I'm not sure what the God of laziness would be, but my god is whoever Bokka's god is (no, not lyssa, isn't she the god of beuty or whatever? )

Maybe Dwayna, since her followers are so lazy, they can't even rebuild her statues...

My main character is a Protection Monk that dabbles in Smiting when the occasion arises... that'd make her a follower of Balthazar.

I'm not sure I really have a main character... I haven't played long enough for one in particular to stand out, but my Warrior is a devoted, bloodthirsty follower of Menzies, my Necromancer and Ritualist follow Dhuum, and my Elementalist follows Abaddon. I have to say, mortals truly killing a god? Unlikely. Mortals helping stage the god's 'death' so as to further his plans and let the mortal (leecher) Kormir believe she has become a god, on the other hand... seems like something the God of Secrets would bring about.

Not to mention Abaddon can dance way, way better than the other gods. He's so good, my entire team challenged him to a dance battle and we got served.

Greneth. I love necros. My belief is this:

1) you will die one day, Dwayna's powers will not keep you alive forever; Balthazar will send you to Greneth; Melandru just shrugs and says such is life; Lyssa - can you really trust her?; Abaddon - a god beaten by mortals, can't worship anyone I can beat up.

2) Greneth and Dwayna have a contest every year, let it snow, let it snow.

3) Withouth death, the planet of Tyria will be over populated and everyone will have the survivor title.

Generally I say all are on the same line. But Lyssa and Melandru are the exceptions which they are a bit higher than the others.

War, Life, Death and Nature seem a bit dull to me. I do like Grenth, mainly for how my Dervish looks as his avatar, but I'm gonna go with Lyssa and Abaddon - Illusion and Secrets seem interesting to me. I think though, Abaddon would have to be my favourite of the two because Margonite simply look amazing.

None [N/A]

1: Dwayna, shes the leader, the strongest, and is hot...plus healing rocks.
2: Melandru, earth magic and is equally as hot as dwayna.
3: Grenth, he gives great strength to all who follow him.
4: Lyssa, i love her for the energy but the siamese twin thing is weird.
5: Kormir, i like what she stands for but its hard to get used to her being a god.
6: Balthazar, hes a stupid wammo...
7: Abbadon, hes really lazy and biased.

Kormir or Menzies both are pretty much the same but Menzies is the half-brother of Balthazar so might have the same views on war. But we all know there are only 5 Gods. opps had to eddit it Menzies cause he's evil lol. and I forgot Lyssa is 2 gods so mybad there are 6.

Got to be Grenth, everyone dies eventually, and where do they all go?

Plus apart from Balthazar, who else has their own acension-only area?

Arguement no.3, Grenth has lots of cool classes in his back yard, Necros, Rits, Dervishes, Water Eles, all are good.

And I'm a necro, go figure.

Actually, despite the skill names, Grenth is the only god that doesn't give something to Dervishes. Scythe is Balthazar, Earth Melandru, Mysticism Lyssa, and Wind is... Dwayna. A bit weird with all the scythe imagery and Grenth-related skill names, I know, but there you go.

On the other hand, according to the lore, Assassins are nearly as closely associated with Grenth as with Lyssa. I guess they just didn't want to make both new classes in Factions associated with Grenth...

I would disagree with that. I think that the scythe is partly from Balthazar and partly from Grenth. It's a martial weapon, which indicates that it's from Balthazar. But the scythe is associated with the grim reaper, death and therefore with Grenth.

Dervishes could have gone with any martial weapon for their link to Balthazar, but went for scythes for a link to Grenth as well.

Indeed. I think Dervishes are supposed to be like Elementalists - worshipping all gods equally as a profession, although individuals might worship one or two especially.

It's just that it happens that all of the other god shrines boost one of the Dervish attributes, while a Grenth statue doesn't offer anything specifically for the Dervish.

That said, from my memory of the lore, the implication is that the Dervishes use scythes because it's a weapon of the peasantry (at the risk of muddying the waters, have you read Mort? Scythe for the common folk, the nobility get the sword...) rather than because of any death-related imagery - Grenth doesn't actually seem to have any special connection to scythes. Instead, their choice of weapon is more of an affirmation of their humility and (supposedly) humble beginnings.

I think that Grenth although cool is not all that. what i mean is he became god of death be defeating Dhuum, and became god of water when Abaddon was imprisoned.

Abaddon was probably the smartest out of all the rest. I mean he orchestrated all the major events in the Games exept for GW:EN. Plus the others gods didn't do much of anything to stop him.

Made a slight alteration. It's not impossible that the release of the Destroyers and the awakening of the dragons and so on was some sort of deadman switch from Abaddon.

And the Charr storyline is known to be a result of Abaddon's scheming - without which the Charr would still be bottled up north of the (intact) Wall.

Then Dwayna, for the healing is nice...

Lyssa//Grenth. Both an equal amount.
IRL I'm a performer by trade, so Lyssa should be a no brainer.
Anyone hazard a guess why Grenth, as they tend to contradict?

Lyssa. My favorite character is Assassin but his secondary is Mesmer... Shadow Arts and Illusion go together pretty well.

Kinda seems like each character falls under a different god though.

Kormir: Nothing is so cool as truth... but she's a rookie.
Grenth: He has style... but he lacks the touch... well... he has a lot of touches, but he lacks the right ones.
Balthazar: I do like fire, but I don't like Bearded Warlike Guys.

Grenth owns all the gods. Imagine being the lord of death, coming and going for dead bodies, slicing and dicing people that disrupt your mission.He is a great and fun god.
P.S the reason why fun is because of his skill,Avatar of grenth!
P.SS his skill is only for first prof is dervish.

Does anyone think for the bad guys? What about abaddon, he's cool and evil.

It's a tie between Grenth and Lyssa. The idea would be great but it might take some retooling of the classes to let them serve whatever god they choose. It'd be a great replacement for the Luxon/Kurzick set up.

Well my 2 mains chars are monk and sin. So either dwayna or lyssa.
