Q:

Hi all!
I ben playing since beta but still didnt get to lv a class to 80. I constantly reroll and cant decide relly what i should play. Non of the current classes fit my play style.

I usually like to play “casters” mostly ones that have a long range nuker, or a “healer” or support tipe character.
But currently cant decide.
I have almost all classes araund 40 and did try out all of them in pvp alredy.
Can anyone suggest me a class, that is a really good long range nuker and can be used in WvWvW in a decent way?
What are there besides Ranger and Ele that are viable long range dd-s? And what builds?

(i propably would pick Guardian because it can support awesomely, and Heavy armor is cool, but it totally sux in range combat)

As far as long range nukers go, nothing beats a grenade engineer. Huge range and damage, but slow projectiles. It’s not a caster though. I think the mesmer greatsword is a good choice for long range casters, but don’t quote me on that. When it comes to support, guardians are indeed very awesome, but remember that other professions also can support well, but in different ways.

Even though it’s not a caster a grenade Engineer is an exemplar of a long range nuker: 1500 range, easily more than 1k DPS and very spamable AoEs.
However it’s hard to hit moving target from long range but Elementalists and Rangers have the same problem.

That’s the build I’m using in W3:

Equipment is a mixture of Soldier and Carrion.
I originally used [Protection Injection] instead of [Backpack Regenerator] but it never activated so I switched it with another trait.
