I'm pretty sure there are Canes that do Chaos damage.

thanks!
Is having a mesmer going to actually work for pve? I mean...they arent really made for damage...but having an elementalist as secondary should remedy that....
any suggestions/comments?

I have a PvE Me/W and he does quite well. The DoTs and other abilities from the Mesmer class come in handy with "hard" enemies such as Stone Elementals and Warrior mobs.

I was wondering, are there any rpers playing, and by that i mean people who role play as their character and are into the creating that aspect other than pvp? if so please respond and get in contact with me!

This might be a stupid question, I am not sure, but is it possible to just buy an account (for a reduced cost hopeflly) and not buy the box, cd, etc? (download the client from their site?)

I am very new to Gulid Wars, so plz dont hate me if this is like the 1236182361872638 same question u have seen... anyway...
I looked at many builds in the builds directory, and i usually see builds with at least 3 attributes they each max out. Is it possible to have 4 attributes? Now, i kno its not possible to max out each... but i was hoping to have attribute points like this: 10/10/5/5. That is possible... right?
Thank you

As long as you have attribute points to spread out between them, you can have points in all eight attribtures. The reason people usually have 12/10/10 or whatever is because they are filling a niche in a party and only need those attributes for the skills they use.
Axle_the_Red
are there ever skills you can possibly miss? As in...jumping from pre searing to post? or anyother way?

Cool! Thank you Tavenlen

The reason most people split their atts up into 3 is because by maxing out 3 attributes and using spells in those makes your character more powerful than splitting up into eight. Say you want your monk to be a kickass healer? Put your points into Healing Prayers (and divine favour) Rather be a smiter? Then stick them in Smiting Prayers. Your ranger needs lots of points in Marksmanship to be really effective with that bow.While you *could* divide all your points into all eight, but that would make you a jack of all trades, but master of none. the most effective thing to do is decide your niche, the things you want your character to excel at, and divide up your points accordingly.

Hey everyone,
I'm probably one of the biggest newbs ever. I have never played an MMO before in my life. So far I'm doing pretty well. I just want to ask you guy's opinion on something. Well, I have a Ranger/Necromancer, I'm now lvl 8, I'm just having the biggest problem on trying to figure out what to put my attribute points into. I know that if I hurry up and pick something, I will be fighting much better than I am right now. I was just wondering if any of you guy's out there have a R/N and what would be a good combination of attributes? Because, right now, I am just lost! Thanks!

Hi SweetPea22,
I'm a R/N @ 10. I have been allocating most of my attributes to, Beast Mastery, Marksmanship and Expertise. I find this to be a good mix. I belive my Hog helps me loads, he's level 10. The Expertise allows me to generate energy faster. The Markmanship attribute is also good, this allows me too inflict initial high-damage with the bow. For the necro i am allocating most of my points to death/blood magic.

Thanks Sillent Spence for your input! =). I decided to try out putting most of my points into Marksmanship, blood magic and beast mastery and see how that works out for me. Luckily, you can change the points around b/c i have the hardest time deciding, hehe. Thanks again!

I have a ranger mesmer and I definitely recomend going high into expertise, you'll use a LOT less energy

I did a quick search of this forum and did not get any results, I've seen the online manual at Guildwars.com. What I want to know, is there a printable version of this manual? or the one that comes with the retail box? I purchased my Key from NCSoft online. So I don't get a printed manual. I would like to have one though. Manualy printing the large number of links in the online manual would not be a good solution. Thank you in advance for any helpful response.
ps Why is there no official Guildwars Forum? Or is there? I do not see a link to one on the Guildwars site.

i'm kind of disappointed with the types of drops occuring in-game...i'm pretty sure the GW gods are doing this to piss me off lol. here's my question: why am i always finding weapons that have little use for the weapon i'm trying to master? i am currently using a W/Mo lvl.8 trying to hack away with a sword. every time i kill i wind up getting some bow or hammer, and it's getting kinda annoying because the sword i'm using is a short sword with 6-8 damage. other than trading, what is a good way of getting a good sword?

What are these for? Anyone?

I cannot for the life of me figure this out I was reading some guides and came across numbering like this: 12/20/20. What does it mean? I think it has something to do with attributes or energy or ???

After you ascend you will be in Dragon Lair, zone out of that area into Tomb of Primeval Kings, it is there you get a group and enter the HoH.

wait a minute.. u mean to tell me that Tomb of Primeval Kings aka Tombs = Halls of Heroes?? which mean a = b = c , sigils can be dropped at TOMBS??

Hi all!
I just recently bought Guild Wars because it looks like a great game and I was in need of something to take up my time since I've been sick a lot lately =/
Well, heres my question: I play the nuker/skill spammer/etc (not sure what you call it in GW, but thats my normal build) and I was wondering what the best class (combo) would be for a pure pvp build. I have heard that you can do directly to max lvl and have a pre built pvp char, but whats the fun in that? That brings up another question, if I were to make one of these "PvP pre builts", do I get to select the skills I want for the character or are those pre selected too?
I have some other questions, but I'll spare you all (for now.. ><) Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm sorry if these were answered somewhere else (I havn't gotten to all the stickies yet =p)
Thanks.

*EDIT* Sorry for invading on other people's questions! =/
*EDIT 2* I have another question: Is there anything you can ride/drive/etc for faster transportation in this game?

Also keep in mind with the sigils, if your team wins in the HoH, only 2 of the team members will get the sigil. All the rest get squat.

I bought the official guide and it says to speak to Aidan in Wizards Folly near the Fishing Village for a quest. Problem is I can't find the guy. The directions in the guidebook are vague. I've been all over Wizards Folly and all around the Fishing Village. I just keep running into farmers and guards. Is this quest non-existent?
I noticed some other things about the guidebook that are out-of-date too like saying you can do a quest for necro chestplate. I can't find that NPC either or talk to Collector Hatcher (found both NPC's) for necro footwear who says he's not collecting anything.
But if anyone can give me better directions to find Aidan, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Nevermind my post. I found the guy. Yay!

hi all. i am having a n00btastic time playing this game. i've finally lvled up my w/mo to a double digit lvl. i'm kinda happy about that, but there's one problem: he sucks big-time. as i have just realized, i 've been trying to increase too many of my attributes; currently there are attribute points divided among healing prayers, protection prayers, strength, tactics, and swordsmanship. as a sword-wielding w/mo, what attributes should i be lvling up? also, it's been kind of hard finding a good sword. i'm currently using a 6-8 dmg short sword from way back at the beginning of the game. i'm not sure what stuff is good or what i need to trade to obtain a good sword. any help would be great thanx.

In a PvP match (arena), what is the number by your name?
Mo/R9
Where and how do you ascend? It seems that it isn't (as I previously thought) just getting to level 20, becuase in the latest update it mentions the following:
That hints at the fact that you can ascend before level 20, am I correct?

This meant that characters who had already advanced to level 20 prior to ascension received no reward for ascending. Now, ascension gives a fixed reward of 50,000 XP.
