Okay, so through some searching I found a good site that lists all the skills in detail... www.knights-templar.com

However knowning now that this is not the traditional mmorpg... but a corpg(competitive online role-playing game) Is anyone willing to share some stories about the pace of pvp? perhaps how some skills work together?

Can warriors actually make it into melee? or do they find themselves almost dead after charging into combat?

Also, I found out recently that there are over 150 different skills that each two professions can use.. are all the skills equally good? This meaning... will i find a certain build being over used because it is too powerful?

thanks for your time,

VectorS

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/skills-listing-id34.php

is also a nice skill list

very few skills are crap skills so to speak

they are doing a wonderful job of balancing which is still in progress

there seems to be very few ways to produce a really broken character and it is relatively fast and easy to correct any mistakes

there does not seem to be any uber build that somebody else cant seem to find a counter for

according to the pvp players (i am pve) this is the best they have found so far

I personally found the PvP too fast paced, but I'm more of a strategy player (and EQ guild raids took upwards of an hour to arrange and prep for). Warriors seemed to have as good a chance as any to make it into battle, especially if the guild has a "stick together" strategy. there is still room for laying traps, etc, but I think its all a little too new for ultimate strategies.
There really don't seem to be any power builds or overpowering combos as every class has a strategic advantage and weakness related to every other class, but again, it might be too early to see any of this. I personally have my class preferences, as do others, and I can honestly say there doesnt seem to be any that live longer than others as tis game is pure strategy.

I joined a guild with my lvl 10 Mes/Ele, we were all lvl 8-12, and we went into battles with lvl 20's of equal number, and we DID get our asses handed to us everytime, but I felt great pride in soloing a lvl 20 ran/ele!! The only reason I defeted her was pure strategy (involving a wall and no los), she obviously didnt know how to combat my character (until round 2, face to face

).

Well... couple basic or general of how things go in PvP:

Almost everyone love monk
Almost everyone want other team's monk dead
Almost everyone pick on the guy with weakest armor
Almost everyone single fire on one target
Almost everyone run away when they have low health
Almost everyone ignore the guy with heavy armor
Almost everyone would dodge AoE
Almost everyone would dodge arrows

Oh Warrior/Monks can sure be a pain in the butt and hard to fight with and bring them down...but actually people hardly focus on Warriors in PvP...so well, they do live longer :P as long as they dont go on the Healers...

Well....of course higher hp and more heals make you live longer....unless of course you fall into my sights. (My Arrogance and Self Righteousness apparent and obvious, sorry for being so transparent)

Currently the status quo strategy for PvP is target the monks, then target the other casters, then target the rangers, then the warriors. So warriors actually normally last longer than your casters due, due to armor and target strategy.
