Guild Wars 2

okey. as topic says i just cannot decide and cant find the perfect fit for me. i had 80lv ranger. 3 80lv thieves (yes 3…). 80lv guardian. 80lv necro. 80lvl ele. played a lil with mesmer in pvp. warrior and engi is just not for me (tho i havent tested much) but warrior felt very slow and engi.. well im just not the type of “technological” classes.

umm. i enjoy mostly pvp/wvw roaming. im heavily into competetive type of games. i just love action and tend to get bored in pve content cuz of a lack of challenge. okey hmm.. i totally loved thief mechanics (hence i had 3 of them). its a fast-paced class which is just pure fun to play. tho it has a big big minus. its a paper. sometimes you just die no matter how hard you try. i tend to get heavily frustrated when i just cannot 1v1 someone. so thats the reason why thief is a nono anymore.

well i could glue these together. necro/ranger/guardian. i kinda enjoyed at some point in time with those but after some time you get really really bored of those. they are in general easy and quite simple classes. all kind of "limited yet very rewarding" type of classes. necro being bit too slow to enjoy. ranger being... limited and very easy. guardian being.. limited and recharge dependant. on one hand all of those classes are very rewarding and easy and less frustration yet you grow out of them by having no challenge.

ele. well ele is kind of “jack of all trades” i suppose. but mainly i couldnt really enjoy it cuz it has some lack of damage and not much of a range. (having in mind DD cele/zerker). it had a plus of being atleast alil challenging cuz of a piano gameplay and quite supportish. but lack of damage and range just didnt work for me.

so yea trying to cut it shorter. im literally lost. i need something fast-paced and atleast more complex then ranger/necro.. yet i dont want to get frustrated by playing a very risky class like thief and get ganked on 1v1s. what are my options? maybe just quitting the game itself cuz i just cannot find perfect fit? or to roll something that i dont enjoy but atleast dont get frustrated? or.. i dont know. ty for replies

Rogue, it’s an EXTREMELY active class and tends to look pretty kewl in the process c:

Nah, go paladin.

Honestly wait for all the specialization reveals, Dragon Hunters with trapper runes are gonna be a beastly and fun wvw roamer. We don’t know anything about any of the other profession reveals so I can’t make a suggestion as they’ll all change massively with the updates.

Warrior doesn’t seem that slow to me. Not sure about wvw though, I run my thief there 98% of the time, the other 2% with engi for grenade defense on towers for a change of pace. I used to try to roam, and I can, but I pref to take point on zergs and intercept runners, basically contribute to what wins matches as a group. I think that is common in mmo’s, a reason to play them if you like mmo’s. But if I were to solo or spvp, I’d probably pick guard for that, but just my pref and not really high on my interests just the same. You seem to still be searching for a class/build to put 98% of your time perfecting, maybe turn over more stones looking? imo warrior is nothing to sneeze at, especially if you like the thief dps and warrior has some level of interest for you since it is the other dps class in this game.

well yea im really the type that wants to find and master it and stick to it for good. but having in mind that i gave a decent amount of time on almost all classes (xcept engi/warr) makes me wonder… idk i just find it hard to find that perfect one. either its boring/cheesy/slow or fun/quick but just too risky and squishy. sooo idk. bout warrior i mean that his attacks seemed slowmo. i tried GS warr i think and well.. overall feeling was really slow. but ya i cant tell for sure. warr/engi were the ones that barely tried. idk might just give it a rest for awhile. i dont think theres a perfect balance anyway. either i roll another thief and keep dying. or i roll somethin comfortable like a guardian and enjoy living. maybe it actually is like night and day. never seen a perfectly balanced class/build. (considering 1v1s lets say)

Well perfection is an illusion. I leveled all the classes, and that was back when there were no constant flow of scrolls or tomes and the best you could do it quick is by having a lot of mats for crafting it (hah master crafter early too). I’d much rather spend time playing all the classes, but after leveling everything up, anet released ascended everything and I just never wanted to grind all that gear for all my characters. So I just settle for one, the one that makes the best sense for me, and have a life other than gear grinding in gw2. My endless devotion to a single mmo, spending all my spare time and effort into chasing perfection, ended after the first year of UO. But I’d try warrior though, just scroll it up, anyway it’s a lot easier than thief to play. Engi is hard too, with thief and engi probably being the hard-mode classes…. in a game that is really not very challenging at all.

yea i might try warrior after all. now i created again ranger. i saw HoT traits for Ranger and was like omg.. they r gonna be quite strong. tho its considered a cheese class and easy class and you get sometimes blamed for playing an “OP” class. the only thing that i like about it is cuz its universal. wvw? not a prob.. just stay far away and shoot things. pve? hell yea. sick DPS so u r quite good for it too. pvp? well.. i think its obvious. but yea imma have to try warrior too. thats kinda the last options for me. i dont even consider engi somehow. i just really really dont like all those technological classes. bombs and kits and grenades meh.. ^^ so yea. i guess its time to just sit back relax and annoy people on ranger and dont bother if its an easy mode or not.

It’s not “annoying” because it’s “OP”, it’s not. It’s annoying because there are 10000 LB rangers and 80% of them mash their keyboard w/o thinking how it slows everyone down and/or endangers wipes at events. #1 troll class, ever, by far. grr lb rangers.

yup i totally agree. tho they are quite squishy. manage to come close and the kill is urs

Then you probably haven’t been at a megadestroyer world boss event where a single ranger decides to KB mega out of everyone’s range…. lol the cursing at rangers over chat! So many other crazy examples, not sure why anet never nerfed ranger LB KB’s yet. Certainly could calm a lot of hostility towards them.
