Gabe3 · Jul 09, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

Ok this is my first day playing and iam kinda liking the game, iam at the point with my warrior to choose a secondary profession, iam thinking to choose a ranger or a monk, which should I go with? btw this is GW: factions(if it makes any difference)

Please go with ranger...

Do it for the children

Gabe3 · Jul 09, 2006, 02:18 AM // 02:18

people have been telling me to go with monk

thats the obvious one because you can heal as you deal tons of damage, also more ppl would want you in a group later on.

Well since you have'nt been playing the game for long I would surgest monk. You can change it after a few mission should you wish to.

I chose monk

I'd suggest W/Mo if this is your first character. But I started my Warrior as a W/N; Plague Touch is just so useful in PvE.

Hmmm.

I'm quite happy with my W/R.

Admittedly, when I set up to go out I usually have to focus my skills on what my role is going to be and it generally is heavy to one profession or another.

Even so, I can put several nice mixes together as well.

W/R is nice, but what are you using from that profession? Pets? Poison? Tiger's/Bestial Fury? Melandru's Resilience?
I've always wanted to know.

W/R with poison is nice.
W/Mo To keep yourself alive and rez the weaklings when the croak.
W/N for self heal\life steal or even curses to weaken opponents for faster kills.
W/E- earth for melee bonus(slow enemies, better armor to many bonuses to list all) - Fire has a few fast cast aoe spells that work well but you will be limited on energy still nice for fast kills - Water is great for preventing enemy melee units from reaching your back lines by slowing down and also offers you some armor options.
W/Me epedemic can really hamper groups of enemies when coupled with warrior condition attacks.
I havent tried a W/A or W/Rt yet but I know I could find advantages with both of those classes also. The best bet is to find something you like and enjoy playing with as any secondary can be good if you LEARN how to use it to full advantage.
Good luck with your W/Mo(that is what I am most of the time also by the way).
