Hey, I don't know about you, but im getting pumped for the annual snowball fights this winter. I was just on wiki looking over all the skills specific by proffesion, and I think that Rits, monks, and warriors have the best skills for this game. I would be interested in hearing about what you think is best and why. Thanks alot and gl in the snow!


PS sorry if this is the wrong place to put this thread, please tell me where i should put it if this is wrong. Thanks!

I like to play Ritualist in the Wintersday Arena, mostly because with Jack Frost you can keep other players away, and or give runners some back up. Also if someone decides to be intelligent enough to 1 vs. 1 you you can easily win withy Jack's help.

P.S. for those who do not know Jack Frost is the Spirit summoned with the Rutialist [only] Snowball Skill.

Snares > snowball arena

The ele's Icicles is win. Between Avalanche, Icicles and Mega Snowball, it's hard for the enemy to run anything.

I also quite like the Warrior's shout, because movement is key.

And, of course, the Spirit of Jack Frost is pwn for camping places and just general killing.

The Para, Derv and Ranger all get shafted, though. All the other skills are useable.

More Warriors is more win. 4 Dwayna Warriors = best team, which should win virtually every time with competent players.

You need an Ele or two if you want to avoid being Grenthed.

Rits and Monks pull their weight, but aren't clear game winners like Warriors and Eles. I'll give Mesmers a bit of a pass because interrupts have some real value, but the rest of the classes are slag.

Personnaly I like Elementalist, (haven't played Warrior but sounds fun), Monk, and Ritualist.
