Guild Wars 2

no im not looking for a whats best at pvp or pve or whatever. rather i wanted to illustrate my tastes so you guys can make informed educated suggestions as to what i may enjoy.

First thing, mobility-i want to be mobile. i dont want to be a slow guy basically.

second thing, direct damage-i dont really want a lot of DoT’s, this may stem from other games i played but lots of DoT’s means slow killing.

Third, Versatility, a class that is good at several playstyles so i dont feel pigeonholed into one style of play, and if i get bored with one, i can learn another

fourth, aesthetics, this is mainly aimed at mesmers…i like there concept, HATE there artstyle. to the point where its hard for me to play one.

right now im looking at thief, ranger, engineer. but im open to any suggestion (tho youd have to make a strong case for mesmer)

one more bump of hope.

play another MMO, a lot of people are quitting the game. look at new armor in gem store, human t3 light armor available to everyone for $10 LOL. and if youre staying, my answer for you is thief or mesmer.

really? kitten , no good mmo’s out there it seems.

You’re playing the wrong game if you don’t want to be pigeon-holed into one style of play. The only style of play in GW2 is kitten y-DPS. If you don’t play full on damage, you’re doing it wrong.

And people talk trash about the holy trinity. Pft. As if Arena Net fashioned something more interesting. Spoiler: They didn’t.

But if you insist, play Warrior or Guardian.

warrior or guardian have good mobility?

i need to find another game by the sounds of it, very sad.

If you’re going with light armor don’t bother with a human anymore. You can obtain the T3 at half the price and without the need for pesky transmutation stones.

You probably should have just tried a few classes out to see what you liked instead of coming here to ask. A game forum is a seething mass of pessimism and negativity.

It looks like you already have a lot of history with thief so why not play it again?

Yea a ton of people are very upset with the t3 gem armor right now so i doubt you’ll hear many good things right now.

Personally ranger is my favorite class, very moble imo

i was just hoping for something fun that i could put some investment into.

as far as the gem thing i guess i dont care.

but as far as community, gameplay, balance, etc .

as far as my reason not picking up thief, ive thought about it. however their mobility isnt that good imo, and they pretty much have 1 really viable spec and had many issues both in pvp and pve.

so im understandably hesitant, especially if they are bieng made even worse.

The community in this game is the best I’ve seen. Though i haven’t played very many mmos before this one but those communities don’t hold a candle to this one.
