Guild Wars 2

Hello all, sorry for my bad english, but i have a serious issue, i cant pick a class to play since like….beta.

Whell i did try all classes, most of them above 20, and did pvp with them all, did try differeant builds, but i just cant find my class.
Trough i narrowed it down to 2 class, since i want to use rifles -_- sadly there is only 2 class that is able to do it.

I checked out the vid on youtube with “the predator rifle” and the engineer did look awesome, and would be an instant pick,
But Engineer uses the rifle more like a shotgun,
His owerall skillset makes him more of a mid clsoe range class
Prefers to use kits (that cant change skins)

But has fun gadgets he can use for support, and has a bigger variety of skills.

Warrior had a decent skill setup for Rifle, the tipical sniping theme i would want, but
It wears heavy armor, (trough it looks good by itself) its not really fitting for the sniper.
It is centered araund melee, and range is just a side (when you must range)
There is no real build araund it. He just “can” use it.
There are insane ammounts of warriors alredy.

So anyone can help me pick a class? I dont know, the best would be a thief with a “sniper” setup for rifle, if he could use one at all. Or ranger.
I kind of feel sad, since i would like to progress as moch as possible till crismass so i dont miss out another event.
Or do you think there is a chance other classes get the tipical ranged setup for rifles as well? Or maybe Engineers get a skill set for it somethime?

Anyone can help me? Some tips?

Go warrior.

He has traits that support both the Longbow(you’ll want it for AOE)and the Rifle, which work well together for the longrange sniping gameplay you want. Also, while I don’t have screenshots, Heavy armor is pretty varied and should allow you to find some decent “sniper” armors. (In particular, the HoW armor is nice)

Trait lines you’d want to focus on for warrior are the Precision and Vitality Trees. Precision has a trait that makes rifle shots pierce (!!!) and reduces their cooldowns by 20%. The vitality tree has skills that make your longbows shoot from further away, and do more damage to bleeding targets (And rifles inflict bleed. how…. curious.) From there you can put more points into power for a direct-damage build, or go condition damage to facilitate the burning/bleeding that the rifle/bow does. It’s really up to you at that point.

Basically, what I’m sayin’ is, if you want to be a Sniper, go Warrior.
