What should I make?

Hi all,

I recently returned to GW original from a long break. 3 years or so, to find I remember absolutely nothing about the game.. I wanted to ask what is the best class to build?

I know each to their own and all that, but is there something I should really avoid (Warrior/Elementalist) for example.

Thanks There isnt anything you really should avoid in the game. A lot is possible and as you said its all about your gaming experience, and what you find fun to do.

Are you a Frontline/melee kinda guy, more of a damage dealer, Do ya enjoy nagging foes, or do you feel a support role is more your kind of thing?

There are (at this point) 3 classes that dont really compete with the rest (opinions on this may vary though) but the dervish, mesmer and paragon arent that popular.

This leaves you with:

melee: Assassin and warrior
damage dealer: Necro and elementalist (ranger, but hes also a nagger with interrupts and daze)
support: monk and ritualist

The Ritualist is one of the more popular classes nowadays. With the ability to protect and heal allies, summojn minions and summon spirits they are a very versitile class, that enables a player to find groups easy and its also very easy to get your way through the game

If you ask me, make a rit. If you like melee, go with warrior or sin, if not, necros and eles are also good options. A party rarely goes without a monk.

Avoid a derv mesmer and paragon.

My 2 cents
