Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,
I’m a returning player and im not sure what to main in PoF (i also have a 80 boost to use). Note that i have an 80 necro and an 80 ele. I am lookimg for advice. Im looking for a mobile bruiser or DPS, oreferably melee ( but im open to ranged options as well) Here is , in order of priority what i like in a profession:
-engaging playstyle
-Mobility
-cool animations/flavor
-survivability
-not too complex (throw engi out already).

Here is a list of classes i mained and loved in other mmos:
-Slayer,Archer (Tera)
-Bruiser templar (ESO)
-Fury/glad warrior, Frost mage (WoW)
- Warrior (BDO)

Give me your recommendations

Thanks, what i meant by “a main for Pof” is that ill get back in the game at launch. I definitely wont level another toon though, always hated this game ’ leveling ranger seeemed pretty fun to me, especially Soulbeast

You can’t go wrong if you go with thief.

Talking about thief

-engaging playstyle > YES
-Mobility > YES
-cool animations/flavor > YES
-survivability > YES (NB: thieves have many dodges, stealth and teleports, but they are pretty fragile. These skills ofc allow you to survive many encounters, but you must understand that if you got hit or cc you are going to die instantly most of the times. They are hard to catch but not tanky, to be fair and square ).

-not too complex > I’d say NOPE ( thief class has a large range of improvement. Check https://www.twitch.tv/sindrenerr which is one of the GW2 thieves god and see if the combat style could suit you ).

Hey, thanks, currently im hesitating between these few:
Weaver (probably too complex ans not mobile enough but i love the flavor)
Ranger / Soulbeast
Warrior
Any input on these would be nice!

Can’t go wrong with Ranger and Warrior, both are really mobile, and visceral as well. I hope they change the Soulbeast’s fartshroud to something less overwhelmingly green and awful.

I think Warrior may be the best fit.

ROFL , i’ve missed that.
Awesome

Thank you all for your feedback! After some thoughts, i decided to boost the warrior and off level a ranger with tomes and WvW !

I would say guardian.

But that’s just me. xD

Might be a bit lacking on the mobility but I use traveler runes for that and alot of distance closers, while staying away from slower weapons/skills.

I used to play a meditation guardian, wich was really fun… until dragonhunter became a thing afterwards i never played guardian again

Never seen this before. That is some catchy [donkey] [stuff]! Now I’m listening to that on Spotify while I’m playing. I gotta go dial the rest up on youtube so I can catch all the lyrics.

On a sad note, like, everyone in the world is more talented than me!

Edit: On a sadder note, I just followed my new discovery through to its sad ending via a binge YouTube and googling. Oh well.

Guardian, without a doubt.

Well, that’s a slightly different story, especially with the upcoming Guardian elite specialization (which you don’t have to use, though).

I can also recommend the Ranger for your purpose.
