Guild Wars 2

Hi guys!
So, i play Thief from a long time (since the game comes out actually) and i wanna try also a new class.
I discussed about this argument with a guild mate and we ended up choosing between these classes: Mesmer, Guardian, Warrior, Elementalist.
This character will mainly be used for PvE/WvW purposes.
So, what do you think which could be a good choice and why?

You’re the player at the helm, ANet are the ones that decide how you play, not me.

Guardian is probably, from my point of view, the most useful profession all around. Warriors are good but bore me. Elementalists are also really useful but hard to play well, so more challenging. Mesmer is a lot of fun, but hard to level..however has a lot of utility at max level. All those choices are good at end game.

Once u go War, u’ll never go back!

Alot of people start with War. It’s extremely boring.

OP.. .. which to class do you hate going up against, the most in WvW? play that one

I must say that i don’t feel uncomfortable against any class in WvW.
With thief, more or less, i can face any situation.
I made this thread more for the PvE part of the game, because some guild mate said that the thief it’s not so good in PvE and, unfortunatly, i have to agree.
However, i will use the new character in WvW too.

The way I see it, from personal experience;

Do you want hectic multitasking (be it as a negative or positive thing)?
Y/N

Y:
Acquire elementalist with a dagger/dagger or scepter/dagger build*, meditation-built guardian or otherwise a mesmer with mantra/shatterer build.

N:
Acquire any warrior, tank or greatsword guardian or otherwise a mesmer with a phantasm build.

• Highest amount of hectic multitasking you will find. For some it’s fun, for some it’s burdensome. I enjoy it, personally finding it gives an edge of extra rewarding** challenge.
  • The better you get at elementalist multitasking, the better your output is, easily surpassing most classes so long you can actually pull it off properly.

If you liked thief you might like the ele. Very versatile and fast with high damage and is also a great asset in PvE. It brings a lot of utility and has a lot of different types of support to choose from (damage buffing, healing & condi removal, control, conjour weapons or just plain DPS) It can be good for zerging in WvW too if you like to AoE things from a distance. It is high risk but also high reward.

I went warrior, I went back.

I would think either ele or mesmer. Ele you would have the speed you are used to with more attention needed for attunement swapping, mesmer is fun in many ways but may drive you nuts due to being slow (no in built speed buffs, one weapon speed buff).

Thanks again for the suggestions guys!
In the end, i think i will try out Elementalist and Guardian.
