Hi all,

I just purchased Guild Wars Prophecies (GotY edition) and Nightfall over the weekend. I like to PvE to start with. Will dabble into pvp when i know more about the game. I have tried out almost all classes until atleast lvl 8ish

I have been reading thread after thread on builds, PvX Wiki, suggestions, "the best pve class" etc etc... And i'm totally lost. I know that there is no "best" class and it all depends on your style. But most threads and builds iv found are from 2006-2008 so im assuming these are abit out dated.

I'm wondering if anyone can Shed alittle light on a class and build i can use to start with to finish my first playthrough.

keep in mind i have the GotY edition which comes with /bonus weapons

Thanks

hi, its allways nice to see new people joining guild wars

let me refer you to http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide...acter_creation
i advise you to explore the wiki's a bit for better undersanding of the game

besides the official http://wiki.guildwars.com/
you have http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

and for builds http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

i perfer playing warrior but elementalist, necro and monk are also popular

the derevishes are a bit sucky but they have promised update comming

paragons and rangers also suck

mesmers are a briliant class but a bit dificult to play well imo

assasins and ritulists now are in the spotlight but you need to get factions to play them


have fun :3

This thread is fairly pointless. You said it yourself: what you play is dependant on your style. How do we know what you enjoy? Play a few professions and see which ones you like. Us posting our favourite professions isn't helpful at all.

PS: Don't worry about how people say profession x is crap. They might be less useful then some of the other professions but they're by no means useless. All professions have decent builds and can complete all PvE content with a bit of effort.

I agree with marty here all professions can beat all the PvE content and with 10 characters(one of each profession) who've beat all the campaigns i agree some professions are harder than others but not by much especially when going through for your first time there are classes that are underpowered FOR HARDMODE!!! but not for nomal mode their all relatively even, and to quote you, what u play is dependant on your own style...
