Hi all, just started and game seems great.Where can I find info on character builds and point allocation. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Other than further down in The Campfire forum section you can look at:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page - For game info
http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page - For builds

These three alone will give you many many hours of reading. Just play the game through and don't get run anywhere (so you learn how to play). Welcome to a great game that I personally have been playing over two years now. If you have more specific questions ask away and there will always be people here who can answer them. Also dont' take it personally if people come across as rude because your new. Sometimes the old players forget that new players come along everyday

And sometimes the old players forget that they were new once. gsampl is right tho, play the game like it's supposed to and learn your skills and stuff.

Welcome to GW!

gsampl's links will be a lot of help to you when it comes to looking up builds, however in the earlier stages of the game you may not have access to all the skills required for most builds. If you're missing skills required for certain builds, keep playing through the game and the skills you need will start to become available as you find new skill trainers.

Though for now, I wouldn't worry too much about builds. Experiment with the skills you have, see how they work and what they do, and work out ways that you could combine skills together for greater overall effect. That will help you design your own builds later on

Current players also forget that new players don't necessarily start off with Prophecies, as seen above. :P
