User:The Gates Assassin/Warrior, Ranger, monk is easy

If you have been directed to this page, you have said that either a warrior, ranger or a monk is an easy class to play in organized PvP. Well, you're dead wrong, and here's why.

What we mean by Warrior
We don't mean a build that has 6 attack skills(Possibly different weapons), healing breeze and rebirth. We mean one of three main builds: Shock Axe, Dev/Magehunter Hammer, Crip Slash (Less commonly). Let's go through it.

Shock Axe
So, what are your roles with this build?


 * 1) Deal damage in spikes with Eviserate and Executioner's Strike.
 * 2) Deal damage for pressure while not spiking if spiking isn't going to happen.
 * 3) Catch runners with your IMS + Bull's Strike whenever possible.
 * 4) Shock before spikes, quarterknock with Disrupting Chop.
 * 5) Maintain frenzy during spikes, release it when you are GOING to be attacked (Not WHILE you are being attacked).
 * 6) While falling back, shock/Bull's Strike anyone attacking your mid/backline to help them escape (That's right, you shouldn't be in the frontline while running away. You're in the backline helping them escape).
 * 7) When monks are in trouble, bull's/shock warriors that are attacking them.
 * 8) Call spikes.
 * 9) Call tactics.
 * 10) Be sure not to overextend, and if you do, that you tell your team you are going to.

10 things you have to make sure you are doing. I'll repeat. Ten (10). Eight skills, 10 things to do.

Now let's look at an assassin builds and see what it has to do, for instance, Shattering Assault Sins:

Shattering Assault Sin

 * 1) Spam 1 2 3 and possibly 4.
 * 2) Maintain Assassin's Remedy and IMS.

...2. You have two things to take care of. That takes almost no skill at all to do. While effective, a good warrior is more effective. Why? All the disruption, the better spike damage while still being able to pressure targets as well with auto attack damage/Skill damage. While it's harder, it's generally better(Not to mention less squishy so you can extend more).

What we mean by Ranger
We don't mean Hunter's Shot + Power Shot + Melandru's Arrows + 2 Preperations and healing breeze. We mean one basic build, Cripshot. The elite varies, giving it a different usage, however most ranger builds are generally the same thing:

[build prof=range/monk expert=12+1+1 wilder=9+1 marksm=9+1 protec=3][Optional][distracting shot][savage shot][apply poison][mending touch][natural stride][troll unguent][resurrection signet][/build]

What you have to do

 * 1) Remove conditions from yourself and others.
 * 2) Interrupt things, but deciding what to interrupt with what.
 * 3) Gank
 * 4) Spread Degen

Optional Based on Elite Changes

 * 1) Cripple the enemy warriors.
 * 2) Cripple the target.
 * 3) Cripple enemies after you in a gank.


 * 1) Gank Archers.
 * 2) Assist in Spikes.
 * 3) Spread higher degen


 * 1) Interrupt things.

Other elites can be put in, however those are the main ones.

That is 5-7 things you have to do. How many of them are easy? Spreading degen probably is the only easy one, and maybe assist in spikes. Interrupting is hard due to flight time and having to use the right interrupt. Removing conditions becomes second nature after a while (From others). Ganking takes communication skills which not everyone has. So rangers aren't as simple as they look.
