Guild Wars 2

Wondering what you guys thought was the ‘best’ ranged class obviously there is not just one, but what you thought had the better mix being able to Compete well in PvE/Dungeons/PvP and WvW.

I always used to play Archers/Mages in most games, but they are a little different here.

I was told that Warriors with a LB are stronger than even a Ranger here so its left me undecided what to actually play.

Well, first of all, you just don’t range in dungeons much at all, fractals it’s certainly more acceptable though.

That said, Ele is great damage wise with a lot of utility, the downside, if you’re caught… squish!

Warriors have some interseting stuff, their LB is a condi weapon very strong in PVP and roaming WvW, but PVE wise you’re really doing complete junk damage and sacrificing the awesome power they have when more close up. So i wouldn’t really consider them fitting.

Engi are good with grenades/rifle and the ability to immobilize targets quite frequently.

Ranger of course is not a bad option

I wouldn’t use it for dungeons but Necro fits well in the rest of the stuff, along with Ele necros make up the bomb in a WvW zerg, which is good fun and they aren’t bad in PVP. It’s just PVE that necros overall simply don’t have the toolsets that other professions do.

Personally, again, Staff Ele, it packs the punch, has the support, and while you go into melee range typically in dungeons you’ll still be carrying that staff and dropping meteors on heads. But, realize it’s a tough learning curve because of how squishy they are.

For WvW, the best ranged class would be ranger, though perhaps for PvP a mesmer might edge it out – ranger would be in the mix for PvP too though. That’s if we’re talking ranged physical damage anyway!
