Q:
Greetings everyone!
I know this question has ben asked more than most of you like, and even though I’ve nearly searched and read every topic, I still have a really hard time on which class I should actively play.
I like a class that is engaging and which keeps one wondering about the beautiful playstyle it has while fighting, but not one that needs a master degree to work it right. I also like a class that has some AoE to deal with trash mobs but can handle itself also good in a 1v1 encounter in things like PvP. In other games I’ve always liked the the supportive kind of play, being able to help others while still holding my own in PvE and PvP.
I’ve nearly played all classes for a few levels but still have troubles with knowing which one will be best for me in the long run, since I have very, very limited time to play. I can play a few hours a week so I’d like a class that can solo, but doesn’t feel dull while doing so (e.g. Ranger).
I’ll start by ordering which ones I like the most:
Mesmer: I really love this kind of playstle! With a sword and a focus in hand and a staff as second weapon (LOVE the staff!) to escape in nearly every pinch! The low damage doesn’t bother me because I love how it plays, but the thing scaring me is how everyone says it’ll be difficult later with the elite spec.
Elementalist: Again, another eye candy. But also here stuff about how you have to play piano to not die from a breeze scare me. And I never know which attunement to stay in (using dagger/focus). I know lightning 1 is main source of AA damage while switching between it’s offensive skills and fire (dragon’s breath + fire 3), switch to water when need to slow the target or heal, but earth always leaves me confused when and how to use it. Also I have no idea of even a general rotation for solo PvE.
Guardian: Playing with sw/sh + GS, like the play but I always feel like I lack the skills/knowledge of how and when to dodge when my blindness skills are on CD.
These two I didn’t really get into but caught my attention for some reason:
Necromancer: I love the ‘Death Magic’ kind of theme using scepter/warhorn, but scared the playstyle will get boring.
Thief: This one caught my attention because I find myself bad in evading damage, and having a class that has so much evades seems like it’d help me not to die as fast when fighting.
Sorry for the wall of text, and I know I’m being a difficult customer here. But I would really appreciate it if someone could help me any further!
Thank you very much for the effort in advance!
Sincerely
Acantha
