Guild Wars 2

I need you help with choosing profession !
The thing is is only have one arm but I’m able to play GW2 thanks to my mouse.So on my mouse i have 9 extra buttons ( i usually bind 6 buttons for abillities , 1 for tab , one for space and v for evasion ).But because i play on mouse i can only go forward ( no left ,right or backward )
So i need your help to recommend me profession that i will be able to play at least good ( i mean in pvp and WvW ).

You’re going to have a really hard time with this game because it has physical dodging which requires you to dodge in a specific direction often. You might get away with just dodging forward a few times, but YMMV.

That said, I highly respect disabled players and urge you to try. So I would suggest that you play something with alot of range so you can spend most of your time from a safe location, possibly Ranger with the longbow range trait (1500 range).

If you prefer more action, try a shout-based Guardian. This way you can buff allies and the buffs will also help keep you alive even if your control is not good. You can just run around in circles spamming staff #1 to attack, its a huge melee AoE that requires no target selected to use. (Shouts do not interrupt attacking.)

It is so effective that it is often used in PvE where staff is called the “loot stick” due to its ability to hit many opponents with little effort.

The Guardian also has alot of condition cleansing and stun breakers so you will be alot less susceptable to being “rooted” (held in place) by an opponent in PvP, which will allow you to make maximum use of your available control.

I definitely think that a tankier class like a warrior or guardian would be your best bet. They don’t require as much dodging, because they are more surviveable so the directional-dodging thing wouldn’t be as big an issue.

It also depends on what you want to do. For just leveling up, pretty much anything is fine as long as you keep your gear relatively up to date. I’d honestly probably chose warrior

I’m thinking warrior would be your best bet. Tankier with lots of damage mitigation.

What do people think about necro? As an attrition class it’s got a lot of range, minions for body blocks, and only a single F-key.

PvE shouldn’t be much a problem once you get the mechanics down. PvP is very movement heavy so it will be harder. Best of luck and props for not letting it stand in your way.

Warrior using signets for passives would be a good choice.

I’d suggest the same for a Ranger with longbow traited for distance when you get to that point. For pets I’d suggest bears (they’re not good damage, but they CAN tank, which is good), drakes, or canines. Basically, pets that can take a beating, with canines being about as squishy as you want to go.

Well im planing more WvW with one guild on my server and sometimes PvP .
I also heard that necros are good for zerg fights but i still cant decide.
Actually im only planing to play WvW when i think about that

For WvW, I’d still probably go warrior. I just feel like you can help your group just fine and with like a rifle for zerging you won’t have to deal with ground targeted AOE placement as much. I feel like that would probably be really difficult especially if you’re moving with the mouse as well.

If you need to dodge a direction other than forward, twist your mouse to the direction you need to dodge, quickly, and make your dodge, and twist back around. You’ll still technically be dodging forward, but it will at least be in the correct direction!
Just my 2 cents!
I would recommend a Thief, Warrior or Guardian. I have little to no experience with the other classes. Possibly Warlock as well?

I think i will go warrior
So i should go rifle warrior in WvW ?

Ah, I was thinking you wanted general PvE. My answers still stand, by and large, but I don’t really do PvP or WvW. I hear range is important in WvW, though.

Also, your question got me to wondering, and a quick Google search lead me to this: http://www.amazon.com/Stinky-Gaming-Footboard-Foot-Controller/dp/B00EOPT5ZS
It seems expensive to me, but so do gaming mice. Would something like this help?

As Hannelore said above I think the directional dodging mechanic will be the most challenging, so I suggest picking a profession and build that requires the least amount of dodging. Here are some suggestions:

• Necromancer – Basically ranged class with a large health pool that has no access to vigor anyway. Minion Master or any build with staff & scepter/dagger or axe/focus would keep you at range.

• Ranger – With a tanky pet and longbow/shortbow you can stay at range most of the time.

• Elementalist – Tanky/healing build using staff & scepter, stays at range

• Engineer – Grenade specialist build & turrets, maximum range and survivability

• Warrior – High survivability, longbow for range & possibly a shield or rifle for off set

• Mesmer – Might want to stay away from Mesmer since all builds but one rely heavily on dodging, but if you want to I’d recommend a phantasm build for sure. Stay at range and let your illusions do the work.

• Guardian – Tanky/healing build using scepter/focus or scepter/torch, possibly mace/shield in off set. At range & high survivability through boons & heavy armor.

• Thief – Stealth build (Shadow Arts line, not Acrobatics) with shortbow as off set. Pistols will keep you at range or even sword/dagger can keep you alive without dodging.

I think most of the content in GW2 can be done without dodging if you build around that limitation and are very positionally aware. It poses an interesting problem which actually might add a fun level of challenge to an already fun game. Makes me want to try unbinding my dodge key and see what happens.

Good Luck!

If you have extra money around I highly suggest that you consider investing in the gamepad n52te.

With key binds you can pretty much play the game efficiently with one hand. I myself only use the mouse for looking around, which you can do easily with the gamepad.

My problem with gamepads is that they are all for left hand and i need for right hand .Trust i was thinking so many times to buy that .

Kinda similar to what Vol said, but a Logitech g600 might not be a bad idea. It has 12 buttons at the thumb, 2 buttons under your middle finger and below the mouse wheel, and a button under your pinky for switching what every single button does while it is held down. This would give you access to all your skills, plus a bit of movement outside of holding down both mouse buttons, and then with the shift it’ll give you all the extra buttons for opening menus or the sort.

Also, on another note, you may want to look into Combat Mode. It isn’t explicitly approved, but the Devs have come out and said they do not plan on pursuing anyone that uses it because it doesn’t directly change anything and doesn’t give a considerable advantage. But it does make it so you have a crosshair that auto uses skills where it is pointing. So if you are in something that gives you an aiming cirle it’ll just cast there automatically, as well as use skills at range on the crosshair as well.

More on topic, I would say either bunker Warrior, or an Altruistic Healing Guardian with a hammer in a melee focused party. The warrior will survive hits long enough for you to get away, and the guardian will heal for quite a chunk every second if your party is all right there next to you. The big thing you will need is a group of players that understand your limitations and shore them up.

We Havre a guild member that plays one handed. We built him a rifle warrior that can take punishment and deal damage. Works great for rezzing also. Works good hot him.

There is a key biding in game called “about face” that makes you turn 180 deggres when you press it and if you play warrior you probably wont have to use healing skill since you got the op signet so you got 1 free key for that if you want to i think this combo would work good for you.

I want to thank you all guys for helping me
Now i only need to decide on race that will look good with rifle

A logitech contoller such as the F710 (which I use for GW2) comes with software which will allow you to swap movement to your right hand. You would have 8 buttons and full 360 degree movement. Slightly slower and a fair bit less accurate than a mouse/kb but I have played every aspect of the game and have 6 lvl 80 characters.
