals, infinite energy and the ability to use retardedly strong PvE skills and you've got a very powerful proffesion.

People who say paragons are bad... are bad

I concur.

I mostly see female monks with GWAMM... If that helps...

...Sin could do all of them, but with PUGs you won't get a team unless they run Ursan.

Could go Deadly Arts and never get close, Crit Barrager or even Crit Paragon.

Sadly thats true. People are very close minded. If they dont see a Profession on a wiki build then your chances of actually getting in a non Ursan is low.

FengShuiDove · Mar 07, 2008, 02:22 PM // 14:22

My title character is a sin. Reason: besides thinking it's the most fun profession to play, I can also take damage into my own hands and leave the healing to H/H. Sometimes I have trouble getting heroes to target the right person, etc., so I'll do it myself and they can kill whoever they want. With monks you're relying on other people, usually, to deal the damage, whether it's PUGs or H/H. But again, Monks can make or break a team, and that might be advantageous in picking up a group.

Adriaanz#Shiro · Mar 07, 2008, 03:57 PM // 15:57

Now my question to the OP is...
what build do YOU run as a Sin in HM?
I'm mostly some Moebius, but that's getting boring
tried Locusts's, sucks.
tried Siphon Strength, sucks a bit.
tried Assacaster, was fun until second nerf today.
Now running Ursan, but it's getting boring and boring...

Reapers Prophecy · Mar 07, 2008, 04:44 PM // 16:44

Shiro try the A/D Crit Scythe build. I currently have been running that and its a lot of fun.
