Coming BAck

Well i played guild wars when it was new and i played a ranger..

i just picked up factions today and wanted to see how it was.

What are the builds people are running today i want to make a character that will get into PvP and PvE groups (not a monk) i was thinking of an Assassin or necro ..possibly a ranger again if they can get into a good pvp group.

any help would be great thanks..

you should've gotten Nightfall and not factions

why??

i will probly end up getting it but if i got nightfall then would i of been able to still play an Assassin

assuming you like playing with real ppl in your group, faction was good choice. but i wouldnt make sin cause they are very sought after in pugs until the last two missions.
ive been havent played a necro recently but i hear there some problems with soul reaping.
i would suggest creating either a rit or an ele as they can dish out dmg(rit not as much as ele but still a fair amount) and the rit is also very good healer if you feel like dabbling into that from time to time.
heck most restoration rits i run into are then most monks in pve.

Not problems, but changes in soul reaping. Necro is still a viable profession to play. SS still works, MM still works. My suggestion is to at least try it for yourself and see how you like it.
