Engineer or Warrior?
In my opinion, i can say that out of all professions i have (all lvl 80 except guard and ranger), i enjoy Engineer the most of all of them.
They can feel a bit clunky from time to time and CAN be tiresome if you use granades alot. However, they are incredibly FUN.
They are best at nothing except being able to do EVERYTHING to a certain degree, and maybe arguably have the best CC (crowdcontrol) in game with knockbacks, pulls, stuns etc.
As much as i loved my warrior though the first few months once i were new to GW2, i can never, i literally mean never – ever go back to play him. Just because of how simple and exremely forgiving they are in my opinion. You will however run across Warrior Loyalist claiming they are the hardest profession in game. Which in my and most non warrior mains claim is false.
Im not saying engineer is the hardest prof. to play, but they are amongst the hardest acording to probably most “Polls” that have ever been made in GW2 regarding the question.
Quick summary:
Engineer:
- Incredibly fun, you have the most tricks in game.
- Can be played as any role, however “not best” at any of the main roles.
- You will break your fingers if you play with granades too much.
- You will feel awsome when you understand the prof. and starts dominating.
—— Dont EVER play full turret build, it goes against everything Engineer is supposed to be. Its a no brain build that stomps bad players without any actual skill. —--
Warrior:
- Very much damage if specced for it
- Naturally Tanky with highest base HP and heavy armor.
- Most groups will love having you in any situation.
- Fancy Greatswords…
—— I find it incredibly boring to play Warrior, with only 10 weapon skills, a passive heal and a single “unique” profession ability. You will learn the profession very fast, and acording to ME, you will master it very fast if you got some knowledge about the game and other professions. Just not fun at all in my opinion. —--
Hope no one gets offended since its only MY opinion of my experience. But i hope it was helpful in some way.
Hope you find whats best for you
