What would be more fun!? - Guild Wars Forums

Scizor · Apr 05, 2005, 01:43 AM // 01:43

Which would be more fun to play? A warrior or a Ranger. I like the idea of chaming pets and dealing some nice damage with a bow. Yet I also like the idea of having a dazzling sword showing people whats for. I have pretty much giving up on my necromancer idea. Heh. However I have come at another crossroad.

Ren Falconhand · Apr 05, 2005, 01:47 AM // 01:47

I have always favored the Bow. Even in my old D&D days way back in the day.

But I could not make up my mind so I made two chars. some people see shooting somebody from a far as the cheap way but I see it as skill.

Not to state the obvious to be mean or anything but you could try a warrior/ranger or ranger/warrior and get the best of both worlds? Just a thought man

It's all about what you enjoy, if you like Ranger more, do Ranger. If you like Warrior more, do Warrior. It's all a matter of opinion.

But you could always do R/W or W/R.

Yeah see tI forgot to mention that Id do W/N or R/E so for warrir i could do that vampric touch and what not. And for ranger i could have some nifty spells for those just-in-case moments.

Curlyfry · Apr 05, 2005, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Hey, yes, preferably i would go warrior for fun. Swords look really threatening and cool, and it takes alot of skill to be good!!!

Dreamsmith · Apr 05, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

*psst* You can have up to four characters. Why not do both?

HotSnack · Apr 06, 2005, 02:03 AM // 02:03

I prefer bows followed by... the axe and hammer.

Never could understand sword fans in GW, but hey experiment with both. Doesn't take long to bring a char to decent level afterall.

Rushing Wind · Apr 06, 2005, 02:12 AM // 02:12

Try them as primary/secondary (either way) or use one for two seperate characters. Lots of learning either way. IMO I love tanking and being the front line but I have a ranger character too and she's hella fun... probably cuz her secondary is a Mesmer and loves sucking the life outta the incompetents she comes across! Not that that has been too many since she's still in Pre-Seared Ascalon sitting at lvl 3 right now.

If you really can't decide, ask your guildmates if there are any positions that need filling.

Ranger is more fun.

RANGER > warrior

*is completely biased*

No, actually, he's telling the truth. Only because the ranger has a cooler dance. The warrior dance is just hilarious, but definately has a O.o reaction.

Plus, which other character has trenchcoats?

I dig the reference.

Also, male rangers are way more attractive than male warriors.

William of Orange · Apr 06, 2005, 03:33 AM // 03:33

Rangers look more..."suave" than Warriors do in my opinion. But I'm partial to sniping people myself, so Ranger was just a natural choice.

At some point in time, I'll have run through every profession, so I'll get a feel for which one I like better according to how they actually play rather than how they look.

Xellos · Apr 06, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

Hey, no matter what mask you take for ranger, it still looks decently cool. To be a power gamer, you have to look stupid. A porridge bowl for a helmet, some funky armour with stripes, and a whole bunch of other stuff. A ranger on the other hand, just needs druid set. Wow, decisions decisions.

Perishiko ReLLiK · Apr 06, 2005, 05:09 AM // 05:09

This beta weekend is my ranger testing time!! cause they're the most fun!

pft... can we say... bird of death... exactly... case closed.
