Q:
Taking a break from GW2 to play various
Nintendo games..
Q:
I have level 80s of both of these classes but I honestly can’t decide which one I’d like to main. Both professions have great utility through either stealth or portals/reflect, and I originally found power mesmer boring in pve, but the condition builds seem like a blast for pvp/wvw, although I have 0 rabid gear for him right now.
My thief currently is a carrion wvw P/D build, and I’m slowly acquiring a zerker set for PvE for her. What do you guys think would be the best class to devote my money and love to? I’ll eventually get a legendary for this class and ascended weapons and whatnot, so I really need help deciding!
That’s really a question only you can answer for yourself. I can only tell you my experience. Two of my 3 level 80s, and primary characters, are Thief and Mesmer. I love them both a lot, but I find the Mesmer more versatile. He’s great in groups, all the way up to zerg size; he’s great solo; and although I don’t run dungeons too often, he’s generally my pick when I do. I did not care for him in WvW, but that’s entirely a personal quirk on my part; I played with many, many other people who adored their Mesmers in WvW. If I were only going to get max gear for one of them, I would pick my Mesmer.
( I haven’t done sPVP/tPVP so can’t give an opinion on either of them).
Mesmer, you’ll thank me later. They offer so much more in PvE, and are a lot of fun in PvP. I did play thief, I actually had a level 80 thief that I deleted because it was gathering dust.
