Hey all,
My normal build is the PvP mage-type character. Basically built for PvP and single target combat (not aoe). I'm wondering what would be the best class combo for a character like that? Are there any stun skills in GW? Anything that reduces enemy attack/atk rate/def/etc? I've been told that mes/nec would be the build for this, but I guess a second opinion never hurts =p

thanks in advance.

Well, your ideal character could be a large number of different class combinations. Let me describe some of the classes for you:

Necromancer - You'll have some good debuffs and life stealing, but not too much raw damage.
Elementalist - Lots of damage and a few good utility spells.
Mesmer - Lots and lots of debuffs.
Monk - Ok damage, knockdown (just like stun) skills, and healing (if you don't choose to be a healing Monk, then it's good ettiquette to warn your team beforehand, since people expect a healer when they add a Monk to their team, and not a smiter).

Pick a combination of those few classes.

Ok so basically the monk is the healer bitch? lol

Obviously elementalist looks tempting for the high damage and I'm liking Mesmer as well so I think I'll go with that combo.

Does it matter what order they go in? Is an el/me any different from a me/el?
