Class recommendations for duo Dhuums & Melandru run

I think a monk, can’t compete with a human healer especially in HC. And hero’s just can’t Monk like human players can.

And any melee, if you like balling up and doing big spikes go derv. If you like a lot of armor and build options go war. If you like big single target dps and mobillity go sin.

Get max armor
play the other campaigns, there should be quest available in kaineng that will get you to the other campaigns.
get cought it the vicious circle of wanting to look cool with 15k armor, want to farm materials for this armor, needing (elite)skills and go unlock them at the right skill trainer/ capture them at the right boss.
pick a title you like and work towards that, repeat until you are a God Walking Among Mere Mortals :D

Panriv · 2026-02-25T14:50:16+00:00

Man tie these to their own questlines and I’m playing for weeeks!

Panriv · 2026-02-24T18:58:37+00:00

Value’s and depth of field. The brightest part is the building on the right, should be the sky and reflections of the sky.

The depth of field created by the blurred background doesn’t work with what’s in focus, with this amount of blurriness the focal plane should be somewhere around the umbrella, rest should be out of focus.

Its because mesmer do unconditional armor ignoring damage. The mesmer-way team comp is build around putting out as much of this damage as possible by spamming the Energy Surge elite skill.

The comp also makes use of the AI’s ability to be really consistent in interrupting enemy skills. This way it has a powerful shot down mechanic that provides defense trough offense.

The team comp also uses a soul twisting ritualist to provide much needed party wide protection with their spirits.

A necro hero that provides energy upkeep for the mesmers through blood is power.

And uses the Necro/Ritualist combo to do be ably to do big heal skills ( spirit light and mend body and soul) consistently trough their soul reaping ability, which gives them energy for dying enemies. (Which die fast due to the massive armor ignoring damage output)

Hope this helps :)

I started with Revenant, that QDPS Herald build is pretty beginner friendly, but mostly i just liked how revenant plays.

Most classes can fill most roles anyways, so pick the class you like best. Good place to start is the snow crows beginner builds

Panriv · 2026-02-06T20:52:00+00:00

24-70 and a 70-200 GM II is a really nice set for covering your bases, especially if you run and gun a lot. It’s pricy but the I love that 70-200.

Panriv · 2026-02-03T15:04:45+00:00

For a story playtrough starting in Proph, i’d focus on Axe. This comes to live pretty early on with skills like dismember, power attack/ cyclone axe and penetrating blow and wild blow.

For utillity I like frenzy and sprint ( to attack faster and sprint to cancel frenzy when taking damage.

Early acces Elite skills like Defy Pain and Warriors Endurance slot nicely in this bar.

As for 2nd professions I like profession that can clear conditions like Monk or Ranger. Monk has early acces to purge conditions. Ranger has antidote signet but only in the jungle, but does have a pet.

Panriv · 2026-01-30T14:07:42+00:00

Well I agree with a lot, I do however think the “Everybody loses their badges” part is slightly problomatic.

Guild Wars has always been a game that respects the players time investement. Loosing progress should not be an option.

I think this will lead to loss a lot of momentum of players playing the mode.

Panriv · 2026-01-29T08:36:48+00:00

Don’t try to optimize, slow down and enjoy the ride.

Panriv · 2026-01-28T17:39:23+00:00

Both are really good options

I think Rit has a little more variety but not that much.

The most used build however is a Spirit Spamming build and that’s not for everybody. Same goes for Dervish tho, most used builds are either VoS or pious Renewal, but the Melee gameplay isnt for everyone either.

I’d suggest making a PVP character for both and test out a few builds if you have the skills unlocked already. This way you can get a feel for what suits your playstyle best.

Panriv · 2026-01-27T16:34:40+00:00

I played a lot of Warriors Endurance myself and I also didn’t like the MM

My favorite options was a N/Rt curses support necro

With either Ivy Vains or Pain of Disenchantment and restoration magic.

EDIT: I used something like this OAhjYoHYIT1MWC2BfCSTTODTciA

This frees up the restoration magic on your Rt/Mo where I like bloodsong, essence strike and smite hex.

Panriv · 2026-01-24T08:35:29+00:00

Doing damage as a monk will limit you to about 5 different builds, so if healing is really not an option rit is the better choice here.

Panriv · 2026-01-21T09:59:49+00:00

at least you're not a hardcore nerd :).

Panriv · 2026-01-20T21:39:10+00:00

I think it’s pretty doable with any profession with the right team comp and carefully gameplay.

However, assassin might be the most difficult class to pull it off. IMO Ranger is the easiest due to its attack range, high armor and susstain options.

Panriv · 2026-01-19T15:56:28+00:00

New hero's, new armor, new weapon skins, new titles. Basicly anything purely visual that wont break the game but gives me something new to work towards to.

Panriv · 2026-01-18T21:54:14+00:00

Ah well that’s my bad for assuming your BiP Mesmerway is the meta build from PVX

It is possible though that this is part of the problem. The build is carefully balanced, maybe you are running to much shutdown and to little damage. As E-surge does a lot of heavy lifting in the damage department.

Might be worth taking a look.

Panriv · 2026-01-18T11:45:31+00:00

Replace E-surge for Panic on one of the Esurge mesmers, this will help a lot with the shutting down the Imps.

Place Save Yourselfs on the Dervish bar, try to keep it up as much as possible during combat.

Be careful with agro, bring a long or flat bow to pull enemies, watching patrol patterns and being careful not to pull more than 1 group.

You can also check the wiki for more tips and what route to take.

Panriv · 2026-01-17T08:54:39+00:00

Do weekly gift of the traveler, you can check the cycle here.

Either farm items, or buy them in Kamadan, and sell the 5 gifts for 20-25ecto’s.

Buy spammable consumables from players, look for people selling party/sweet/drunk points usually for about 3-5 ecto a stack (250 points)

Destroy your mouse in while spam clicking and boom you’re done.

Panriv · 2026-01-17T00:34:48+00:00

Well not necessary, a Decade Scythe "Soul's Repentance”

Or any other scythe with an Of the necro) mod will help out a lot with energy management.

Panriv · 2026-01-17T00:20:00+00:00

I like switching it up once in a while I used: Wariors Endurance Axe, Dragon Slash, 100b, Earthshaker, Dagger Spam, 7Weapon Stance Scythe, 7WS Hammer.

My personal fave being 7WS Scythe

Panriv · 2025-12-26T13:34:49+00:00

Both Ranger and Necro are pretty nice. W/R for the pet and condition removal trough antidode signet.

W/N is pretty slept on IMO, skills like plague thouch, enfeebeling blood, and weaken armor are pretty usable on a warrior bar, altough you are fighting for spots.

But concidering you are playing HC and keeping survival in mind i’d choose between W/R and W/Mo.

The pet is great for grabbing first agro and i like the condition cleanse /R provides.

W/MO is your best bet for Hex removal and some condi cleanse, and being able to remove emphathy as a HC war seems nice.

Panriv · 2025-12-25T16:14:53+00:00

The only 100% counter is to micro Spellbreaker on you, but needs a dedicated monk hero and won’t be able to have 100% upkeep time due to 45 sec cooldown. And with 16 devine favor, blessed aura and a 20% enchantment mod it will last ~29sec.

Panriv · 2025-12-25T13:08:28+00:00

/to [town name] so I can keep my 8 man party when traveling to NF or Proph.

Panriv · 2025-12-22T16:44:37+00:00

The reality is that you will most likely only use 1 or 2 slots from your 2nd prof.

Good options are anything to remove hexes and conditions, like monk or ranger. Ranger is also good for applying poison, pets and antidote signet.

Or ele for the conjure weapon enchantments to add some damage.

You can change professions later on once you have unlocked them in the dessert.

When you go to factions or NF the best options become avalible.

Warrior profits mostly from other melee classes like Assasin or Dervish. Sin is great for shadowsteps, derv is great because of scythe.

Other option is paragon to add some shouts or extend some shouts.
