Guild Wars 2

So I have been away from the game for about a year and came back. I am thinking of making a new character just to acclimate myself to the game once more, but not sure what profession to go with.
I do have a level 80 elementalist I may come back to at some point, though I built himas more support, and I have been recently leveling my guardian, who bores the hell out of me.
So I guess what I’m asking is what would be a fun solo PvE class?
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest the guardian, maybe you are using the “wrong” weapon sets, greatsword and staff have a quite boring gameplay, try to use scepter/focus or sword, you’ll notice that it will be a bit more fun.
If you were used to play as ele, you can try to play as thief, it is squishy as ele and have great damage and nice mobility.

I’ve done 3 classes. Elementalist which was alright. Thief which is probably the most fun class I’ve played. And ranger which was god awfully boring.

They’re all fun to me. My top 3 for PvE (moving around maps, world bosses) are elementalist, warrior, and thief.

If you built your ele as support, you might try a more damage-focused build and have more fun with that.

It’s too subjective. One person loves what bores another person to a keyboard faceplant.

That said, I personally find Mesmer the most all-around fun. I have 3 of them at 80, and use two of the three quite often for fractals and dungeons. I’d find them handy in SW as well if I hadn’t set up my Thief with all my keys and shovels since he gets first dibs on any new content (plus he’s fantastic for the Labyrinth thanks to stealthing past the wolves).

The thing about Mesmer is it easily sashays between melee and range and with all the clones and phantasms you’re a one-player army. Unlike pet classes as a rule, its “pets” are more autonomous fire-and-forget spells that you dispel for extra benefits at the right moment, you just have to juggle which ones you want to keep out when.

And when HoT arrives, Chronomancer is looking like a super fun specialization.

God you’re right about that Chronomancer specialization looking super tempting, I do love me some time manipulation, but I might have to go with a thief from what I’ve looked around at they seem to be a challenge, and very fast paced combat style I kind of like. Thanks for the advice, and it will be charr thief so it will be the sneakiest thief!
