Guild Wars 2

Try every proffesion, race is a personal choice, has no real effect on game play

No one can honestly tell you what to play, every class has the same core guiding principles, making any of them good in the right hands. And I don’t think having someone tell u what to play, how to play it and what exact skills u should use to be enjoyable.

Your going to have to find that out for yourself,
Tip, for me personally I got every class to level 30, then played around with all of them until I was just always logging onto my Mesmer without realizing it.
Thus, I found a class of my own.

If u don’t enjoy playing it, well for one it will suck, and for two you wont be AS good as if u were loving every minute of it.
If that sounds too tedious, or time consuming, Narrow it down based on Caster/Melee/Ranger or Light/Med/Heavy armor.
Thatl give u a start!
but keep in mind, Every patch changed something, so just because a Zerker Warrior is king of DpS at the moment (<- not saying that’s true) doesn’t mean it will be when u finally get to 80, geared, and set up to go. Every class is going to be OP or Nerfed as some points.

AND everyone has their own opinions, don’t keep everything someone says about a class to heart, usually they just got owned by that class in PvP or wiped in PvE and are in fact raging.

Basic point of all this rambling is, Your going to have to find it yourself, no matter what anyone says, no one can play that class for you.

Enjoy it, Learn it, Master it.

A lot of people post because they have hit a wall and are looking for a way over. My class was decided for me after a friend say “play this”. That is kind of like what some people hope to gain from their post. Other people post because they are new and just want to play rather then spend a while finding a class. Don’t dismiss these posts too quickly.

While I agree with the OP, that ultimately it’s up to a player’s personal preference and what they find fun, sometimes the forums are needed to help narrow things down. I’ve seen many threads from people with a couple 80s, they know what they like and dislike from playing those, and ask the forums to narrow down their options based on that info. It’s handy. Playing each class to 30 takes a fair amount of time, especially if you’re really studying the ins-and-outs of them and testing various options.

Another piece of advice is to take your brand new character to the Heart of the Mists, where you’ll upleveled to 80 while there, and test out all the skills and traits you’ll eventually get. This might help make your decision. It’s also a good way to decide if the race you chose has animations you like.

All in all though, the OP said it best: Your going to have to find it yourself, no matter what anyone says, no one can play that class for you. Enjoy it, Learn it, Master it.

Well yes, i agree with both of you. But when we keep seeing the same people do those posts its gets irritable lol. But trying to find an 80 another alt, is very acceptable. Or if indeed ur playtime is limited to a few hours each day.

But Before u post a thread asking, atleast mingle with the classes a little ^^.

I never say “All the classes are fun and unique, play what you want to play!” cause that typically means jack **** for whoever is seeking class guidance.
