I have tons of stuff that I remember being good but not so sure on now, almost no gold/plat and a ton of mini pets (yay birthdays lol).

So my questions:

A) I want to refresh myself on everything. I have basically knowledge of whats what- I remember the storyline for the original game very well and a little bit about the story for Factions. But I'm super out of date on equipment, what skills are what, etc. Does anyone have a suggestion for a great place to get caught up on the details?

B) Where do folks farm these days? I used to make my money doing W/Mo runs (which were the big thing back then) to rush new chars in old story. But it seems there would be better ways to do it- Assuming I've only beaten the story for the first xpac, where would you suggest going to raise up a couple of plat?

C) Are Warrior/Mo still as amazing as they were in say... 2006? =D

Tanks suck in Guild Wars, they always been sucking since enemy (an ally) AI got a much needed upgrade. For warriors builds in PvE, Hundred Blades for sword, Earthshaker for Hammer are good damage dealers. Also Scythe does deal huge damage for warrior.

Nuking sucks in Guild Wars as foes won't stand in AoE and run around. That and damage is so much less thanks to high enemy armor.

Go here for builds
Go here for Hard Mode
Go here for Team Roles
Go here for extra treasure
Go here for weapons
Go here for avoid scams

While playing Guild Wars and have any questions about anything simply type:
/wiki [insert something] it's the same concept of /dance

For example, need to find the elite skill Word of Healing type /wiki word of healing
Have a mysterious item, example: type /wiki sharktooths shield
Trouble with a quest, example: type /wiki against the charr
