Most common "Mained" character? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

_Nihilist_ · Aug 12, 2009, 03:33 AM // 03:33

WTB Poll from Q&A mods! It might only settle the GWG member demographic, but it might help the OP - and I'm interested to see what Guru members consider their mains.

A poll would be skewed, the people visiting forums are (usually) the upper tier or players in terms or experience and intellect therefore more likely to be playing less superficial professions.

You will find that Timmy 12yr old from kamadan prefers warrior or dervish because they the most muscles and biggest sharp metallic objects and look best dyed in solid black whereas regular posters here are more likely to have mesmers, ritualists or elementalists.

I'd say monk.

Just because everyone wants their own verrry unique looking blond female monk with black FoW armor, bandana/ninja mask and chaos gloves. I guess they think it looks good.

Espadon · Aug 12, 2009, 03:49 PM // 15:49

There are a lot more bad players maining sin and derv because they look and sound cool

The mask of the Mo Zing is grotesque on any character of any gender and profession.
>__o??
And chaos gloves are far too bright for most armors. xD

Warrior or Monk would be my guess.

wilebill · Aug 13, 2009, 02:35 AM // 02:35

Answer to your question depends on whether you mostly play in pugs, with guildies and friends, or solo with heroes and hench.

Solo with heroes and hench, Ranger is my main. Followed closely by my Paragon and Warrior.

Farming, various. Assassin mainly, but depends on what you are farming.

fenix · Aug 13, 2009, 02:41 AM // 02:41

This thread isn't "what is your main character" it is "what do you think gets used as a main character the most".

The likely answer? Monk.

Chocobo1 · Aug 13, 2009, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Sin nowdays, because everyone knows its a free ride to richtown.

reaper with no name · Aug 13, 2009, 02:53 AM // 02:53

Obviously warrior.

Seriously, I don't see how there could be any debate on it. It was practically designed to be the lowest common denominator class.

Now, me personally, that would be dervish (which should explain to some of you why I'm so much more vocal about dervishes needing fixes than I am about SF or ER).

Lishy · Aug 13, 2009, 03:03 AM // 03:03

What's used most are warriors because they're warriors and use big, sexy, long swords, and monks because they heal and because they can solo most of the high-end areas using simple team builds.

bjorn shurtugal · Aug 13, 2009, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Ele is the main i use, but i've been using my sin and rit more often recently, so all professions are generally all balanced

I thought this line was funny, so I quoted it.

Arachnephobia · Aug 13, 2009, 03:42 AM // 03:42

--Post revamp--

I personally think the most used profession for farming would be a Monk, then an Assassin.

Monks from 55 to 600/smite, and healers. They infest Bergen Hotsprings, and Doomlore. 50% of them are in FoW armor (see clones).

Sin's are infesting highly farmed areas like TOTA, DOA, and TOPK. Also, they're great runners next to Dervishes (Derv's infesting Beacon's Perch, and ele's infesting with sins are infesting Rata Sum).

I personally play an Elementalist, because they can do so much. I've tried a bunch of farming builds, but not all that are available to the public. I've made several builds of my own and learned from it. Ele's are fun, and I feel the most comfortable playing the most.

Nessar · Aug 13, 2009, 03:43 AM // 03:43

I usually see a lot of monks, wars, & eles with koabd in various ranks. My main is an ele since being a caster is fun..but anyway, you should choose whatever you're comfortable with.

Zahr Dalsk · Aug 13, 2009, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Characters I find fun to play:

Warrior, Assassin, and to a lesser degree Dervish. Melee characters.

Characters who'll get groups easily:

Monk, Warrior, Elementalist, Necromancer.

My main character:

Ritualist. Why? Because I like the appearance, and because at this point I've invested more effort and time into my Ritualist than my other characters.

Sarevok Thordin · Aug 13, 2009, 06:11 AM // 06:11

I'm going to say Warrior.

KZaske · Aug 13, 2009, 07:43 AM // 07:43

My main is a Ranger, my secondary is yet another Ranger. I love playing Rangers, next to eles they have the best range of abilities in the game. Third in line is one of my three Monks, used mostly for farming. While I have a warrior, I don't play it much anymore because I have given up on trying to play HA.
The only profession I can't stand playing is Assassin. I don't know why, perhaps because I get bored with them about level three.

Hyper.nl · Aug 13, 2009, 10:07 AM // 10:07

This topic needs a poll: Which profession has your main character?

Murgatroyd · Aug 13, 2009, 12:05 PM // 12:05

Kinda depends on where you are.

In Beacon's Perch, you'll lots of dervishes and rangers.
In Bergen Hot Springs, LOTS of monks. Heh.
In Rata Sum, lots of sins and eles.

In LA, Kamadan, and Kaineng City... yeah, monks, warriors, eles.

As for myself, my first 'main' was a Necro, which I still play. A couple of years ago I kinda rediscovered my Assassin character (not permasin!) and played the hell out of it for a while. Then I made a new ranger and played the hell out of it. Recently I made a new rit and am currently playing the hell out of it, along with a new mesmer (I have 'old' ones I never play - I just wanted to start fresh with them).
