i have 10 pve chars, 1 of each primary profession and 1 extra slot for a pvp character that i swap out for w/e i feel like pwnin with.


Just get all of them, because eventually you'll get them all anyways :D Yes its that addicting.
And a lot of things crosses over to other campaigns, so its beneficial for your character to have access to all 3 + expansion.

Back to droknars running: you guys sure it's not possible with a w/mo any more?

You can do it without henchies btw. I used to do it with Sprint, Balanced stance, Charge, healing signet, endure pain, mending and healing breeze.
You can use charge and balanced stance at the same time so you can sprint and avoid knockdowns.

That's the build I was using, I can still dream the route :P

I used to love doing the shiverpeak runs with similar builds to that.. made me loads of gold aswell. Then i would gamble it all chestrunning at FoW. After nightfall came out though, or was it factions.. running basically died (on prophecies at least)

true. Dervishes are great runners though, if not best.

I believe its dervish are the best to run it, but its still possible of with others ofcourse. Assassin is also pretty good for droks run. Unfortunately i deleted my warrior who used to be able to run it so i can't try :P

So, I finally bought the game (Platinum Edition). I'm currently installing it but I'll play later. Is there a specific server you guys play on? And what class do you recommend I play?

There is no seperate servers like there is in Silkroad.
Instead guild wars have 3 joined main servers America, Europe, Asia.
Each server has things called Districts, which are just in place incase one district becomes full.
But the nice thing is. You can move between districts and even servers.

Thats a basic description, i cba to write anything in depth about it :p

I got that, and I can buy those rune thingies, but I had no idea where I could get a weapon of enchanting until I identified [I didn't know how to do that either >_>] some random drop and salvaged it. I need a GW tutor. T_T

So I started playing it, and I like it, though I am still getting used to it. My question is, what would be a good secondary profession for a monk?

He can change his secondary at any time after ascension; picking a secondary to level up with for pvp considerations is a stupid idea.

*hands in the air* don't shoot ! don't shoot !

seriously that was unnecessary. i just gave the best advice i could unlike yourself and if you know any better correct me and let him know while at it. what a trash to post i am a new player just like him and was trying to share the little i know, next time you see a can on the floor dont go screaming about why is there, pick it up and solve the problem.

I would suggest going for either a
Monk/Elemtalist
or
Monk/Mesmer

I would take to Mo/E though, cause then you can use glyphs to reduce energy, and that comes in handy if you need to cast spells which cost 15 mana or more (Heal Party or Aegis)

Hey guys I'm having trouble capping order of undead (Necro Elite) in nightfall. He have like around 10-15 guys guarding him and I just can't fight that many mobs all at once, I tried kiting and luring them 1 by 1, also mass blinding and AoEing, and I still can't cap the skill, any tips on how to take down his crew?
