I still feel quite new to guild wars and I have a lvl 70 ele, which was mostly aimed at pve. I felt quite bored and decided to try wvw and pvp and found it very fun, especially wvw. I really enjoy the idea of running solo around and being able to take on people 1v1 or even 1v2.

So since I want another class to have some diversity I want to make a new character specifically for pvp and lvl it in wvw, but I am struggling on which. So far I have thought of necro (but seem kinda similar to my ele I think), guardian (seem a bit more supporty) and thief (seem quite hard to play). So my question here is:

Which class is best at:
- 1v1 and 2v1
- Roaming solo on bigger maps and taking objectives
And include:
- level of difficulty
- Most fun to play

I realize this is highly subjective, but looking for input from experienced people and maybe be convinced

I think that Necro’s are best at roaming and really not quite that much like Elementalist.

A necro using core GW2 you have a few options and can use range and power to your advantage tacked on to your 2nd Health bar (Death Shroud) or you can use conditions and/or pets to your advantage as well. HoT advantages allow you to use your 2nd health bar (Reaper shroud) as mele and still balance your build to cover things that Necromancers do well as roamers, but that doesn’t mean it won’t come with its disadvantages as well.. Sadly Necro’s have issues with speed.. you will never be quite as mobile as other Professions and builds when it comes to speed, and if you do compensate for lack of speed using traits and skills to ensure you maintain speed, you will have to give up something in order to do so.

Regardless, Necromancers and Elementalist are worlds apart so don’t neglect trying one out if you like to roam and cause havoc.
