Okay, so I’m not a newbie to GW2, but I’m on a dilemma.

I’m down to the last 2 class – Engineer and Thief.

My playstyle:

Since I’m using my Warrior most of the time, I am more inclined to do a class that deal damage than support.

I’m also slowly mixing back WvWvW to my playstyle. I lost interest primarily due to I enjoyed farming on PvE. lol. Now that the routine has gotten stale, I need a new mix. I’m not fond of sPvP, if anyone would recommend that.

In general, both classes are more complex than your warrior. Thieves require much more attention to positioning, and their fragility means any failed dodge could be fatal. Engineers require an enormous amount of button pressing, almost on a level with elementalists. Neither class will give you overall better results than a warrior, but both provide very different playstyles.

In WvW, Thieves are better for solo roaming due to stealth. Engies are better for medium sized groups or zergs because grenades have a long range and they’re awesome. Both classes have good mobility. Their playstyles are really different, so you will likely be picking on which you find fun. Give both a try for a few levels and see
