Mordrem Profession?

[Lina.1327]

I do a lot of roleplaying, and I’m making a mordrem character. What seems to be the most accurate profession for one?

[Murdock.6547]

Anything, really. Mordrem are a race and can (occasionally do) use the same attack methods and classes as players.

 

That being said; perhaps reaper fits best as it highlights the fact that mordrem is using bits of zhaitan/deathy magic.

[draxynnic.3719]

The general guideline is probably 'as much plant magic as you can'. Sylvari ranger is probably closest: using a longbow makes you close to a Mordrem Sniper, while going druid can approximate healing Mordrem Guard types like Preservers, and you get access to even more plant-related skills than from sylvari racial skills alone - particularly if you take the plant animal companions from Path of Fire.

 

Broadly speaking, most Mordrem Guard seem to be closest to ranger or warrior, with Stalkers being obviously thieves. Conventional magic use seems to be fairly rare among the Mordrem, although Tormentors do appear to be Necromancers.

Silvary necromancer, ranger or thief.

I wouldn't ignore warrior as an option - there are a fair few Mordrem Guard that behave like warriors. Restorers drop standards (and wield sword and shield), Punishers are basically empowered hammer warriors, Blockers may be best considered to be shield Warriors, and even Sharpshooters might be rifle Warriors, although a Deadeye with limited stealth capabilities might be a better representation for them.
