I'd note that it's the lack of grind that permits us to have more than one character, and thus fully experiencing Guild Wars. I've found that actually playing a given class gives me a great deal of understanding of the game's mechanics that I just wouldn't understand otherwise. I hope that GW2 doesn't destroy this, making it realistically possible for a "casual player" to have only one character.

Myself, I've got my 3 prop characters (Mo/Ra, Wa/Ne, Me/El) plus a Rt and now a Pa. Since prop, I've given up on full unlocks, only unlocking Mo, Wa, Rt, and Pa. My Me/El has the most unlocks (both mesmer, elementalist, necromancer curses, and many monk skills).

I have 10 characters one of each profession and one PvP slot that I can use for anything needed.

I have all primary profession skills available to each of these characters as well. Each PvE character also has one set of 15k armor to use.

The Paragon and Assassin have become my two favorites although finding a group in high end can be disappointing at times. At least I have another profession to that can get into those areas.

My main character that I'm trying to get most titles on is a ranger. I also play ritualist, necro, and ele very often. I play my warrior when the mood strikes. My first character to get through Prophecies was my monk, but I don't like the stress of playing monk, so she only smites now. I have a level 20 mesmer that I haven't really played that much, eventually I will get around to playing her.

I've been working on a dervish lately that's up to lvl 19. And I have a presear Ranger that I"m doing LDOA on.

I've made the other two professions but they are parked for now. Getting all those others through 3 campaigns when you play casually takes a while.

Sli Ander · Aug 07, 2007, 05:17 AM // 05:17

I play my monk mainly, with my ranger a close second. I originally tried to do one of every profession, but I was so used to playing monk I soon found I couldn't stand the playstyle of certain professions(like warrior). So instead I'm continuing to try and learn how to mesh every secondary with my monk and ranger as deeply as possible. I also have a necro in the works, but that's more of an experiment.

But that's just my two cents

Evilsod · Aug 07, 2007, 06:16 AM // 06:16

Got all 10 professions, but i mostly play Ranger, followed by Dervish.

Hidden Guru · Aug 07, 2007, 09:41 AM // 09:41

I have all ten professions, and I tend to spend about equal time on each of them, as much as I can. My monk is by far my primary, but I'd have to say that my Dervish and my Paragon are also pretty fun to play. All ten characters have beat all the campaigns and such.

The Defiled Knight · Aug 07, 2007, 10:20 AM // 10:20

I only have 1 character and that's a Dervish, i've had atleast 2 characters for each other profession but by the time i've got to lvl 20 with any of them i was bored and deleted them (never had one for more then a week and a half) but my dervish ive had for 5 months now. and plan to have him for many more to come.

jrk247 · Aug 07, 2007, 10:38 AM // 10:38

I have 3 mules, play 3 PvE/PvP chars (ranger, necro, warrior), have a free PvP char (currently a ele), and one other char that is at 11 months and getting deleted for w/e. But I usually only play my necro, ranger, and warrior.

So 3 out of 8.

MithranArkanere · Aug 07, 2007, 05:02 PM // 17:02

I have 12 slots, 10 professions at level 20, 1 Perma-Pre slot and one PvP/Emergency slot.

For the 10 professions I'll just try to get all skills from primary profession, and then unlock all outposts, except with my 'main' character, and Elementalist, with that I try to get some more stuff and get a title once in a while.

The Perma-Pre Slot is used with all 6 professions, I sometimes delete it and make another and go around helping guildies and friends and such.

And the PvP emergency... welll, the PvP part is understood, the 'emergency' part is meant for cases where I need a slot to get something, like a -50HP Grim cesta, some Monastery Credits, etc...

Pae · Aug 07, 2007, 05:31 PM // 17:31

I have a character of every profession, except for Dervish. I play all of them fairly extensively. The Me is still L14 or so, since that was supposed to be for a guild group run through Prophecies. I never really got into playing Paragon, though I'll have to try messing around with Spear Mastery more often. My Rit is another one who hasn't seen that much play, mainly just farming/Spirit Spammer in Urgoz. Four or five of them (maybe more?) are for extra storage. There are only three, I think, who've finished two campaigns. Four are halfway done with Factions to HzH and Cavalon.

And yeah, titles do suck when you have a bunch of characters, which is just another reason I don't really pay much attention to it, so that somewhat screws me over for the Hall of Monuments.

Shiishii Momo · Aug 07, 2007, 06:04 PM // 18:04

I have tried all 10 professions, and currently have lvl 20 nec, derv, war, sin & rit, my necro is the only toon to complete all 3 campaigns and somehow became the only one i cared about; best armor/weapons, only one i title (2 away from people know me, all pve titles). I have others I have started, lvl 14 ele, lvl 9 ranger, lvl 2 para, lvl 17 perma pre monk. Isn't it strange how we tend to fixate on a certain toon, I wonder at what point it is that we decide which it is that we like playing the most. I may one day try to start a mesmer again, if i can get over their fruity little dance.

julien · Aug 07, 2007, 06:08 PM // 18:08

6 characters, have done all chapiters will all

Kusandaa · Aug 07, 2007, 09:05 PM // 21:05

I have... 7 lv20 regular PvE characters (necro, ranger, warrior, dervish, assassin, ritualist, monk), with necro having eaten half of my played hours. Aside that, I have 2 mules; a lv4 mesmer (who's also a perma-Urgoz, free weekends ftw) and a lv3 paragon; a perma-pre (necro, might delete for a reg. PvE paragon); a rerollable PvP slot (currently a necro) and a lv12 mesmer who I'm working on.

Second account is Prophecies-only for now, and has a lv2 necro, lv2 warrior and a lv7 ranger.

Age · Aug 07, 2007, 10:15 PM // 22:15

I have 2 accounts and one my Main I have my Monk.Warrior.Ranger,Elementalist.Dervish,Mesmer and a few others like a PvP char.I rerolled my Monk so it is not the oldest anymore but by name only.
I have on a account two a Monk,Warrior,Necromancer,Assassin amd a few other like a PvP and a perma pre Ranger.
I really like Monk and Warrior but find Ranger and Necromancer to be fun.

thegrimjester90 · Aug 08, 2007, 05:03 AM // 05:03

I have 8 slots currently I have a Ranger, Assassin, Monk, Warrior, Dervish, and Elementalist (all lvl 20 and have completed at least one campaign). My Primary Character is subject to change, I typically spend a week with a character until i get bored and then play some other character. Eventually I would like to have 11 slots one for each profession + a PvP character but for some reason every time I attempt to buy the slots from the Online Store I get an Err=1751111.

SharonC · Aug 08, 2007, 06:04 AM // 06:04

I have 14 slots at the moment. 1 of each profession, with 2 rangers, 2 elementalists, and 2 monks, plus one free slot which will probably be a second necro when I get around to creating him.

My first character was a warrior, but I swapped to monk and ranger pretty quickly. I played my ranger through all three campaigns, and unlocked all the skills for her before any of the others had completed any campaign. My second favorite character would be my ritualist, followed closely by my monk, then ele, mesmer and necro tie for 4th place in my list of favorites. I am actively playing these 5 characters.

As to the others, my dervish finished NF, and I still pull her out for various things, but she isn't one I play regularly. Same for the warrior. I am slowly working on the paragon, but not one I care for too much. I'll have her finish NF, but then most likely will retire her. The assassin is sitting, untouched for months. For some reason I have a great deal of trouble playing a 'sin. Hopefully I will get back to her one day soon.

I find that playing each profession not only helps me unlock the skills for the heroes, it also lets me understand some of the synergy of skills and lets me make better choices is setting up heroes skill bars to work together.

Woodsy.

Nexilinix · Aug 08, 2007, 06:08 AM // 06:08

I have 3 pve characters. 1 Dervish (which is my main), 1 necro and 1 perma-pre ranger. And I use the 6 other slots for pvp characters.

With my dervish I try to achieve as much titles as possible. I have alrdy 6 maxed titles and near maxing 10 titles. Completed all campaigns with him, and have legendary survivor and almost all elite skills.
My necro is only lvl 14 but she has alrdy 15k scar pattern for 9 months.
My ranger is currently lvl 16 in pre-searing.

hallomik · Aug 08, 2007, 10:47 AM // 10:47

In (rough) order of creation:

1) W - beat all campaigns - with a /Mo, thought I was invincible
2) E - beat all campaigns - why didn't I make a female?

3) R - beat all campaigns - now a tombs and Urgoz dweller
4) N - beat all campaigns - how I loved raising minions
5) Rt - beat F & NF, reached Ember light Camp - Fewest deaths by far
6) Mo - beat all campaigns - now a 55 farming machine and title RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO
7) P - beat F & NF, somewhere in dessert - not played that much, frankly
8) D - beat NF and P, reached Senji's - soloed Welcome to Cantha for a long time or would be through Factions.
9) Me - beat all campaigns - Tyrian born & Mesmer's are actually really fun to play.
10) A - beat F & NF - Working on getting her to tombs to try some farming builds there.

neighto · Aug 08, 2007, 11:47 AM // 11:47
