Necros sacrifice their health quite a bit for some spells, so you might want to go Monk. Plus, if you are big on death magic, you can raise bone horrors and use the monk's "Heal Area" spell to keep them alive so you have a giant army everywhere you go :) Death magic necros love my monks, because I keep their minions alive as long as i can.

Mesmer IMO is a very good secondary profession, you can steal energy and avoid attacks. Mesmer is mainly for interrupting and punishing others for attacking. I my self have a W/Me and I am a bit of a shutdown tank, I strip enchantments and steal energy (as warriors have little energy) and interrupt with "cry of frasturation". My second character is a Me/E - a fast casting nuker, I can cast a firestorm on you in about 1 second instead of 4 :D

Anyway I would recommend mesmer, and if you want to see all the skill then head here.

Sigh.. not really the place for a rant per se, the economy seems to be whacked out in Guild Wars right now.

I bought the game after they nerfed the farming areas, and it seems gold is pretty hard to come by, and decent weapon upgrades all seem to be costing a fortune or two, something I lack... Even with my character now at the Ring of Fire, I can't seem to afford the multiple dozens of plats needed to assemble my dream weapon :(

Vendor that bad Jackson.

As far as money goes, my wife and I just keep doing Nolani Academy over and over with our mesmer/monks when we need quick cash. Healing seed/ward against melee/inferno/phoenix...once you open that gate, you have 30-40 mobs dead in two minutes. Lots of money, Charr Hides (for making those fur squares), minor runes, and weapons for our lowbie toons drop all the time.

I haven't been able to play much in the last month with my job and all.. but I am getting back into it..

And it has really changed...

I am starting with a new character because I can't seem to get a decent group to get by "The Wilds" with my ranger.

I always end up on the group that has the monks who rush in first followed by the mesmers/elementalists.. and the warriors sit in the back with bows...

DON'T SEND YOUR SOFT SKIN IN FIRST! arrrggg..

FINALLY hit 20...

My wife and me dinged at the same moment with our E/Mos, leading a group through the Riverside Province mission and bonus.

We'd like to join a good guild now; we want to go to Droknar's, but do it the right way--with a party that fights through. Paying someone to run us there kind of goes against the way we want to play, yet it's difficult (if not impossible) to do so without support from a guild. Henchmen aren't an option, and the only 20s hanging around Beacon's Perch are W/Mo charging people to run there.

Plus all the other benefits of being in a guild are nice, too...GvG combat and questing with non-morons being the ones I'm most interested in. Does anyone have a good (preferably 15-30 person) guild that's looking for three mature members? Well, my brother in law may or may not be mature, but at least he's polite and can spell.

Very team based, but you can get henchmen if you decide that you don't like running with other players or you're a man short. Keep in mind that henchmen are not as smart or high levelled as players, but do ok in a pinch (especially the healer). Easy to understand, simple MMO, too. Monsters drop plenty of gear and money, so you never really have to grind endlessly to get decent stuff.

The best monks i've seen actually had 40-50 hp with the right build and they were friggin tanks (Going solo in the underworld)

yes, they mostly have a hp of 105, with 5 superior runes and the right skills..look around at other guild wars forum for videos and the right attributes/skills.

Yeah guess its pretty popular now, the monk solo Underworld farming build relying on Protective Bond. Checked the monk superior rune prices lately? They're getting nearly as expensive as a Sigil :blink:

Just started PvPing though, best run I had so far was 10 straight wins in Random Arena with a team of 3 monks (me included) and one warrior. Long drawn out fights, each of them... they couldn't kill us but we lacked firepower as well :) Guess some of them left due to fustration, but oh well, a win's a win :devil:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
