Hey, I have just one slot left. I gave my sister 2 of my 8 slots, so this is what I have not counting her characters (all PvE)-
Ranger
Monk
Necromancer
Assassin
Dervish

I can't really decide what class to do for the last one. I've started warriors a couple times and they were alright, but I don't see any high-end applications for them really (farming, PvP, etc). I've had a level 20 Ele, but it wasn't that fun and inferior at farming to my monk and assassin. Any suggestions for a versatile, fun class? Perhaps post links for specific builds too?

EDIT: I'm keeping all of my above characters, either for farming/fun/memorablia. My ranger in particular- I never play him any more, but he was my first and I wuv him <3

Many people are going to say you shouldn't be sharing your acct blahblahblah...but you should make a warrior!

I was kinda hoping for some reasons or support for any suggestions. thanks though.

You could try a Mesmer? Their pretty interesting, they do very well in pvp. You could work something out for pve.

PvP slot. Thats what I do. Useful for farming Zkeys once a day for money, as well as farming faction in JQ/FA.

Insaneguy75 · Aug 26, 2009, 03:00 AM // 03:00

my ranger farms Zkeys (6k runs of Z Elite). I've never had a ton of fun PvP'ing anyways, but I'll look into it. What's a good PvP class?

I would go with mesmer, overall really fun to play with. and they are pretty good in pvp if you know how all the spells work against different enemies.

I'm surprised no one has said this already, but you need to pick what you want to be, not what others tell you to pick. We don't know what you like, etc.

That said, I was going to suggest Warrior but you said you don't like PvP, and I don't really play PvE.

I'd like to get into PvP, because I think I really would like it. I've just never gotten started on anything good.

If you'd like to start PvPing, you should either play around in Random Arenas with different characters, using PvX provided builds to get a feel for the class or roll a Necromancer or Elementalist and go to HA and look for a job. These 2 classes have the easier jobs, although Elementalist is probably easier.

Insaneguy75 · Aug 26, 2009, 03:19 AM // 03:19

Oh I already have HA unlocked, I more meant high-level PvPing. Thanks for the tips. I made a PvP mez for now, gonna see how that is.

HA is the second highest form of PvP. GvG is the highest, but I didn't think you should be jumping into that right away (let alone being able to find a guild that will let you GvG). Mesmers are quite hard to begin with, so you might wanna try something a little easier.

Jaigoda · Aug 26, 2009, 03:56 AM // 03:56

You've already covered the core FotM builds right now, tbh. Para's are good and can easily find a place in pugs with half a brain and have a few farming opportunities. Warriors are also good and have a very similar place to Para's. Mesmers are pretty meh unless you just like how they play. Rits and Ele's are pretty much in the same boat (though Rits are more useful now..).

However, if you ever plan on doing PvP, I'd save that slot. In fact, I try and keep two slots open for PvP chars, because my PvP monk is like 15 months old and is also my mule. But overall, it's up to you to decide what you want to do with the slot.

**Marty Silverblade** · Aug 26, 2009, 07:12 AM // 07:12

If I was in your position I'd make a Warrior (extremely useful in PvE + PvP, and can farm raptors as fast if not faster than any other profession). It's up to you though. Make what you want to play. Another option is to buy more slots.

gerlin · Aug 26, 2009, 07:15 AM // 07:15

I'd also go with a warrior. Useful in PvE, good in PvP. It's a 100% physical class so if you don't like to go close then i'd suggest a mesmer.

If you plan to get into PvP, it's really better that you have a PvP slot, as others said..

Otherwise, i would go with a warrior, but it's only my personal opinion..(IMHO it's not worth to use your PvE characters to do PvP, unless they're the characters you play and like more, because it's a pain to get the equipment needed for PvP with a PvE character..)

Dzjudz · Aug 26, 2009, 11:18 AM // 11:18

If you do PvE and not PvP, I would suggest a Ritualist. They are extremely fun to play in PvE now, with all the buffs and shorter spirit casts. A warrior or paragon for some adrenaline fun is a change from the other physical classes too.
