Up to lvl 10 for all of these builds i would like to know what stats and skills i would need as well as make suggestions on what armors, accessories, and weapons, etc. i should strive to get/save.
Necro/Elem-plan on dealing death damage while being able to heal a party and using AoE attacks for solo if possible
Ranger/Necro-being able to attack from afar without bein in close range and as because in most games Rangers have low hp so would like to be able to absorb hp from monsters.
Monk/?- make any suggestions...wanna be able to hand-2-hand kick some ass every now and then and deal high damage while doing it.
Elem/?-make any suggestions...don't want to heal in this one except myself..i play a healer on another game and healing all the time sucks...wanna be able to multi attack/AoE
Basically for all these characters i want to be PvP and PvM(monster) and also be able to participate in some wars when i have time to.
New to the game! YES IMMA NOOB

First of all: you shouldn't even think about solo'ing anything in guild wars (except if you want to gank in gvg's, but I bet that you have no idea what that is 
)
nec/ele : try a MM build...
ranger/nec : rangers attack from far, don't even think about stealing health while staying away from mobs and keeping your energy pool alive.
monk/? : monks heal, I repeat: MONKS HEAL, nothing else (except gimmick builds)
Ele: If you want to nuke, go pyromancer.
@the mods here: pls move this topic to a better place.

Basically for all these characters i want to be PvP and PvM(monster) and also be able to participate in some wars when i have time to. Hi there. First off if you ever wanted to solo you should make your monk a monk/warrior. there is a famous build called the "55 hp" build that makes use of monk/warrior and it is really good for soloing. Note that as you go through the game groups will expect you to heal on your monk because there just isn't enough monks around. You can change your "build" whenever you want though so don't worry too much.
As for the rangers having "low hp" in guild wars all classes have the same HP. The only thing that seperates their survivability is their armor and their skills. Of course warriors have the best armor for taking damage.
As for secondarys it is always useful to take /mo as a secondary if you're unsure since you can just use it for a reusuable ressurect and nothing else if you want. Once you get to the end game you can take a quest to change your secondary whenever you want so you aren't locked into the first secondary you choose.
Also I'm not sure if you're aware since you said you soloed till level 8 but every town has henchmen that you can take with you when you go out. they are just computer controlled guys that come along with you. hold down your alt key in town and look the guys with [xxxx henchman] after their name.
As for weapons the easiest way to get a "perfect" weapon is to get one off of the various "collectors" spread around the wilderness. You could also just buy a max dmg weapon off a player. Note that collectors don't sell "max" weapons until the level 20+ areas.
If you want good builds for your classes check out the profession forums for whatever class you're looking for. There will be lots of people suggesting various builds there.

I wouldn't go 55monk as a newb to GW.
Try playing every profession in the way they are "supposed" to be used.
Warrior: kill stuff and protect team
Monk: heal stuff
Ranger: kill stuff from range or make doggies kill stuff
Necro: make undead stuff to kill stuff for you
Ele: kill stuff by letting it rain fire or whatever = destructionmage
Once you get the hang of everything try these:
Necro: your necro is a N/E. I hardly ever see any of those. You might notice a lot of MMs. Minion Masters and Spiteful Spirit necros are the most popular necros right now. MMs create their own small army of undead and SSnecros make stupid people die.
Monk: full healer, use 5energy healing spells. Go Mo/Me for nice energy management.
Once you get better look up on protting, bonding, etc.
Attributes to raise: healing and divine favor
Ranger, eh, most popular seems to be barrageranger. They attack several targets at once. Besides attacking from range, rangers can also spread degen with apply poison and interrupt enemies quite nicely (interrupting will stop the enemy from doing whatever he is about to do. If an enemy monk is casting a spell, you can stop it from being cast)
Ele. You said you wanted your necro to be able to heal party.. Monks heal, all the other profession DONT. Unless you're a utility emo. E/Mo can be a utility elementalist that uses utility spells like wards and heal party.
People will tell you to go nuker at first but nukers LOOk good and powerful but in reality they're quite crap. Only if you're really really good at it will you make a difference.

I'll give you a build.
Flashbot (Geez, I'm typing this build up a LOT nowadays.)
E/Mo (My version. It's basically standard, but...well...a skill or two?)
Energy Storage: 11 +1
Air Magic: 10 +3 +1
Healing Prayers: 10
Heal Party
Blinding Flash
Ether Prodigy {E}
Enervating Charge
Lightning Orb (In PvE, I would sub for Lightning Strike. P'raps.)
Windborne Speed (GvG/TA)/Gale (Nearly all others)
Heal Other (Mainly since I usually play with suboptimal healers - my * friends * who have a reaction time of five seconds -_-)
Resurrection Signet
By the way where are you?
(If you can do Warding, do so. But don't PuG as a Warder; it sucks trying to keep everyone (casters) in the ward.)

so far ive played a Necro/Elementalist...me likes...also i played a monk/everything cus you can do the quest and everything for each profession before actually choosing a profession....i dont like the monk that much really...die too easily trying to attack and heal a party(NPC party that is)...so i think ill stick with my necro/ele...seems to have the combination of skills i like better...warriors: well kinda reminds me of the Marines(no offense) always the first to be called and always the first to die....hehehehehe...I also like the Mesmer/Monk but again too many diff types of casting....I havent tried a Necro/Mes yet...when i get my own copy of the game i may try it out. Right now i play on a friends acct just to kinda get a hang of the game a bit. The only thing i dont like about this game is you have no storage keeper to maintain items only gold and that your inventory is very small and limited to how much you can carry so if youre trying to collect items before heading to old ascalon city makes it a little difficult

If imma necro/ele what would be my best skills to take on for the following:
energy management
dealing high damage
self health and healing
dealing damage
removing hexes
giving hexes/curses
energy/health consumption of the opponent(if possible)
farming
also i need to know where to put my stat points into
also i notice when youre creating a character theres something like PVP or PVE and Quest or something other...whats that about?

If you read the post it shows he is level 10, probably not able to switch secondaries yet... So by telling him you could change it in the desert I was giving him advice for later which will correct his current error. Yes?

.Quote: And not to be too opinionated or anything, but the last time I checked, this forum was about PvE builds Sounds opinionated to me, and you might well be right; however, when (and I'll say it again) you read his post he wanted information for PVP too, here's to make it simple for you: Quote: Basically for all these characters i want to be PvP and PvM(monster) and also be able to participate in some wars when i have time to . For your information monsters can interupt traps too, players in PVP arn't the only ones
. I stated in my first post that bloodspike works in TopK too... Quote: Let's mention a few skills worth considering if minions aren't your cup of tea. At level 10 he probably won't have "Icy Veins {E}" and according to you he's on his friends account, thus he'll be having to spend money and he is forbidden to do that from an assumption by you... Agreed? So you just proved yourself illogical and a hypocrite... If you read his post it doesn't imply he was on his friends account at all infact... I don't know how you assumed that; however, thank you for that extra information to help me prove you to be an...

That doesn't really alter anything I've said, as you sound prepared to spend money for skills, change characters or alter the account in some way... Like you would if it was your own, and you write more retarded than I do. It's hard to make sense of your rubbish sometimes. |
Necromancers obviously don't have any good damage skills.
As for this comment, that was about death magic skills specifically; therefore, I think you can agree that 8 death magic skills will probably not be the same ammount and type of damage as an Ele. In addition, "death magic" implies the skill is generally related to "death" or things dying... Where as ele's damage are unconditional. Granted "Deathly Swarm" is not, but most of them are Edge of extinction is Beast Mastery too, not death magic... Once again, it relies on an enemy dying too... You can't just nuke a target like you can with an ele. Not to say I wouldn't use a non MM necro for damage... I would, just not a necro with only death magic... Quote:
That is why I told you. No need to go on about it.

My appology for not reading it though. I read your first post, and replied to that^ I didn't see you say you were on a friends account, in your first post...
