i've checked there, though I didn't undersatnd much

Ninna · May 10, 2005, 01:06 PM // 13:06

just experiment

anything works

I think a lot of it depends on what style of game play you like. For me I'm more of a "frontline" player so I went with a warrior/ranger. This way I get to be a "tank" and get in on all the action. But if you like to sit back and heal, then you'll want to consider a monk. Best thing is just to experiment and find what you like, and most of all, have fun!

Basically ask your self what you want. There is more to it than this, but the basic question could be:

Want to heal other people? Take a monk
Want to fight in melee? Take a warrior
Want to deal damage? Take an elementalist
Want to play control? Take a mesmer

Necro and ranger are harder to define.

When you are in the game you can do secondary class quests for each of the 5 professions you did not pick, so you can get a taster of each of them before you descide what you want as a secondary class. I personally made 4 characters before I ended up with one I liked (Necro/Warrior - neah, elementalist - hmmw, ranger/mes - nice shall keep but not my main, Warrior/Monk - yeah, that rocks for me).

Nochi · May 10, 2005, 01:12 PM // 13:12

think im goin' for E/mo

though i don't know if im going to be E/mo or Mo/e though

GraceAlone · May 10, 2005, 01:13 PM // 13:13

lol, I was the same way. Made 3 characters before I decided on W/R

but the W/M will be my next build

if you don't understand much then just copy what other's have been successful with

the main site here is the best site for build info imo

read it, copy it, or understand it then copy it...the choice is yours.

if you're looking for the simplest thing to play i'd have to say the good old fashioned warrior/monk is best suited for simplicity, and beginners.

i'm a level 20 mo/e but i'm speced as a pve smiting monk with virtually no healing...i think i would have been better as an e/mo because my playstyle preference is for offense rather than defense.

Nochi · May 10, 2005, 09:12 PM // 21:12

yeah, think that's what im going for

thx for all tips

Harge · May 10, 2005, 10:11 PM // 22:11

I also just got the game, yesterday to be exact

I made a E/Mes and he is working out well so far.

Nochi · May 11, 2005, 07:47 AM // 07:47
