Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys

As title says help out a newb to the game

what you want is to make an engineer specced in grenades.

This game has active PVP, there no class that’s going to be super OP because they would have to nerf it. Balance is a requirement to be in league matches a game that can not provide balance can not have competitive PVP or be considered for competitive PVP.

Ahh ok . what about a class that does well both in pve and pvp ?

make a warrior and you’re set

Play whatever you like. Big patches coming in Jan and Feb anyways.

Warrior is definitely the unnerfed op champion of surviving everything and killing anything in 1 shots or 3 depending on your weapon choice (yep nothing else but weapons, don’t need to trait for it either just bam bam bam and everything’s dead.)

Warriors.

15 chars.

absolutely

Seconded…. or umm Thirded?

And yet you’ll only hear people complain about thieves and mesmers being OP

thanks guys . in the end i made a worrior
thieves i read they aren’t good in pve and engineer umm doesnt seem my stuff

Warrior.

They are the most powerful.

Roll a thief. No other class can practically one shot people every 60 seconds and then escape, then do it all over again.

Surprising no one mentioned guardian, the good all-rounder. But ye, engineer with grenades definitely the most op :o~

Haha, that’s just cruel

Cruel for all the players who will die by his hand, yes.

Warriors, except they can do it quicker than sixty seconds.

Idd go Warr/Guard they are the newb friendly champs by newb i mean new players not as a insult whoever said Grenade engi is just trying to troll you but if anything pick a class that you think will suit you not the OP ones

FalconX.9287:

and that’s because of the 10+ or so nerf steaks in a row …. and QQ idiots…
(for the thief i mean)

Im extremely surprised only one person has mentioned Thief. Are we all trying to troll this kid? Warrior is indeed OP, only against an AI though lol.

You mispelled “Thief”. It’s written “T.H.I.E.F” and not “W.A.R.R.I.O.R”.

;-)

Joke aside, the classe one or two hitting others isn’t the Warrior, but the Thief right now.

warrior is boring, roll a mesmer

In all honesty, I’m not exactly sure why someone would respond to this thread seriously.

Then again, most said Warrior. A good profession, but there are better options for PvE, and better options for PvP.

I would have went with Gaurdian, Thief, and D/D Ele.

Gisei.5749:

and D/D Ele.

HAAHAHAHAAHAH xDDD took you seriously till i read that
OP and ele cant go in the same sentence together-its in anets manifesto

Windwalker.2047:

I can only pray that everyone feels this way.

wvwvw? hands down thief. perma stealth, highest dps, best mobility.

Morrigan.2809:

don’t be cruel pve as a mesmer is like living in hell with a dry well right beside you.

PVE: Warrior
PVP: Thief, and a little behind but still OP, mesmer.

Warrior imo has the best allround of both (pve + pvp).

Roll a ranger. Youll be critting everyones face off.

I wiped out an entire spvp enemy team before on my Mesmer when I accidentally dropped something on my keyboard and it pressed a bunch of skill hotkeys.

If I was on my Thief he woulda went squish.

In wvwvw i see loads of Rangers and Elies and even a fair amount of Necro’s …

In wvw guardians and warriors. Thief if you are silly wannabe ganker.

Warriors are great but sadly some silly people try 100 blades in wvwvw then wonder why they die!!
Make a thief and bathe in Warrior tears :-)

Warriors.

Playing most other classes will just end up in heart-break every time you read the patch notes. Mainly for either the stuff thats broke and doesn’t get fixed (Ranger, Necro), or nerfs to the new skills you find most useful because the last patched nerfed the skills did find most useful (Thief).

This might change soon though because I think they are running out of things to buff on Warriors. I mean, when all you have left to add is underwater finishers, you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. Maybe when that happens the other classes will start seeing equal attention instead of outright neglect or baseball bats to the knees.

After a brief thought, i totally agree with AcidicVision ….
Choose a Warrior as the Thief will get hit hard with the nerf bat in jan/feb patch making it useless.

If anyone says warrior, their opinion is worthless.

Thieves can take out any other class one on one with relative ease. Take thief for wvw and pvp.

Guardian for ease of use in my opinion makes the best and easiest first Character..

And to the Engineer Grenade post HAHAHAHAHA that was great lol

So what is wrong with Guardian again?
Highly overlooked it seems.

And I thought grenades Engi’s got nerfed to the ground, and they get second and third votes? Pshh..

Do Warriors really have the best ranged DPS or is this patched/nerfed already?

I can’t tell if OP is a troll or not.

OP’ll suck to varying degrees no matter what class they pick, question is what combo can they learn the fastest?

I’d say the complex and deep playstyle of the warrior will suit him.

“They’re not warriors” is basiclly it. A warrior specced towards tankyness/survivability is pretty much an immovable object too, with the upshot that conditions bother them less and they do a lot more damage.

I still think guardian is more fun to play, just warrior is easier, more powerful and pretty much just as survivable

I’ll agree with everything you said besides the survivable part, since you clearly haven’t played Guardian yet, or actually played it to the point of being able to recover from near death situation 3 times in a row without sacrificing your dps in the same build.

Warriors are made to dps, period.
But they are leaps and bounds away from Guardian’s survivability.

definitely thieves. then d/d elems. then warriors. that’s the official hierarchy of OPness in GW2. This cannot be contested.

More damage is a given. While Guardians have fairly reliable damage, their burst doesn’t really compare to that of Warriors.

Just as survivable is debatable. Warriors have a much larger health pool, but that also makes it harder to heal through. Guardians have much more access to defensive buffs like Protection and Aegis allowing them to avoid/mitigate damage better. Guardians also have a large amount of condition removal, so condition damage isn’t that big of an issue to Guardians.

Guardians also have a large array of defensive group utility. Between Virtues and Shouts, Guardians are an asset to any group and very much a team player.

Go Engineer and never look back

Only in one spec, warriors can spec into anything and still three shot or one shot everyone, thus the reason for my suggestion. Thieves have to spec all burst damage crit % and and stealth to do this. Warriors can be bunker spec and still do it.
