depends on what you want to play. Ranger/Mes would make an outstanding shutdown/interupter.

i want to kill things?

The undead Mesmer · Sep 01, 2005, 08:07 PM // 20:07

a ranger/ele and take earth aftershock so you can kill some ppl

or fire with conjure flame and fiery bowstring

Pr1nc355SaRa · Sep 01, 2005, 08:10 PM // 20:10

i like the sound of the ranger/ele... i would have chosen the ele for the first, but i didn't like the way she looked...

If you dont really mind not having your bow and you wanna hurt things - you could make a w/mo - they hit things hard and can take alot of damage...
If you want to deal loads of damage to alot of things in one go... elementalist... no question. you may however be somewhat frail...

Pr1nc355SaRa · Sep 02, 2005, 10:15 AM // 10:15

no i like my bow and arrows... i don't need to be near things to kill them and by the time they get to me to try and kill me they're almost dead!

i do like the sond of killing lotsa things in one go though... hmm...

you know, you can use a bow and arrows, no matter what your class is....

you just dont get the same damage, i think.

and you can take ranger as a second class and still get all the fun of being a ranger. i have a necro ranger called Anita. i needed ranger for the pet, she has a conection to cats, you see. her animanl of call being a leopard, i went with ranger for a pet cat

however, by using necro runes on my armour, i can pump points into marksman and get all the killing mobs fun i want, and still get energy back from deaths with a soul reaping rune

yeah, ranger ele is a nice combo, and you wont be asked to do the juggy dance as much if your a ranger gall *grins* than if your an elementalist.
most people that like ele go for fire, though....firestorm (i htink its called) is a great one to use, so long as you have some way of keeping the monsters in one spot long enough for you to cast it and them not run out of it^^

ranger/ele or ranger/mes... we'll see when the game gets here!!! maybe tomorow... maybe monday... i hate the royal mail, it's too slow!

ElRey · Sep 02, 2005, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Go Ranger/Mesmer, its a helluva lotta fun for people to get interrupted and make em die fast

They are mostly support, but they can get a blackout on an elementalist and then use poision arrow again and again. Or u can kill 8 very low health people with barrage
