A question posed...

[Belial]

Alright, so here's the situation since I haven't been keeping up on much class info. I'm the type of player who prefers physical DD (ARC50/LNC50, currently). I have no real interest in mage classes whatsoever (will keep ranking mage classes to 20 for beneficial solo abilities, but I have no plans to ever take them past that rank unless a large perk comes up). So, as it stands I currently have GLA30, PGL31, MRD33. My question to you experienced folks is, what would be the best class to rank next for DD support? I've taken mage classes & Gladiator out of the mix for obvious reasons. My real problem is I'm fairly uncertain as to whether MRD or PGL would be the next most beneficial class. Although I do see some benefits through MRD, I'm starting to lean more heavily towards PGL. Any thoughts/experiences/points would be greatly appreciated.

pgl if for nothing more than sw II and featherfoot II,gld you might want rampart II and sentinal,then mar bloodbath II,foresight II and defender II(all those are 40+ so the others you could get faster)I may have forgot some...Im sleepy

I pretty much agree with the Cap'n.

Go with PGL for a bit to get Second Wind II/Featherfoot II at R42, then rank GLA up to R36 to get Sentinel at least and MRD all the way up to R50 for Bloodbath II/Defender II/Foresight II. In whatever order you feel comfortable with!

MRD is my main so I have that down. The other two classes and getting those ranks are what I'm working on myself right now. Seems like the best course of action for skill collecting!

Yea, I'm leaning towards Pugilist first, and the main reason is the heavy enmity that comes with Marauder. So I'm thinking Pugilist, Marauder, Gladiator... if I ever get to that point, as I imagine another DD-oriented class will pop up before I finish. lol. Thanks for the input.

I know it might go with out saying but Prime conditioning is a class trait that is almost always equipped no mater what for me.

That's how I feel, it's just one of those "should always be there" traits, along with Fleet of Foot and Out of Sight for any non-tank.

Very true. I have 3 traits i never change no matter the class...Prime Conditioning, Fleet to Foot and Fastcast.

I often also leave my non-THM with Transcedence and my non-PGL with Seasoned Veteran just for the 10% boost on heals.
