Stopped reading with the opening paragraph. If you want to be taken seriously come to the realization there are bad players in every class.

People that play warriors always end up being the worst in the game. Second worst are monks that have no energy management and are effectively orison turrets. Learn to prot plz.

Not true obviously. Bad players come from every class, the only difference is a bad warrior thinks he's good 'cause he's anyway the last man standing and keeps playing, a bad mesmer will not be effective in any way, will keep dying and will quit playing 'cause it's a bad class.

Monks are good even as healers, do not think that just because the vast majority of them are boon prots healer is a bad way of playing.

Funny guide and true for the most part.

My 2 cents.

While I play everything, my favorite 2 classes are Warriors and Mesmers with a variety of secondaries, and I can tell you that the over-generalizations get a bit tiresome.

1) Warriors are often ridiculed because their mistakes are out there and obvious to the rest of the group. The whole team knows when they overextend and die or aggro too soon and kill everybody else. If they overextend ALWAYS LET THEM DIE. Usually they will die, but sometimes not. There are lots of solo Warrior builds and they may actually be able to handle what they are rushing. If you as a monk or team follow an overextended warrior and die yourself, IT'S YOUR FAULT, not the warrior's. Now, before you get all hot and bothered, please know that I understand that there is rarely a good reason to aggro the next group when your casters are still regenerating (or rezzing people for heaven's sake). And the only time there is a good reason is if the warrior has a build that actually can solo a patrol that is heading your way anyway and would quickly take out your casters while they are low on energy. (Oni, Graspings, etc.).

2) Monks are often ridiculed because a death is always somehow their fault. Usually it is the player's fault, but to be honest there are just as many lousy monks out there as there are lousy warriors. When I play a monk it's pretty clear to me that I'm one of the lousy ones. So I usually just use him for smiting and bring henchie healer/prot support. When I do team up with a good monk, it's like a breath of fresh air.

3) Casters and non-trapping rangers are the easiest to play. Why? Because you can be the single worst player on the team and nobody ever knows (except maybe the monk who's watching the skills you use while he desparately tries to keep you alive).

4) Because of prejudice:
A) It's hard to get on a GOOD team as a wammo.
B) It's hard to get on ANY team as a mesmer. (But when you finally do, it's always a good one.)

5) Stop knocking mending. Of course it doesn't make you invincible, but it's a very useful self heal for a character class that doesn't need energy. And of course it gets stripped from you, just like every other enchantment does in every other class. I haven't run into a completely useless skill yet in this game, but I've run into gobs of skills that have far less use than this one. Granted, I never use it in PvP.....unless I'm feeling particularly naughty, of course. Sometimes it's fun to bring my Thirsty River Soloing Wammo mending build into RA and kill all the non-mesmers who spammed "Mending ftw

" while we loaded.
