What profession should I play?
Ranger with no pet=warrior with a long bow/rifle . As far as them being fun i guess that depends on your play style . I personally like the Guardian but cant get into the War as much so the best advice i can give you is to try it out yourself and see what you think .
I have a warrior that plays with a rifle and I also have a bow in my pack.
So yes warrior if you don’t want pets and want to be a ranger.
Guardian has no range to speak of, they have scepter for range but it got me killed a lot.
btw I find my warrior dead boring
