If you had to be a person living in the game-world, and assuming you couldn't change your professions, what combination of professions would you be?

I'd probably be a ritualist/ranger.

Most likely a Warrior/Monk, because of their superior strength and healing abilities! :P

What about from a "lifestyle" standpoint? What kinds of things would you do on a day to day basis? Keep in mind that being attacked would still hurt, and while we could all rez at shrines, it'd probably still be an unsettling experience.

One thing that really isn't addressed in-game is how common people would react to you. Would you be welcomed into a town w/ a small army of undead? Would a bunch of worshipers of Balthazar get pissed off at you because you use his avatar to make fun of him? If you were a monk, would you constantly be annoyed by each and every stubbed toe or infected wound? Would little kids keep bugging you for rides on your pet if you were a ranger? Would ritualists have to keep turning down requests to summon the spirit of a dead relative or beloved pet? Would nobody trust an assassin?

I can see it now - "Guild Wars the Reality Show"...

Well since I would be a Ritualist and people asked me to summon the spirit of a dead relative, I might "accidentally" summon a spirit of rage and it might "accidentally" kill them.

Weirdly enough, even though my main is a necromancer... don't think I'd be one IRL. Suits my husband more than me. I don't know what I'd be, probably a ranger. Mine already looks like me, and the lifestyle of a ranger (traveling, the nature, pets, bows...) suits me more. I'd have to add /W because I could be up, close and personal with my foes if I want x] (bunny thumper!)

Touch ranger. Why? A nomad/wanderer vampire. What's not to love about that?


Funnily enough, I've never actually played the build, though...

I would be a Me/E so I could quickly cast elemental spells... For boiling water, making icecubes, conjuring wind spells to be directed at windmills, and erecting mud/wood dams.

Yes, there will eventually be windmills... I mean, if Tyria would stop warring for two damn minutes, then they'd be pretty far ahead technology-wise.

With the boxers the ele males wear you are definitely ele material. Hahahaha.

As for me, I'd be a Wammo of course. Thrusting all over the women, men, inanimate objects. Running head first into waves of creatures doing acrobatic moves and slashing at them while my Healing Hands and Mending keeps me alive.

Lay down the law with my mighty shouts.

Save the damsels in distress and then thrust their face.

Run shirtless through the Jungle tackling the foes of doom.

Stand upon the highest mountain and roar like the lion, for I am king.
