Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played GW2 in around 3 months and came back to a practically cleared account (Characters stripped clean, ect.) so as I wanted a fresh start anyways I cleared my characters out (Deleted them.) and came to you all for suggestions as to what to play as. I enjoy all aspects of gameplay, be it a dungeon or wvw or open-world pve even dable in spvp, ect. I am not picky about classes/races but do favor ones that when equiped with top tier gear look really great, and perform all around well in-game, also as I want to be useful to a group, I am looking for something that’s needed in dungeons/fractals so when I do pug it up, I don’t get ignored, ect. Any/all suggestions welcome and sorry for the wall of text, and many thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond.

With the new wardrobe you should have plenty of possibilities to combine different pieces of armor and weapons that before the patch weren’t available to all your toons. Like the starter equipment or the cultural armor/weapons. To get the skins of cultural armor you just have to buy them once, no matter whether you can wear them or not. The racial limits are the same, but you won’t have to buy them again if you ever delete and start again.
Regarding starter gear: You can create eg. an Engineer and let him wear a helmet that previously was exclusive for Thieves. Or both the Engineer’s backpack and glasses. Or create an Elementalist wearing a Mesmer’s Mask. So before you create a toon that you want to level I’d recommend to create and delete one toon of every profession with every piece of profession specific starter armor to make the skins be stored in the wardrobe.
