I'm totally confused. Races? Rogue? what? The warrior is the tank

Devil's Dictionary · Feb 21, 2005, 01:50 AM // 01:50

There are no races, there are no rogues... Are you sure it's GW you want to preorder

?

Just a thought, maybe if you conveyed your questions better so that people could understand what you were saying, then you might get an answer you like.

I'm not trying to insult your speech, or the way you type. But you asked a question about things that are not in this game that are in a different game. Someone pointed that out to you, and you called him an idiot and then asked if there was anyone smart enough to answer your original question.

Allow me to be the first to answer your question: No.

There is no recommended profession. Every profession has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Having said that; the developers have suggested that people start out playing a warrior. Warriors are fairly simple to get the hang of, and notoriously difficult to kill. The epitome of easy to learn impossible to master, they have quite a shallow learning curve especially for PvE leading them to being a great starter class for people new to the game.

I'm still hazy on what your actual question was, but hopefully that answers it.

ok ok ok, calm down. We're all members of the guild wars family here.

First, you do need to word your posts a little more clearly. I'm not sure what you're asking.

I'm assuming your question is, what is the best profession for you to be. That's not really a question we can answer. I'll need a little more information before I can make any suggestions.

The best I can give you is to go read through our guides for all the professions, you'll not find a better set of guides on the net. They will explain everything you'll need to know about the professions.

Open Tractor · Feb 22, 2005, 12:37 AM // 00:37

Well, elementalists have the weakest armor in game, warriors have the strongest. Rangers (or rogues) have the second strongest. Just going by base armor levels here...

A good bet, after you have read a few guides, is pick what you want to be and try it out. Then try out some others, it's easy to do

No one class is better than another.

Me? I STILL can't pick a class, heh, I like them all.

Being new to Guild Wars (this past weekend was my first time playing) I found that the Ranger/Warrior combinaton was a good first pick. You are able to attack from a distance with your bow and pet but are able to do some damage in a melee fight also. This worked for me and is just a suggestion.

Genosha · Feb 24, 2005, 02:56 AM // 02:56

The one thing I noticed is that hand 2 hand combat is easier than casting spells. But the mixes can be decieving. My primary char is a Necro/Mes let me tell you it's a hand full, but I love my char. I am able to suck the life from someone while causing pain. But don't think that's the key to my efforts. I have a bow, sword/shield, staff, & Trabuchet & Shield. Now do I use them all? YES I do all for different reasons. So if you want to mix and match remeber to think how much you want to put into your char.

Loviatar · Feb 24, 2005, 03:19 AM // 03:19

i found that as a warrior/anything i got my head handed to me

as a fire elementalisr/mesmer i started handing out heads

unknownforce001 · Feb 24, 2005, 04:03 AM // 04:03

if u want a tank, then go for worrior. but then team it with some thing else. i ono what you like so, i think u should play with each build first then decide. i personally like mesmer/necro

Bratti · Feb 24, 2005, 04:36 AM // 04:36
