Guild Wars 2

I already have a 62 Warrior..

However Here is the Delema… I enjoy every class equally.. I am looking to make a True main.. I know i can have all 80s.. But I want the first one to be the one I enjoy…

I am stuck between Elementalist, Thief and Necro.
I love doing sPvp/WvW and Solo Farming in Magic Find Gear..

I love doing AoE Damage.. and Being able to 1v1 People if need be.. Or do AoE while in zergs..

Any of those fit them best?

ele for sure, maybe necro

engineer.
/15 char

I personally love playing a Melee Ranger, but you didn’t list that as a choice. I study ecology, and have like 6 fish tanks and a dog. It’s pretty much a shoe-in for me for the pet class.

However, out of all those, I’d say Ele. Ele is just a lot of fun to play, and have EXCELLENT aoe for WvW (meteor shower for defending keeps.).

Also, dual dagger is a ton of fun.

So my suggestion is either Ranger or Ele.

Engineer is all you will ever need. Been playing one since BWE1 and have yet to get anything else past level 8.

Dont know if this will help but ive got 4 level 80s fully geared in exotics including weapons. Ranger, elementalist, guardian and a necro. At times i find it hard to choose aswell but i seem to be putting more and more energy into my necro just love him

Why would you need a main just play a class how you want beauty of GW2. Its very hard to label a class in this game for only playing one way and with a bit of work you can make any class play any way you want.

I do not much care for my Elementalist.

Scepter/Focus have their uses in WvW but are not strong enough to be carried around for constant world play.

Staff had great utility until the AoE nerf. The weapon still has its uses in WvW but they are mainly for lightly defended towers, in cases of heavy defended towers you can drop your AoE on siege and never have it hit. Your also a free kill for every other class you run into in your travels.

Ultimately the only true viable choice right now is Dagger/Dagger which is a blast at first but you come to realize its a 1 trick pony and the outcome of fights are not determined by your skill, but actually your opponents. If he dodge rolls Churning Earth, you lose, if he doesnt, you win. It gets stale after a while.

Thats just my opinion anyway.

I suggest necro, i use a necro for spvp and they are soo good, my main character is a guardian though (really good at group work like dungeons)

From what you say you like, definitely make an elementalist. In WvW the bomb the whole place to pieces. All 3 classes you like are kinda glass, so defence wise it doesn’t matter.

Why do you need a main char? What difference would it make in playing this or other chars?

I play with 4 character types. I think of all of them as “Main” characters. Pick one of each you might like to play and have that many mains. Don’t forget that getting to level 80 takes only a shortish time anyway so at 80 after a time of exploring, getting a legendary, etc you will probably make another character anyway.

I find it nice to swop between types, makes the game more interesting.

If you really feel you must have only one main then take a char type to PvP where your character is lvl 80 with gear, traits and skills. Mess around a bit with the dummies and other PvP players to get a rough feel for skills etc, might help you a bit?

By what you say u like doing id suggest Necro…A condition dmg spec necro can do decent aoe/ works well in zergs in Wvw, and is capable of 1v1’ing (though its generally not their strongest area)

I prefer Scepter/Focus (or Dagger) with staff secondary, Only downside is the best pve spec is minion master, but necro minion Ai is pretty much garage as of right now and no idea when itll be fixed .-.

Downside- Necros are generally not wanted in dungeons because of Condition dmg caps/ and minions get 1 shotted by just about anything.

Because you ll otherwise spread your effort too much. He likes WvW, yes you scale, but full traits, full skills and exotic gear makes a difference. Outnumbered we won because of superior traits and gear.

Don’t necro but people who play necro complain a lot. In WvW I see mainly ele. Thiefs if you enjoy going ninja

Thief is nice if you enjoy a very aggressive playstyle. It has the easiest key combinations of the 3, but you’ll need to focus more on your environment and timing.
Necro is good in a group, provides nice conditions and CC.
Ele is good as group support and aoe, but is also great at roaming. It has a less aggressive playstyle than thief.

Necro!!! For sho

Because there’s a lot of stuff in this game that’s character specific. Ascended gear is shaping up to be way more of a grind than exotics. Legendaries, obviously, even more so. Fractal level is per character, and for now it’s the only way to get ascended. In other words, if you want the best gear, you kind of have to devote yourself to one toon for a significant period of time. If you’re into it, the exploration “gold star” only shows up on that character.

So, perhaps unfortunately, you need a main.

I can’t really help choose between these classes, as I haven’t played thief or necro past 20.
