Guild Wars 2

Just looking for opinions on which Profession has the most fluid gameplay. Specifically, which one feels the most fast-paced without too many movement interruptions or disruptive animations.

I like to keep moving and attacking as fast as possible in any game I play – really makes combat feel more alive and fun in my opinion.

i would say warrior because it has such a wide amount of weapons to choose from , also he can be quite fast paced with a greatsword equipped…

Switching between Hammer and Greatsword on my Norn Guardian feels really fluid and the animations for those two weapons are fantastic. Give it a try if you haven’t.

1. Warrior
2. Guardian
3. Mesmer
4. Thief
5. Engineer
6. Elementalist
7. Necromancer
8. Ranger

1. Elementalist: Specifically Dagger/Dagger ele with cantrips. Amazing mobility (3 weapon and 1 utility), control and general survivability. Attunment dancing means you always have something to be doing. The only downside is that people expect eles to do fire fields all the time and d/d doesn’t have as many as staff.
2. Theif: is a close second with a good number of shadowsteps and high burst damage, but movement abilities have high cooldowns or initiative cost.

After that I think the rankings are

3. Guardian: They can have decent mobility with 100% uptime swiftness, Leap of Faith and judges intervention, but is otherwise a very reactive class, with cooldowns being fairly high across the board. Has some rooted channels with Staff, sword, and Hammer 5, but sword and staff are very niche weapons anyways. Shield is just bad.
4. Warrior: No teleports some mobility with Greatsword, but nothing spectacular same as any other mmo out there.
5. Mesmer: May be better than warrior. Low versatility though
6. Necromancer: Little mobility, but can keep mobs crippled and chilled. Scepter/dagger + Staff has no rooted channels making kiting a breeze on mobs, gets wrecked vs players in that category.
7. Ranger
8. Engineer: Just a half finished clunky class
