Guild Wars 2

Guys, I need help picking a class.
Just some tips, from people who play the class. You know, builds and how different classes stack up.

I’m currently playing a Guardian, but I dislike that I die a lot, or do poor damage. I’d like to be able to deal some decent damage, while staying alive. I prefer solo work, and don’t mind being melee.

My favorite so far was Greatsword ranger, but I hated how the pets worked. Very glitchy at the time.

The only class I havent tried is Thief, and thats because I was told my a few friends they are extremely hard to control and very squishy.

Any tips or anything is welcome. Thanks, guys.

What are you doing with your guardian? I’m leveling one as an alt as well, and so far, it’s fantastic. With the traits that give you might on Virtue of Justice, and the trait that resets its cooldown everytime you kill a foe, plus the trait that makes it also be an AoE blind, plus the Greatsword AoE Blind leap, plus the perma aegis and other damage mitigation stuff guardian has, I happen to have some really awesome survivability, and really nice damage, especially when vs several monsters at once. I’m only using NPC armor and weapons, plus whatever monsters drop for me. Maybe you’re fighting monsters whose levels are too high compared to yours?

I’m really having a blast with the class, and coming from playing a D/D Ele for most of the time, the amount of passive and active heals and damage mitigation the class has makes it be tons of fun for me. Also Guardian particles are omg so kitten X_X
