Another class topic
Active gameplay says: ele, thief or mesmer to me. I have guard, necro, mes and thief and can tell u right now that thief isn’t too bad for aoe dmg (with shortbow) but is really squishy. Plus their sword/x set just got demolished due to the change on sword #2.
Mesmer is hard up to lvl 40 when u get ur master traits. I still enjoy my mes- a very durable class.
TBH, what you’re looking for sounds like warrior or guard.
I tried every single class in game. Warriors are nice. Simple to play but it got boring by level 5. Thief, Necro and Mesmer were my favorite and most fun to play.. Mesmer above all but I just got so frustrated on it that I deleted it at level 33 now like an hour ago and I don’t feel like re-making it, though I could go for a female this time.. I don’t mind being squishy as long as there is some way to cover that up. Thief has stealth, Mesmer has the clones BUT whenever I used clones, mobs always went for me and completely ignored the clones like there were none and I always ended up getting wiped quickly because of the long cooldowns on heal, blink + relatively poor mobility. I had masterwork gear and was using a staff + sword/torch(for the retaliation phantasm + extra stealth).
Ended up as a thief. I’ve found a really awesome dungeon build that actually has more support than just stealth and venom share that I really think will be useful and still decent damage. That will cover dungeons. I put together a small roaming team for capturing camps with my friend and I’m excited. Only thing is iniciative but I’ll get used to it with time I suppose. Now all I need is a race, gender and name. Thank you a lot! Have a wonderful day, cheers!
