Guild Wars 2

Folks, I’ve been playing this for a decent amount of time now and so I have an 80 Thief, Warrior, D/D Ele, and a Mesmer. Each has relatively the same level of gear as I can’t seam to stick with one class long enough to really develop them. I was wondering if you all might be able to help me find what would fit best based upon what I’m wanting to do?

I mainly try to roam around the WvW but sometimes get stuck in the normal zerg. The problem I have is that really want to have some sort of survivability/mobility while being able to push out a decent enough damage that I can survive on my own. So far, I’ve not really found something that is balanced in generally all situations (if there is such a thing).

I have come to enjoy the thief but being burst doesn’t leave room for much mistakes. The condi warrior I have is fun but not all that great at roaming. The D/D ele feels like she has no real ability to kill anything and the GS mesmer just has terrible mobility.

What do you all suggest?

Pick the class you like the most and get good with it. When you get more experienced you won’t have as much probs surviving with those classes

You could just make a different build for your warrior so that its good at roaming but can still be helpful is zergs…however almost any warrior build is great in zergs

Why do you have to stick with one?

There is NOTHING wrong with experimenting with different builds on a LVL 80. That’s the only way you are going to find something you like.

If you must stick with only 1 character, then respec your warrior. They have plenty of mobility, group support, & zerg-ability.

Otherwise, rotate through your characters as the need arises. Enjoy them all.

I’m biased towards mesmers.

Mesmers have a great condition damage/invisibility build that is incredibly fun to roam with. I think it’s best in 1v1s, but also good in around 5v5s.

You can still have very slight tankiness, but your survivability stems from confusion and damage avoidance.

When you run with the zerg you could just switch one utility to veil and drop it in front ofthe zerg.

Downside is low aoe in zergs, and you’re SO SLOW while running. You can bring focus but every 10-15 seconds you’re pulling it out to give swiftness then switching back.

Focus has the highest damage Phantasm (if not weapons skill PERIOD) in the game. I hope you are not swapping it out before dropping that on a semi-stationary target….

It’s actually not the highest. It comes close to duelist when factoring in bleeds I believe.

That’s besides the point. If you’re small roaming in wvw and you find a stationary target. He’s either afk or dead.
