Guild Wars 2

This topic is for some personal questions and I would really appreciate some help and general views.

First of all, I’m playing on Whiteside Ridge and I’m in a big guild. I enjoy the company of others in the game and I enjoy teleporting from events to events, doing a few dungeons and mixing up a little WvWvW to the gameplay.

I care about the complexity, integrity and the looks of a profession. Currently, I have an 80 Charr Engineer and it was quite enjoyable, all the kits at it’s disposal (maybe some of them were weak, but that could be fixed.) I’m looking for something that’s too simple and can look amazing at end-game, can do a variety of things(Lots of weapons / Attunements / Roles / Kits etc.) and it must be fun to play it.

So the choices ahead of me are Elementalist / Warrior / Necromancer

• The question is, how does these professions fit in with what I said and If you play this profession, how do you find it’s overall strength and how fun is it?

Thanks for the help in advance!

I play a warrior. I do love it and I dont really play any alts its that good..

Its very easy to pick up and play a warrior but actually quite hard to master the class and get the full potential out of it. soooo many different weapon combinations to try out with them, they have one of the largest selections of weapons ingame atm amongst all the classes. You can go bleed build, shout healing build, tanky build, glass cannon greatsword build, and many many others.. I use axe/sword and longbow and find it works in every single occasion.

Warrior seems like it will match most of want you want. To me though, the warrior is boring gameplay and doesn’t add much excitement. You wont have any issues finding dungeon parties, but you might feel a little lackluster in WvW/sPvP.

Elementalist seems like the 2nd best choice. They fit everything you want as in they are exciting to play. You can only use one weapon set, but you have 4 attuenments to swap to, so it’s kinda like having 4 weapons (20 weapon-skills). I don’t find elementalist to look amazing though endgame, as they are stuck with light armor and I’m not a fan of light armor.

Necro seems like the last one to fit. They are very good in WvW but don’t seem that ideal in dungeons. They are excellent for farming PvE and WvW kills with their amazing survivability and great AOE skills.

I heard that Necromancers fit in with dungeon groups nicely with their wells and support, is that inaccurate?

No, it’s pretty accurate.
My necro runs a wells/aoe setup, and it has been one of the easiest setups to mesh with any group.

It depends what dungeon you’re running and who you talk to.

If you try to find a PUG they will most likely much rather have a warrior, guardian, mesmer, thief.

If you run in a guild group, you can coordinate builds and make it work

Necromancer bias is bias.

It’s my newest character and probably still least played so far. Totes biased!

*shrug* It just seemed easy to support in the fights.

Though I do appreciate being called on the bullkitten of posting "any group". I shouldn’t have used that phrase.
