Yes, I gave GW another bash and since I wasn't engrossed with another game this time (was too addicted to WoW when I bought GW to give it a second glance to be honest - although I've never knocked or disliked the game) I got into this weekend after Luvian made me remember I actually have it [img]smile.gif[/img] .

It isn't as intuitive as most MMO's IMHO and by that I don't mean it's not simple or dumbed down, I mean intuitive...which isn't a bad thing eventually.

Anyways, I have some questions if anyone can help. I've been messing around with a Monk/Warrior but I've heard some tell of that being a gimped combo. People say War should be my main then Monk, because I won't be able to equip warrior armor. Are there any advantages to this combo or is it all downhill? I like the 'feel' of a Monk and don't really want to start off as a tank but would prefer it the way I have it. I'm only level 5 atm anyways so just looking for some insight.

What exactly is the deal on main class? What do you gain/lose as opposed to taking a class as secondary? For example, a Ranger/Monk or a Monk/Ranger..what is the difference?

Am I right in assuming weapons are found mostly in drops and armors mostly bought? As a thumb rule I mean.

Do dyes work on armor sets or only one piece of armor? Is the dye then lost when used?

Where do I buy my epic mount? j/k
