Curse

I got my girl to play GW with me. However she is not very good and I don't know how much she will improve. I would like to hear everyone's opinion as to which class is the most important to a party's success. She will play a ranger and I think we'll H/H most of the game. What prof should I play to give us a high rate of success. We'll be doing normal mode so we should be fine but she is easily discouraged and I want to maximize our chances to beat every quest and mission on the 1st try without wasting time. Oh and prophecies chars only, I like that storyline the most. I was thinking monk but then I leave all the offense to her and henchies, and I don't think she'll follow my calls effectively.

To be honest, Monk.

I know you said that you don't know if she's going to follow your calls effectively or not, but the Heroes and Henchmen will.

If you don't have access to Heroes, the choice of Monk is definite, since Hench monks in Prophecies do NOT have Condition or Hex Removal.

You'll prolly have to bite the bullet and be the Heal/Prot-Bot.

No hopping over to other continents to pick up skills?

If it were an option, I'd suggest a "godmode" dragonslasher. That's a good combination of offense and (totally broken) defense.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to go with monk.

Definitely the paragon hands down. I mean if you didn't have [SY] you wouldn't last FIVE SECONDS!

Monk..............

Have legend skill hunter and a bunch of tomes so all skills are fair game. I was thinking of getting some heroes. Dunk, Ogden and Olias would take very little time to get. If I do that then godmode looks fun. Warrior is the only class I don't have a toon for. The only negative is her account has Proph/Factions only.

No heroes for her. Thanks for the info so far.

Patronizing much?

IMO if she's as bad as one of my female ex-roomates from college, your going to want to go monk to heal her poor constantly dying ass. My roomate had no understanding of aggro whatsoever. I swear the girl was suicidal. She would charge into 20+ groups of enemies almost twice her level...and she was a mesmer. I had to go R/mo WoH whenever I was with her.

Monk but there's a million and one of those in black Obby, chaos gloves and yea...it's like an army =\ of ugly.

Opinions are lovely.

Anyways, for prophecies only, I'd say warrior. Monk henchies will be able to get through normal mode easily, depending on how good you manage to hold aggro and how fast your party is going to be killing enemies. If you don't think monk henchies are going to be able to keep your party alive, go monk.

draxynnic · Jan 18, 2009, 11:01 AM // 11:01

If you're willing to go and get heroes and you haven't played Warrior before, I think the choice is obvious. Dunk and Ogden will allow you toget past some of the shortcomings of the henchies, and if you go on and get Gwen as well, that'll give you interruption, which is the other main shortcoming of the Prophecies henchmen. Of course, she could surprise you and prove to be an effective interruptor with her Ranger.

Either way, though, if you set Olias up as a MM, he'll probably minimise your problems quite effectively.

faraaz · Jan 18, 2009, 12:07 PM // 12:07

Proph only, essential profession? I'd have to say Necromancer...

Yachou · Jan 18, 2009, 12:39 PM // 12:39

If you have all campaigns, I'd say go imbagon, and always bring a minionmaster and at least one healer hero with you. Decent damage with excellent support and all that.

Just remember that she's bad because she's new, not because she's female, and that new will pass. Help her cap an elite or two, buy her max armour if she doesn't have the funds and explain that running into 6 mobs at once is not smart. Chances are you won't need to martyr yourself to keep her alive.
