My friend just started playing fractals of the mists. Since my main char, warrior is already at level 17 i decided to use one of my alts. So, I wanted to ask which profession does better, is easier or more fun to play in fractals of the mists?

I’d put my money on the engineer, the ranger is amazing but the pet just doesn’t quite cut it.

EDIT: Sorry, I realized that this was quite a short and ’’easy’’ answer so I decided to at least improve on it a tiny bit.

The ranger, though able to provide DPS nearly on par with a warrior, is not in my favour since it has the pet-mechanic which slows down some (if not all) runs. (example: the Jade Maw and its laser (you don’t want your pet to get targeted (if it’s still alive that is))

The engineer however is able to provide some decent dps and conditions such as the ranger while probably being even more useful as a support-class. The engineer is also not bothered by the pet mechanism and is however able to place a small turret army if needed (I also think the turrets aren’t targetable by the jade maw but forgive me if they are.)

IINM the grenade kit for engineer has some very specific benefits in certain fractals (such as uncategorized?) because it is not a line-of-sight weapon. And of course in general there’s more group-versatility, more fields you can generate, etc. Though to be honest I imagine your skill with either class should override any of these little considerations if there’s any difference there. A good ranger is better than a bad engineer I’m sure.
