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 :(

Level 11 : Pyromancer? Elementist/Mesmer.? Love it.

Got Black Dye dunno what to with it. bought it from a noobie for 50gold w00:D:D

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:

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
