Guild Wars 2

I’m current unsatisfied with the current state of Guardian. I’ve poured so many hours on it that I find it hard for me to play anything else seriously. I want to start dedicating more hours to other professions, but I see “flaws” or think about things I miss and go back to playing Guardian.

What can I do to get myself to play other professions more often? Maybe even find a new main.

I was in your predicament a few months ago. I mained a Guard since I started, and as much as I enjoyed him I was never completely satisfied. I have a couple alts that I enjoy, but ultimately can’t hold my attention for very long.

So, what I did was try professions that were conceptually very different that what I was used to playing in most games. What else did I have to lose? I found out that I disliked ele and enj – too much twitch-play and skill options for me.

Then I tried the Warrior… and fell in absolute love. I normally don’t like the warrior’s style of play, but for some reason I can’t get enough of it. It’s straight-forward yet brings enough complexity and variation to hold my attention (without being overwhelming). I dismissed Warrior for 3ish years, and I honestly regret it. Warrior is now my main.

So, that’s my suggestion to you…. try professions you may have out-of-hand already dismissed. And, for those professions you’ve found flaws with, give some thought as to how you can get rid of those flaws through builds, weapon choices, and/or skill choices. Each profession has so much variation that many issues can be overcome.

Good luck, and I hope you find your perfect main.
