Hello everyone
I’m considering making an alt and ive stuck.. I hope You, guys can help me to figure out who fits me better. I’m considering Mesmer Thief and maybe a Ranger
- I want play mainly PvE but sometimes WvWvW aswell
- class should be demanded because I don’t want to be “useless” especially for dungeons
- on PvP i want to trick people and make them fools
- i preffer to play in gruops and cooperate with others but i often “farm” solo

And the last thing: I dont want to be bored so can You tell me who is more fun and more usefull? Every opinion means alot to me, I’d like to see what pros/cons they have. Maybe a different class? I’m open for sugestions
cheers!

GIven the "trick people’ and “useful in dungeons” part, I can tell you with all security; mesmer is the answer. It will be slightly slower to move around, but nothing that Traveler runes cant fix (I have 2 sets, one for guardian, and one for mesmer, those two need it!).

Pro:
-Very useful in PvE with tons of reflects, stealths, clones to take damage.
-Useful in WvW with veils and portals
-Dungeons; same as PvE, but better, basically Warrior/Guardian/Mesmer is the holy dungeon trinity in this game with reflects, boons doubling, incredible damage (highest in the game actually)
-PvP; tricksters, hardly ever die, lots of viable speccs, very useful.

Cons:
-Slow, will need setting up runes and weapons for that
-Thieves have ‘hards’ on for mesmers and elementalists (mostly elementalist though, but thats because of how underpowered they are and how OP backstab in this game is).
-If you dont know how to handle clones in parties you might actually get the entire party wiped, so mind your pets!

If you’re looking for a challenge in PvE, mesmer is not it. That’s just my opinion of course, but my reason is that you always have your illusions to distract mob aggro and dps for you. When I play PvE on my mesmer, I feel like I’m just standing there soaking up the victory. PvE on my thief, though, I’ve had to work harder in some of those fights than I have on any other class.

Please take your tinfoil hats off and be reasonable. ~ReginaB

hmm but thieves seems to have not so many weapon choices as mesmers, isn’t it gettin boring using the same weapons?
