So, I want to play an engineer, but I also want to play a guardian.. so here’s my little conflicts on choosing.

Everyone says the engineer is really fun, but does that only really happen at somewhat higher levels? Like, when you get the kits? Also, I find the pistol very underwhelming, this may be because I never really got very high… but I’m not exactly sure if I should use a rifle, as I want to use kits and they mostly do condition damage. Oh, I won’t be using turrets. Unless turrets are good. Then I’ll use turrets.

I’m going to be doing quite a lot of WvW, I want to be able to hold my own in 1v1 maybe even a few 1vX scenarios, so basically, deal enough damage and not be squishy, but also be viable in a zerg. Also in regards to damage, I’ve heard a lot of things about engineers having underwhelming damage period, is this true?

As for the guardian, I actually like the guardian. It can do good in a zerg and 1v1/some 1vX scenarios. However, I get SO bored with their skills. Greatsword and hammer and pretty much their best weapon, and I get bored of that so quick. A little problem I had with the engineer too, as I got bored of skills quick I didn’t want to level anymore.

So thanks for anyone who read the wall of text, if you could help that’d be great, and thanks in advance.

The Guardian is easier,more powerful,with less bugs and is much better accepted…but it’s really boring,it’s just flashy blue light the whole time :s
Instead,the Engineer is good,but only when mastered (it is nice at low levels too,from level 5-6,but it becomes good at later levels,where cc,hard cc are more valuable),also engineer’s reputation isn’t so good,this means they won’t get nerfed more and they won’t be the first choice in dungeon runs.

If you want my opinion,go Engineer: it’s a hard class,very rewarding and understimed,you probably won’t have surprises about nerfs and a good engineer is as worthy as any class,probably even more.

At low levels,and to burst people,i suggest you to pick the rifle turret,it does really help.

P.s. it wasn’t a wall of text! x)
