Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to find the perfect character prof to play and never seem happy with may of my choices. This has made me leave a few times never getting a character high up nothing over 20.

I’m not sure if others have this issue them themselves or it is just me ,maybe it is me? darn it may just be the race prof combos I try
But what I look for in a class is

Mix of ranged and melee (being able to mix it up on the fly is fun why shoot a bow at point blank range when I can stab you in the eyes?)

bringing some use to groups (used to playing healers on other mmo’s, I know no trinity here)

Fast attacks that look fluid.(slow and clunky are not me)

armours that look good but I guess that’s personal taste

Looking for something that is good in pve, ok in dungeons if I ever get there and ok for the odd wvwvw

Well that’s it really, and since I don’t want to just go meh and leave it ,I come to you good people.

Warrior or Thief.

I can’t assist much, since I am brand new and have my own issues deciding on professions, but it might help if you post what you have tried and didn’t like. Could help narrow it down more. I know Warrior has a lot of good weapons choices, have you tried one?

I’ve tried a warrior and found while good dame they are a little how shall I say it boring after a while , even though I enjoyed the weapons the 789 slot skills didn’t call to me at all.
I tried ele and I liked the fast pace of dagger/dagger but well after not getting a good handle on when to swap elements I was dying a lot even when switching my weapons around to staff

Many of the professions don’t really start to shine until level 40 when they get enough traits. Some, like Mesmer, are especially considered harder at low levels.

Try going to the mists to try out professions. You are leveled to 80, have full traits, skills and access to weapons and armor. You can try different ones there and see if you like them

If you don’t need to play melee, try Engineer. They don’t get many starting weapons, but rely on kits unlocked in their utility skills. You will have to level one up to around 20 to have a good number of them unlocked. Their kits all have very different playstyles, making them very versatile.

Ele has very bad survival at the start. Their survivability is 90% tied to their traits via the self healing it grants you. Until you unlock them, you will have to run away a lot to stay alive.
