Guild Wars 2

Not looking for anything scary powerful or anything like that, my fiance and I just want to have a leveling duo and figured we could ask for advice on good synergies or ideas.

Guardian/Elementalist is what we were currently planning, greatsword vacuum + aoe sounded pretty funny.

Also considering double Engineers for setting up a small army of turrets.

Any opinions? Alternate suggestions?

Thief and ele are pretty good. The ele can set up various AOE fields and the thief can use pistol to fire through them or shortbow skill 2 on the field. The thief can also offer the blinds and stealths when needed for 2 squishy classes playing together.

I strongly suggest duo Guard or 1 Guard 1 Ele since guard have a ton of good defensive abilities + strong def + high damg and Ele can bring massive aoe damg not to mention these 2 classes can provide nasty might stacks and Ice Bow is one of best summon weapons in game you can watch each other’s back.

Engineer turrets is good for lvling but they are useless and squishy in high lv contents and very complicated gameplay so i won’t recommend engi.

Plus high toughness can hold aggro and Guard/War might fit for that job while your gf can deal damg.

Or you can play War replace Guard/Ele, war Phalanx Strength can provide pretty nice might stacks too ( but cost gold alot )

Guard/Ele combo could work well, just a pointer that they are probably the most fragile pairing possible, Guardians, while they wear heavy armor have one of the lowest health pools in the game, Elementalists are renown for being glass cannons, dealing a lot of damage but not able to take the puniment.

One thing from experiance, if one of you is melee and the other ranged make sure that the ranged one lets you get into melee before they start attacking. There have been a number of times when playing with friends that I go melee only to find the mob dead by the time I get into combat.

Any pairing can work well, experiment with weapons and builds a bit to find out what works for you.
