K well yesterday i got prophecies (finally

) and i got factions also, i got these characters:
1) Warrior/Monk Level 20 - completed factions fully
2) Ranger/Rit Level 20 - like a quarter done factions
4) Elementalist Level 4 - lol started this character in prophecies as new

What do you guys recommend playing? I kinda wanted to try farming on warrior cuz i couldnt before but then i always focus on one char... Id like warrior to complete prophecies too :\

Since you've already done Factions and therefore know how the game is played and don't need to ease into it, I'd say concentrate on whatever class floats your boat.

Warrior is always cool in my book, but wammos have been so common that many people don't want them in groups. They do have the best items though :-).

focus on the warrior, when you need a change play one of the others (playing one character can get old after a while, and if you ele is pre-searing aka prophecies, that is a nice change).
You should play what you want, and if you want to finish prophecies on the warrior please do so.....the other 2 will still be waiting for you if you want to dust them off and give them a run around the chapter!

I'd recommend playing through Prophecies with a new character first, and then going back and doing it again in Hard Mode with the warrior so you can get some actual challenge out of it, otherwise You'll be playing about 75% of it fighting against low level monsters.

nonsense! I've seen plenty of crappy Warrior/Ele...

Imo make a new Tyrian-born character and go through Prophecies, then send your whammo through... And for the love of god Make sure you're not a whammo noob

Who said anything about going W/E? W/N is just as good, if not better than W/E for PvE.

If you do not wish to make a new Tyrian char then take your War to Ascalon, explore along the way, and start doing missions from that point on.

War and Ranger are 2 of the best classes to play in my personal oppinion. Wars let you get down and dirty in melee and still let you control the party. Rangers give you a wide view of the battle and can pick up on trouble fast calling it out to other party members to save the day.

As for your secondary you should unlock all of the ones available to you and test each to find the best fit for your playstyle and the map/mission/quest your on. In several missions War/Rit is extremely usefull when paired with Splinter Weapon or Nightmare weapon.

Since you just got prophecies you have to check out the Pre-Searing It is a must…
Start a Mesmer / Elementalist or a Necromancer / Mesmer or a Monk /Elementalist

What’s life without a little pre

For the record most war/monks are not really insane, we tend to use Rebirth as our only monk skill and 7 war skills.

Its a very smart way to play if your with Hero/Hench parties as you can escape and rebirth them to keep fighting.

--> if your W/Mo's bar has Mending in it, never play it again =D
--> if your W/Mo's bar has 7 war skills and a Mo rez, feel free to ping your build and be brag that you aren't a Wammo, you are a W/Mo

personally i would work on the ele. i think that they are the most versatile class. I take mine solo farming, running, tanking.... you name it he does it.
I also stack my titles on my ele.

but thats me

nothin wrong with goin w/mo for a soft rez or mendin touch. i personally prefer w/e for both pvp and pve, the amount of dps you get from the conjure builds can be amazin

That is so true

Being a monk will allow you to become better at ANY prof, but especially melee ones.
