I must say that gave me a good laugh. MENDING FTW!

Don't use mending...EVER.

That's not neccesarily true. Early in the game it works just fine, the problem is people don't adapt later and stop using it where enemies strip it.

It is a waste of a skill slot on everything apart from a solo farmer (e.g. 55 monk) I'm sure 99.9% people will agree with me.

Watchful Spirit would be a better choice, since it gives +2 without any attribute investment.

i'm not surprised that people cast mending on alesia. i used to do that too. she dies way too easily and has the AI of a pig...

It would have been a better choice. But it's not available until Maguuma Jungle. It was my first time through the game (and back then I was scared of PvP... what if I die and drop everything that's in my backpack?

), so I couldn't unlock it.

Actually... You learn something from everything. What I learned at Gates of Kryta was that every skill in the game, no matter how lame, has a use. The use for Mending is 55 monking and getting Alesia through that mission. It's not much, but it's something.

I decided at the start not to have my warrior ran for armor / faster levelling. I thought it would kill the newbie feel too fast.

I have now got to Lion's Arch...toddled across to Cantha and Elona. This weekend I blitzed Tyria with come friends and got to Droknar's Forge (the long way

- Kryta - Jungle - Desert). So glad I finally have SOME of my extra attribute points. Jeez...I hate having to wait so long for them here.

I am also now W/P...I always intended to be that. I find Remedy Signet useful and, in the Desert, Hexbraker Aria (yes it's Leadership...but it's not affected by attribute points). I meant to try "Can't Touch This!" but forgot >.<

Thanks for all the help guys.

Oh, as for the Gates of Kryta. I got so annoyed with it I had a lvl 20 friend with 2 lvl 20 heroes to help me out. Needless to say we DIDN'T take Alesia... Dunkoro ftw.

Personally, I prefer Dreadnought's armor. using the calculator on GWGuru' homepage I found 10 extra armor reduces damage from a meteor by about 10. 30 damage from the shower >=D

As for hammers, they're great weapons except that 16 armor reduces damage by about 1/4
