Guild Wars 2

Heyo, I just bought the game and got it installed. Although, now that I have done that, I am trying to figure out what class to play

Was considering an Engineer. Although, with that said, will I find myself lacking parties and whatnot late-game? I’ve played games where certain classes are just frowned upon for either PVE or PVP and they’ll just kick you out because your contributions are inferior towards other classes.

Anyways, thanks!!! Napping time!

The players helping players section has a lot of good advice both directly from other players responding to threads and stickies with play advice created by players.
To me all classes are viable in all aspects of the game. Others differ, find something you enjoy and things should be fine.

Hey and welcome!

I main an engineer and I haven’t had issues joining dungeon groups – as they stand right now, properly specced and geared, engineers are extremely good for party content as they have great damage and versatility.

The only issue you might have is that it’s generally considered one of the difficult professions as it can involve juggling a lot of cooldowns and kit-swapping, but mine was my first character and I did just fine so it really depends on you.

Welcome to the game!

Echoing the above, Engi can be hard, but the rewards can be pretty spectacular.

If you see me about on the NA servers, feel free to ask for questions or help.

As for late game content, dungeons and fractals are the only things where people get really huffy about builds, and most of that is old content they try to speedrun. If you’re using the looking-for-group tool, just be mindful of what the people are advertising. Or if you make your own, be clear about your group intent.
