IMHO it's pointless actually TRYING to work up profs. just keep climbing and they'll work up eventually. thats how i see it
That is true in some ways...
For me personally... I started out joining catas... was nub... had no real gear... could not contribute to the team effectively...
This got me kicked out from some of those games... I then started doing some Arenas to get gear... died alot... noticed profs...
gaining at a faster rate... then scratched my first character to see if this was a better idea for my gaming style...
Well... it turned out that gaining those profs proved to be valuable in a few areas.
I got to stay in catas more often / was able to deal adequate dmg (being helpful)
Got a bit of respect because of my sword rank, this being from 2-3 other Guild leaders
which one of them asked me to join their guild... (as you can see, I declined)

true but having + 20 ee while climbing can be handy cant it?
yes, but i'd rather spend that time just climbing than actually trying to farm prof. i've never actually tried to farm profs but i've got plenty. that 8axe prof i have is mainly from grinding from 1 to about 20 or 30 a few times.
In a sense you are farming profs... by solo'ing Arena upto level 20/30...
There were the other reasons also... how to improve my character at certain levels... this was done by welling whites...
After awhile... I started noticing that I could well effectively 100% as I got better profs and gear for certain levels...
During that time... I managed to "WELL" some nice strength charms level 10 / 15... which upgraded my gear and make
some fg... so I stuck to it.
Now that I am on MONK... I have not done the proficiency farming... I want to get to Ninja so that I can get profs again.
Might take me some time... but will get there eventually...
