Guild Wars 2

Been gone for awhile and starting the game again. Don’t recall much. What is a fun class to play that’s easy to level and in demand for PVP and dungeon runs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can’t go wrong with a guardian, wanted in every game mode and it’s pretty fun to play with hammer and greatsword.

Warriors and elementalists are also good bets.

In my dungeon experience, Warriors are still popular for their damage, but a successful, experienced team can consist of just about anyone.

My views as a dungeon leader are that every profession is welcome, as long as it has something unique to bring to the party.

Guardians – Aegis, Condition Removal, Boons, Support (excels)

Warriors – not much besides numbers and a rez

Thief – very useful stealth and interrupt skills (for experienced thieves)

Ranger – an extra party member (the pet), many useful tid-bits, if the ranger is experienced

Engineer – Swiss Army Knife – can do everything, just not that well. Sometimes that’s enough, but not many people can do that, so they play something else instead.

Mesmer – great boon removal, Haste, stealth, portals; in short: the scholar Swiss Army Knife, with less healing

Necromancer – they seem dull and dark, until they get put in a corner, at which point they survive, they put up an army of things, or in general do pretty cool things. I rarely see necros in my teams – always fun to have one!

Elementalist – can put a good dent in people, can help you out in a pinch, and if they’re nifty, they can cause havoc while helping out.

This is all due to the way I do dungeons. Different people will tell you different things; my advice is: get good at one thing, get good at a second one, and you can get good at all of them But that’s for PvE only!

In Dungeon most profession are welcome. But Necromancer are in the bottom in term of DPS, don’t bring utilities to the group, but are usually good at surviving. They are just not that good in dungeon setting. Ranger used to be really bad, now things are better, but they still have a lot of stigma so a lot of ppl still consider them badly. Elementalist, Thief and Warrior are in the top position in dungeon right now.

In sPvP, they can all do a great job, but Elementalist and Engineer are on top for the moment.

In WvW, Elementalist, Warrior, Guardian and Necro are on top. Mesmer and Thief also have important role.

Ya, if you want to dungeon run, do not roll a necro. Guardian or warrior is a good safe bet. Warrior you can use in all areas of PvE and WvW to great effect – usually faceroll everything and you have good health/sustain. Guardians are always needed but if you’re out mapping and stuff can take longer to kill trash mobs. But fun to play.
