Returning after a long time- class to play?
Honestly it seems your looking for a warrior or guardian. All the classes you listed have there strong points. Dont listen to the wannabe try hards about the meta. They have no idea how to think on there own. Damage wise youll probably be better with warrior or ranger for solo play. Also mesmers have it rough early on while leveling due to your traits being locked till 80. Necros do decent damage for dungeons reaching 100% crit chance in deathshroud if traited which you should.
Thiefs in pvp are still powerful the only reason your having a hard time is because the new condi meta is a hard counter to us. We dont have much condi cleanse as a class besides stealth. Plus players now a days are well aware of many of the different class weaknesses. It will take time but one thing is for sure the most over powered and easy class will always be warrior. PS warrior is always wanted in dungeons/fractals.

Maybe for PvE, but now it looks that in PvP war is not so strong as it was.
Mesmer:
Not the best DPS but I think the clones are good for survivability, al least in low levels I can kill strong mobs. The bad part
-People is saying they were nerf with the last patch
-No place or no the best alternative for dungeon party
And yes, mesmer was nerfed, but still it is a really powefull class in PvP and I am sure when chronomancer comes out, it will also be for PvE.

Eh…? What game are you talking about? Last time I checked the first specialization slot unlocks at level 21 and the last Specialization slot was unlocked at level 71. Without doing any Hero point challanges it may require you to level to level 80 before you can maximize your character.
