I'll make a Paragon mule and a Dervish mule. They can join my Ritualist, who retired and became a mule just recently.


Unless ANet confirms that non-core professions get skills/armor in campaigns other than their "native" campaign that is.

If I buy it...

Perhaps Necromancer/Paragon, for some odd reason I cannot comprehend.

Dervish/whatever. I might make a Paragon later if the campaign is worth going through that many times (Ranger, Warrior, Assassin, Monk, Dervish, and my Ele still needs to be levelled to 20). I seriously don't know how people do it with one of each type of character.

Well, a Necro/Paragon would work for an MM, as some of the paragon shouts would work for the minions (but not ones that require attack skills and stuff)

Leader's comfort would work like a charm as a great heal.

Edit: Oh, and I'd love to play a D/Mo, and spam reversal of fortune. Though they'll probably nerf it somehow.

I'll first make an Ele/Mesmer, for I didn't want one in the first two campaigns; the female Elementalists were - imho - all butt ugly. I hope, in Nightfall they will be more appeatling to me... and maybe I will change my Ranger to a R/D - seemed to be fine in the PvP preview. Javazone ftw. ;D
No idea what I'm going to choose as a second class for my future dervish... maybe warrior... or 'sin... not sure yet.

If there's finally a male mesmer armour set that doesn't look moronic (and isn't 15K, so I don't have to spend 50 hours on him before he starts looking good), then I'll finally take that plunge and play through Nightfall with PVE's second-least-popular class.

...Assuming Australian stores get the prerelease pack in time, otherwise (with only two slots) I might just make a D and a P, since both seem interesting at the moment.

D before P, since I'll want to take my Paragon to Tyria to cap Fevered Dreams.

Hopefully i can get my Elly or my warrior over Elona before making a new char like maybe a Warrior/Dervish or warrior/Paragon for armor boosting and hp

Can I ask what you think PvE's least popular class is?

Neither, I've enough PvE characters to handle.

I think I'll finish Nightfall with my Warrior and Necromancer, can't be arsed for another mule to join my Assassin.

Probably a Paragon/Dervish(for skills) and then probably a Monk or an Elementalist just becuase I haven't done those classes in PvE yet.

But it might be a nightmare situation. Dervish might equal the new W/mo or Assassin in the mind of the general idiot and refuse to group them or join their groups (On the other hand, they might say "cool, the grim reaper, let's get 7 of them!"). Paragon might equal "OMG BUFF BUFF BUFF CALL CALL BUFF WHY DONT YOU KILL STUFF FAST OR NUKE?!?!"

Probably a D/N (forget touch rangers ).

But I'm not completely sure, yet. Paragons look real stunning in their Romanesque armor...

Either a D/P for skills, or a D/Mo for green farming.

I'll make a paragon/something. Not sure about the secondary. I have a feeling that P/W will be abused for good reason, for shouts and an IAS, so maybe that

If you can merge accounts again for another two slots then that's perfect for all I need. I'm DEFINITELY makin a Dervish/Warrior, and the last slot is goin to be a Prophecies pre searing character only, because Paragons don't appeal to me at all, and pre searing owns and I miss it .

PARAGON/WARRIOR!!!! I really enjoyed playing that combo during the preview event. So I can't wait for Nightfall to come out and start him up.

I won't make one. I'll instead pretend that Nightfall just adds new PvE content for my existing characters that I worked so hard on, and try to ignore the fact that they added new classes. And I will hope that for chapter 4, they will stop adding new classes.

i recently just bought 2 extra slots giving me 8 slots total, which gave me every profession except for necro since i have one pvp slot. so my next character in Nightfall will be a necro. As for the new characters, i seemed to have loved the paragon in the pvp preview.

I understand not wanting to make one of the new profs, I didn't make a Ritualist or Assassin, but I do plan on trying out a Dervish and Paragon. They appeal to me more.

Just because you don't want to play any new Profs, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't want to.

And as for the too many classes "dilemma" that seems to be plaguing many, here's a solution:

Cycle your classes. Take your Warrior and Monk through Cantha, and your Ele and Mesmer through Elona, and your Ranger and Necromancer through Chapter 4 (for example).

If it's really that horrible a problem for you...

I wanna make a male dervish but i need to see if they look good and dance cool.

I dont think there will be dervish hate as with assassins right now, even if they got nerfed. They have the very same armor of an assassin but they have better defenses, AoE spells and the scythe is a perpetual Cyclone axe. All this features are very appealing.

I used to play a D/Mo the Nightfall weekend but i never used the Dervishway so i do not depend on CoP for playing. I play secondary monk almost always for PvE because i can res, and also it seduces me the combo enchants + mysticism.
