I am new to GW. My first character is a warrior... she is only level 6 right now. I still havent made up my mind about what secondary profession to take. I was leaning towards warrior/necro though.

I would like to ask you experience people if it is possible to farm with a warrior/necro. I hate having money problems and usually make my first character in any RPG to resolve those. Is having a warrior/monk necessary for farming?

its easier to farm with a W/Mo

soySauceNR1ce · Mar 29, 2006, 03:23 PM // 15:23

yea w/mo is pretty much good for running and farming if your new to the game

Sir Lorcifer · Mar 29, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

W/Mo FTW!

Yukito Kunisaki · Mar 29, 2006, 06:00 PM // 18:00

W/Mo is to me, mindless farming, that's what makes it easier!

If you want to farm things with more excitement, more risk, and in the end, more fun, then go Necro secondary...

The end result is the same however, as both classes can farm high end monsters, the thing is though, that W/Mo is usually dependant on enchants.

W/N is dependant on hexes.

So your area of farming determines which build is 'easier' to use...

I love W/N, it's just the Dark Knight setup vs. the Paladin setup.

That and being a Dark Knight with a heart of gold is a sexy irony to me...

Don't go W/Mo if you don't really like it. They're a dime a dozen. Warrior/Ranger has options as well. A regeneration heal, a pet, and at higher level some nice farming tactics traps...

Crom the Conqueror · Mar 29, 2006, 08:14 PM // 20:14

Yes, like wat the ppl said before, it is easier to farm with W/Mo combo, I know it is quite common, but hey, this way is the best way so far.

Get -Glad Defense as your warrior skills
-Ripose
-dealy ripose
-shield stance
-dolyak sig

And there are a bunch of other monk healing skills you can get that r really good for farming, like mending.

SHield of Judgment is by far and away the BEST farming Elite. It affect's EVERYTHING that comes at you save spells. You can kill damn near everything with it.

But it doesn't block like Gladiator's Defense.

Wow that is so far in the opposite direction of being true, I don't even know where to get started.

No having a w/mo isn't necessary, I would reccomend it for a first time through, just because you can be a little more resilliant that way. For your information you can switch professions as much as you want later in the game. W/E is one of the farming builds I use alot, physical or elemental resistance definitely helps in many cases.

That would be a w/me then.

Seeing as how you can have both Watch Yourself and Dolyak Signet around Lion's Arch, you are pretty much set for tanking at that point. Go W/N, use blood magic along with an offhand for some +energy.

Not by a longshot ^_^:

<rant>
1. Large energy consumption(with no extra energy from other sources, it'll take you to 5 energy...ok use Balth spirit. 1 pip of energy regen is almost like having no regen at all. Ok use bonneti's: adds to downtime, you'll get energy regen, but if you have balth spirit AND bonneti's, then these powers cancel each other, since you need to get hit for balth spirit to work)
2. Requires alot of attribute points to be very effective
3. Long downtime
4. Because of downtime, overall farming slowed
5. Only really effective against undead enemies (low level, you can solo, pretty difficult to solo, let's say, FoW. And in any case, just do a two man run, you tank and a smite monk doing the attacking)
</rant>

Not even top 10, not for a solo warrior farmer, anyways.

Bloodied Blade · Mar 30, 2006, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Go W/N

W/N FTW! Blood hexes are nice for pve since you can get life siphon on something for what is effectively mending with foe degen.

Also, you can change your profession once you're ascended, and imo W/N kills things easiest (ok, so Blood Renewal is rather risky to use in a fight, but if you know what you're doing, you're set).

I'll tell you one thing, drop the full knight's ensemble ASAP. The boots are more than enough protection.

I would go W/Mo because its easier and so on. But you can change4 your secondary profession when you have ascended and I didin't begin solo farming serious after i've ascended so then you can be a W/N if you want.

Full Knights=Silly because the absorption effect is global and does not stack. Having Full Knights is the same as wearing a single piece of it.
