Hi peeps! I just want to know which profession is the best in 1 vs 1?

I heard the Mesmers are the best in 1 vs 1. Or is that NOT true?

Anyways, need to know. I want to make a new character that will definately own that lonely monk in TA and pulverize guildies in Scrimmage.

Well, START POSTING, FOR MAD KING THORN'S SAKE!

Sincerely,
Da Light.

Lonely monks in TA? You hope that nobody will try to help him?

Mesmers are best in 1 vs 1. Against a caster, Shame + Diversion = byebye. Against any kind of melee, Insidious Parasite, Empathy, and Visions of Regret on Paragon or Warrior and Spiteful Spirit on others. But in TA you can't ,,solo'' a good monk.

If you know what profession your opponent will be ahead of time, mesmer is probably the best.

Cripshot/BA ranger.

Mesmers are terribad unless you can guess melee/caster correctly.

What can't you solo the monk? Sorry I have to ask, it's just that I haven't ever solo'd a monk.

You can pulverize guildies with a Mesmer in a 1v1 scrimmage, but you're not going to find a lonely Monk in TA...

...unless you're fighting a noob group that doesn't know how to defend their Monk.

miskav · Jul 20, 2008, 10:37 AM // 10:37

You wont 1v1 vs a monk in TA, maybe once in 200 matches orso.
And it's Terrible to base your bar on that 1/200 chance.

Well..... What if... I found a lonely monk in AB! Lets just say that I found a lonely monk in AB, that can't find his team (lol)! Then what can pwn him?

By the way, "around", are you sure that Ranger can kill 'em? I mean, what if the target is a monk with Condition Removal and Healing Breeze and such stuff? And what if it is an interrupting mesmer, aye?

Monks, in a 1v1 you can just outheal every single piece of damage. As for everyone saying oh noez a mesmar wif [diversion] and [shame] = monk dead, remeber this is a 1v1 what other damage is that mesmer going to be applying? your only covering him for 12 secs with a 6 space gap. Them 12 secs he can kite from wand attacks, and if he did take any damage hes got 6 seconds to heal himself. Which as we all know is more than enough. and please dont start talking about interupts, because then you really are limiting your bar with less and less damage. and the monk is going to see that and cast a minimum amount of spells.

if a assassin shadow steps and kds fast enough they can out-do any other profession

Hehe, this reminds me of a friend's story. He's a mesmer, and he once did scrimmage with a monk. It was really funny. The monk knew that he had interrupts, because many mesmers have it. So he just stood still. And my friend could only start when he started. And after a minute, the monk started to run and got the opportunity to get some spells going. Then the monk came back to him. Then my friend was obliterated in a matter of seconds. Dunno how. He never told. But he said he got owned.

Anyways, are necro's good in 1v1?

He got wanded to death. It's so embarrassing that most people don't talk about it. Because really, in a 1v1 match between a mesmer and a monk, the monk always wins the wand fight.

Alot can "pwn" him, because he probably sucks. Seriously.

Anyways, get back to business! Lol!
What profession is the best?!
And now we exclude sins, paras, dervs and rits!
(note: Shadow Form is overpowered

)

Abedeus · Jul 20, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

Ranger and mesmer. Ranger with Remove Hex and Mending Touch + BA/Apply can solo anything. Oh, and pin down.

Diddy bow · Jul 20, 2008, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Without the new ones ranger i rekon, they could just cripshot

joshuarodger · Jul 20, 2008, 02:21 PM // 14:21

wow i can't believe there's not a flame war all over this thread.

anyway, a monk should never lose 1v1. he probably won't win much either though. a lot of draws.

there really should never be a 1v1 anyway though either a monk's team is alive and doing damage or they're all dead and he should just resign.

Sadchaos · Jul 20, 2008, 02:22 PM // 14:22

TBH I find mesmer good, even with shame on a warrior, in a 1vs1 there should be some self heals. Just need a diverse bar. SIGNET OF ILLUSIONS FTW
