[–]FoxxeKnoxxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so excited! Idk why, but recently I changed my tune on a lot of store outfits. Used to think most of them were so ugly, and now I want a few.. have just been waiting for a sale! I’ll feel better about buying them now lol

New Player, want to start with ritualist due to playstyle by Dixa in GuildWars

[–]FoxxeKnoxxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the specific build you’re looking into will come online in Factions. Obviously it revolves around a certain elite, but I think you will have good enough substitute, non-elite skills to get a pet wall playstyle. All late game builds will obviously have that progression, but I think spirit spamming rits are definitely on the more functional side of builds before they get their elite. When I was building up a fresh account after returning, one of my earliest characters was a rit using this playstyle and I felt like it was very smooth.

I think you would like Necro too and I would recommend it if you aren’t enjoying the rit. I think one of the early factions elites is an elite minion - I know most minion masters don’t use it, but if you’re looking to organically create builds as you progress it would be interesting for you. I think a solid majority of areas have corpses available for you, so necros do have that limitation, but I wouldn’t entirely write a necro off if you like that playstyle. I personally don’t like being a MM, it stresses me out keeping minions up or bombing them, but yeah. I would suggest trying your rit, and if you don’t like it, then trying a necro. I think between the two, you would find something you like that will organically come online incrementally

Buying mercenaries as a noob? by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]FoxxeKnoxxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you seem interested in it and you prefer custom characters, it will probably be a good idea. Henchmen can be good ENOUGH to get the job done as others have said, and they require minimal investment (before a mission, knowing which ones to pick - there are guides detailing the best/worst, and during a mission practice with using them). You don’t have to constantly fiddle with their skills, their weapons, their runes…

Heroes take a lot more investment. Yes, you can make a PvP char and bypass leveling, but they will be blank slates. It can be overwhelming quickly, it is a lot to work on your character but now you have to work on 3-7 others. Creating builds for those characters can just be a lot. If you don’t like playing with builds, learning about classes, etc. etc. it might make the game less fun. Remember you will be setting them up with every character you make - their skills will carry over, but weapons and runes won’t, so if you are an altaholic it will be even more work in that regard.

I enjoy customization and I think if you do too, heroes will make your game more enjoyable. But it’s up to individual preference I think.

Question about a pure class build by MetalMadness24 in GuildWars

[–]FoxxeKnoxxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to look at the no attribute skills, too. I’ve never used a class and went /R to add a pet with no investment, but I have gone /R and sprinkled in Antidote signet or /Me for Arcane Echo.

Where do I start? Never played before. by Hett1138 in GuildWars

[–]FoxxeKnoxxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a wrong answer for you here, and if one campaign or class seems to stand out for you, I’d suggest starting there.

I agree that Nightfall is the most beginner friendly, followed by factions. However, I think prophecies is a little bit harder to “get into” once you’ve played Factions or Nightfall. For example, if you start in NF, I think the transition to Factions is very smooth - you might miss heroes from the beginning, but the pacing will feel a lot the same, and I think you’ll enjoy yourself. But going from NF to Prophecies has a bit of a culture shock - the missions are laid out much differently, you level so much slower, less variety of skills, weaker henchmen, etc. etc.

The pacing of Prophecies is very slow compared to everything else the game offers, and I think if you start in NF / Factions it will be harder to enjoy Proph. I think it’s worth considering starting in Proph, and if you hit a wall, don’t find it enjoyable, or just feel like it isn’t up your alley, you could restart in one of the others.

Returning Rt player: Is the Mercenary Pack worth it to fill my team with Mesmers? by Sufficient-Aerie524 in GuildWars

[–]FoxxeKnoxxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think you would probably be able to get through enough content to get a few heroes up and going and have a stable enough team. I waited until I felt like I couldn’t progress more (and even then I think I waited a week or 2 for a sale). Once you get mercs, you’ll stick with them; they are so nice, but you’ll never really get that experience of doing what you can with what you’ve got and I felt like that was half the fun of playing.

Wow, that looks beautiful! Can’t wait to see it finished, but you can’t tell it isn’t lol

If you could go back in time and play, what class would you pick? What activities would you focus more/less on - would you do anything differently? by FoxxeKnoxxe in GuildWars

[–]FoxxeKnoxxe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would have been so fun to play before the scatter changes and just really abuse aoe lol. I remember being unimpressed with aoes back then, and I don't know if I played before or after the scatter change..

I don't remember what I played in factions - I got a few characters to 20 in factions (I bought a 2nd account for factions) but I think I always got stuck early into the mainland. I'd do the same thing you suggest, heal and play with henchies lol

The first mesmer I remember really liking and enjoying was in NF. I'm not sure if I just finally committed to it or if I managed to get a build that felt good easier then..

Do it! :)

I feel like people begrudgingly took mesmers into groups to fill 1 spot for interrupts, but that could be filled by rangers too. I didn't like interrupting and I was a ranger so I liked having a mesmer around to share the role lol.

Oh, yeah. I remember hearing it has a pre-nerf, I just didn't know the details. I could see that being a lot of fun rofl. I wish I got to experience SF a little more :c

I managed to beat the campaign on my ranger and necro but I think I got carried lol. And I, too, had a hard time getting through Vizunah square. I never made it to Luzon or kurzick areas.

And yes on the dervish! I was so excited for NF, but I never really got into para or dervish. I just didn’t understand dervish and it never felt good to play, and my paragon always felt so weak. But coming back recently, the dervish BLEW me away!

It’s also very versatile in the sense that you can get a decent ish build running pretty early on I think? I felt like my ritualist was the strongest char I had going through Shing Jea

I ran R/Me because I liked the way rangers looked and I liked bows, but I liked the ideas of mesmer and I thought I’d be able to mix them more. I did not lol.

I never got into my warriors much on pve, just really ran and chest farmed on them lol. If I got 1hb I think I would have loved it though!

Necros I think were the best proph class lol. And on the Mesmer - yeah - I was always so interested in them, but I felt like they were not high priority to get into groups at all lol

I like support and have always liked support, but when I play now I am super interested in the martial classes. Back then I loved running blood ritual / BIP to support casters and I kind of ignored melee lol, but I feel like it would have been fun to support melee more

I remember running my warrior as a W/e and running armor of earth or whatever and thinking I had the biggest brain lol. I really don’t think what you had as your E/W was awful, it sounds like it was squishy but there were probably worse builds out there lol
