The Monk a description of the Guild Wars Monk and links to information about the Monk profession.
After many years of meditation and actions of divine purity, one may become a masterful Monk. Through prayers, a monk is able to provide healing and protection to those in need, and apply retribution to those deserving holy punishment. Within a party of adventurers, the Monk provides the greatest protection. Although Monks are not as gifted as other professions in the ways of martial weaponry, they are quite able to defend themselves, especially if they also recieve additional professional training.

The Necromancer a description of the Guild Wars Necromancer and links to information about the Necro profession.
To be a Necromancer is to be at one with the dead. Both are feared and often disliked by those who cling to this mortal coil. However, many Necromancer's do not deserve the reputation bestowed. Indeed, Necromancers often provide their skills for the nature of good. After all, it is no mystery that we all die eventually.The Necromancer is a master of the afterworld. However, in order to gain such mastery, the Necromancer must have an abundance of energy. Many of the skills available to the Necromancer provide additional energy to the self, drain the life of the living, or provide life to the dead. Necro Attributes

The Ranger a description of the Guild Wars Ranger and links to information about the Ranger profession.
The Ranger is a master of the nature that surrounds us all. As a child of the forests, Rangers have an innate ability to converse with the various beasts which inhabit both land and skies. And, to a less degree, the ability to control the four elements of the world. Even with these skills, the Ranger requires a focal point for the elements to manifest. However, unlike the Necromancer, the Ranger forgoes the use of wands, and uses the bow and arrow in their stead. Additionally, the Ranger may posses many skills in the area of trapping, and in use of language to encourage. Ranger Attributes
