Guild Wars 2

I’d like to hear an experienced players opinion on what class is the most fun in pve content. I’m pretty noobish with an old level 48 thief which I’m not interested in playing anymore. I’d like something that is pretty enjoyable to level with and has interesting elite specs (taking account the new ones as well). Not looking for the strongest, but the most entertaining to play.

Any opinions or biases are welcome as it will allow me to choose my class
(first time posting on forums – hope this is the right place)

All of the classes and their respective elite specs are strong in their own fields, and picking one is entirely a matter of your personal preference, nobody can name the one most ‘entertaining’ class since they are all different and appeal to different people in a different way. Also, there’s no big differences in the leveling experience; some classes do more damage than others and some have better sustain than others, but that’s about it.

First, I suggest you study the classes a little bit; read about them in the Wiki, watch videos on Youtube, and read the profession sub-forums here. Try to decide which class seems the most interesting to you and also keep your preference on tank/support/dps in mind. This said, most of the professions can shine in multiple areas depending on the builds, so there’s no absolute pick for a single role.

So again, it all comes down to which profession seems the most appealing to you. I hope you find yours, and welcome back to Tyria!

One of the best ways I can try to help is simply suggest to try everything. If you have Heart of Thorns you get an elite spec you can utilize to change your class up a bit. One way to check out what different skills and weapons can do is to enter the PVP lobby and take on the training golems. It can let you get a feel for the class, its traits and skills, and how you want to handle it.
