Guild Wars 2

Hey Everyone, I’m Quite New To Guild Wars 2 And I Was Wondering What Class I Should Use, I’ve Used The Elementalist Quite A Bit But It Gets Kind Of Boring. I Like The Long Range Kind Of Stuff Such As The Elemntalist And I’m Not A Very Big Fan Of The Close Up Combat Unless Its Quick Combos And Good DPS , As I Am Not Very Knowledgeable About This Game Yet I Really Hope You Guys Can Help Me.

P.S I Only Play As The Asura Or The Char And Maybe The Human

Thanks In Advance

I’d say make each one and go play with them in Heart of the Mists (all skills available) and play around.

They Aren’t Called Classes In This Game They Are Called Professions. (I Thought That If I Type Like You It Might Help You Understand)

It matters not whether they are called professions or classes. People use both terms anyway.

OP, try out the ones that sound interesting. Make a character and play. If you don’t like how it plays, you can either store that char and make another or delete it and make another to replace. You do have 5 character slots to experiment with.

Why do I tell you to try them yourself? Because there is no way I can tell what would feel fun for you. I never thought I’d care to play a Necromancer or a human for that matter. Yet my human necro is the one I have spent most of my time with (568h/1136h) so far. I enjoy all my characters and intend to eventually get the missing (Warrior, Thief and Engineer) in my team as well.

If you like loger range combat then maybe you should give Ranger, Mesmer, Elemntalist and Necromancer a try. Guardian has some mid range and I believe engineers have things in their sleeve as well. Warriors can shoot bows, so they aren’t entirely hand-to-hand combat either. I know too little about thieves to really talk about them.

Please, abandon the capitals on every word. It makes text hard to read.

Play Any Of This Soldier Profession – Warrior Or Guardian If You Like To Be The Soldier Type.

Play Any Of This Adventurer Profession – Ranger Or Thief Or Engineer If You Like to Be Mid Range Type

Play Any Of This Caster Profession – Mesmer Or Elementalist If You Like To Be Caster Type

Don’t Bother Playing Necromancer.

I can’t really know what you’d like, I’d say do as Garambola suggested.

By The Way It Would Be Helpful If You Stopped Typing Like This, As It Makes Reading A Pain For Many Of Us. It Is Also The Signature Of Another Forum-goer And He Would Be Very Upset If You Stole It From Him.

This.

Necromancer is a ton of fun, despite the gazillion bugs.

I couldnt decide either, so I made one of each profession and got at least one of each race. (2 humans m/f, 2 asura m/f, 2 norn m/f, 1 sylvari female, 1 charr male).

Also.. please ditch the extremely annoying habit of capitalizing EVERY SINGLE word. My brain hurts..

Try switching weapons on your Ele. You were prolly using Staff, yes? It is Slow, meticulous weapon that is highly effective. But Slow and boring. Dagger/Dagger Ele is more fun than most melee are in this game. You get OMG amounts of swiftness, surprisingly good DPS and a fun weapon. The one that I do not Like is Sceptre/Focus. Too static for almost no return. I shall see(lvls 25-50 are my S/F lvls)…

Can’t recommend Mesmer either. They have only 1 good weapon(Greatsword) and that weapon is almost identical to ranger’s Longbow anyhow…

Ranger is awesome. Mobile as hell on Shortbow, bursty on Longbow, nimble with Swords. I Like Ranger. And with a good pet choice it becomes awesome!

Warrior is awesome! I recommend you try Rifle with “On my Mark!”Bola Throwsomething+Signet of Rage(focus Precision and damage)! 2nd weapon is Longbow. They can’t catch you and even if they do, they are dead by then!

Others, I have no Real experience with. As others said, try them all. I suggest trying them at least until lvl 20(when you get all the utility slots) and 10points into Chosen Trait line. Trust me, the difference between only Bola Throw and Bola Throw+"On my Mark!" is huge.

What Gorwe said. Dagger/dagger elementalist is tons of fun to play, lots of swiftness, gap closers, easy ways to rapidly disengage and you can stick to fleeing enemies like glue. It also has one of the sexiest combos in the game imo with Churning Earth/Lightning Flash. And if that wasn’t enough, you can also conjure a hammer, bow or great sword for some temporary variety in how you play. The big caveat to all of this is that to really unlock the potent power of the elementalist you simply have to learn to dance through attunements, sitting in fire is going to really gimp you.

I’ve played most of the classes and found that all had their pros and cons.For me the irony is that my first toon was a fire traited staff elementalist that I grew very bored of in her 40s, so much so that I deleted her! And here I am back with one and having huge amounts of fun with it.

This post illustrates very well that all players are different and enjoy different things
I have a staff Ele and I love my Mesmer so much I made a second one ( staff/ Great Sword rocks, seriously )
My rifle, sword/sword warrior bores me to tears.

Try each profession and try all the different weapon sets too, since it can make a huge difference in how a class plays. Your best bet would probably be to go to the heart of the mists to try them out at max.
IN the end it just comes down to what clicks with you, if you enjoy the play-style of a class you will have fun playing it.
