Without a doubt, there is profession discrimination within Guild Wars. Classes such as the Ritualist, Ranger, and Paragon are usually considered "inferior" compared to the other professions. While many people blame Anet for "nerfing" the skills of these professions (such as the Ritualist's Ritual Lord/Spirit nerf, and the Paragon's Defensive Anthem nerf), the reality of the fact is that the other classes are simply better at what they do. It's difficult to tag along teams using these professions in modern team builds without someone saying "Why are you a restoration ritualist? Bring your monk because we need protective spirit here" or "We need an SH Ele. Barrage doesn't do enough damage."Regardless of profession discrimination, Guild Wars is still a great game to play. However, think about dusting off your ritualist next time and making him or her "see" the light (literally).
i've been playing as a ranger since day 1 as my main character and wouldn't change it. for those who say that barrage doesnt do enough damage dont know how to play a ranger. the classes Ritualist, Ranger, and Paragon are all support characters. you cant expect to tank with a support character and thats one thing ppl dont understand in the world of guild wars. playing team builds, for me, do not make for a fun game ... i try to avoid team builds because it makes the game too easy IMHO thats why i dont do pickup groups in game any more. ppl are so hard core about doing it the easy way than just having fun thats why im glad i have the guild that i have!
