Need help with proffesion Choice - Guild Wars Forums

Lolits Sean · Dec 24, 2009, 06:41 PM // 18:41

Okay, Not sure if I put this in right spot but here I go.

I'm having toubles with what proffesion to be, i have so far narrowed it down to: Elementist, Dervish, Monk, and Warrior. I Like Ele cause they are all around fun. Dervish because I started NF as a Dervish. Monks are fun but I can NEVER find any PUGs. Warrior, well I started the whole game as one.

Any thoughts?

PS. PvE mainly but when I get better I hope to PvP

Play what you enjoy...Everyone has there own thoughts on what they like best.

So depends if you have all campaigns then choose one that you will continue to use as you like it. Read the forums here to give an insight on the professions.

Nobody can say whats the best as what suits one does not suit another

Play to enjoy the profession of your choice.

I find it hard to believe you had trouble finding PUGs as a monk. PUGs are almost always willing to take a human heal/prot monk (even though a Hero/hench is often better). And you can play as a Smiting/RoJ monk when you h&h or with an enlightened PUG.

Anyway, as above, play whatever you like. The game is not hard and any class with anything but a really bad build, can do Normal Mode. Any class with a good build and properly setup Heroes can do Hard Mode as well.

I think the OP is saying that he plays a Monk because it's hard to find PUGs playing other professions.

His monk might be at low level places where there are very few people or at places where there is no mission and just quest, so hard to find groups there.

Elementalist do good damage, and have decent energy managment but can die really fast if they get targeted, eles don't really have good heals,they have nice skills to slow down the enemy damage, blinds, slows knock down etc.

Dervish have good survivability,good damage, they are good if you want to be like a warrior, but want some extra stuff to play with, but you still have to remember that you are not a warrior.With constant forms with the help of eternal aura, and easy deep wound Dervish are nice to play.

Monk have ok energy managment, are great at heals (obviously) are bad at damage, as a damage dealer you are gonna be stuck with Ray,smite hex/condition, you will be in recharge most of the time, so unless you have a good group your damage is gonna go to waste.In my opinion, most of the time your better off just healing/protting at which the monk shines in.

Warriors have great damage, high survivability which allows you to do more mistakes without having to pay for them.They can be kind of slow to get started because of adrenaline,but if you combine that with a few energy attacks, or adrenaline gain skills,they can be a pain for the enemy, once started a warrior is a very high threat.
