Guild Wars 2

Hi, im starting the game today and i cant decide what class to play between Ranger, Elementalist and Thief. I’ve tryed all them until level 10 and im enjoying all of them lol.
So, which of them is good in both PvE and PvP? I’m afraid that thief might be awful at PvE and reject at partys(like some mmo)… read somewhere that ranger dps is awful and he is more of a support class…ele seens to be the most balanced….

what i exaclty want is something that i can do decent solo/group pve, boss, and decent pvp

help?

1) Thief is one of the best profession in both PvP and PvE. In PvE it have the best single target damage and their stealth allow some clean and easy skipping in some dungeon. For PvP, they are a hunter killer, using their dps and mobility to chase low hp enemies. It’s a top profession for both mode.

2) Ele is probably one of the best profession in every mode. It have the best AoE Damage and burst damage for PvE, while bringing some offensive buff for the group. It’s the single best profession for PvE, but it’s super squishy meaning that you will either be dead a lot while you train with it or you use defensive gear at first to learn how to play it. For PvP, it’s one a very powerful profession, but again it’s hard to play. It’s all about timing and rotation to keep you alive.

3) Ranger use to have bad dps, but it was fixed in september last year. Now it’s the 4th best dps for PvE. It’s not a top profession in both PvP and PvE, but it’s more than decent and it’s far easier to play at first than Thief or Elementalist. For PvP, you have a couple of great build that allow you some good result even if you don’t master the profession yet.

You want a class in both PvE and PvP and most important of all you just starting out

1/ Thief might be the class for you but you will find yourself having a hard time because this class require a bit skill to play, thief is not really bad in PvE and of course one of best class for PvP.

2/ Ele best class in every aspect of the game but very very hard to play if you still want to continue on this class don’t be surprise you might end up sucked at everything or struggling to survive but clearly if play well the reward is amazing.

3/ Ranger most easiest class and newbie friendly in game easy to learn easy to survive good in both PvE/ PvP and please don’t let some crap on internet fool you about this class dps, their solo capability is one of the best but some group will not want you in their team cuz a lot of ranger hater out there, the true problem cause this class have so much hate is you become lazy with a tank pet and stay at max range with tiny damg. Ranger true dps come from their ability to use both range/melee weapons and how well you can master this class.

Thank you very much for your anwser, that will help me a lot
