First, sorry for my bad english =) and tl;dr at bot :P

i finished up lvling and gearing my guardian , and now im trying to start an alt , and i cant decide wich one..

1- need to be cloth , so i’m between Necro-Elem-Mesm

2- my main thing to do with it is dungeon runs..

3- im looking for more “direct dmg” than “condition dmg” so maybe -1 to necros (there is some good direct dmg build? )..but

4- i dont want to hate myself lvling because the lack of AOE.. -1 to mesm? (again lack of info about “aoe” builds on mesm)

i alredy tried the 3 classes on spvp… i love the mesmers there… with some phantasm builds with 1hs+pistol / gs-staff (depend the situation ) but i dont know if in pve will work… necros with some tanky build /condition dmg … and elementalist with condition dmg and “glass cannon” (fire+air+—-) and i liked the 3 .. so now im here Trying to figure Wich one can make my pve alter.

if can show me some “lvling” builds with ur class recomendation would be good.

one thing i forgot =P Sylvari famale .

tl;dr = Recomend me a Cloth – Sylvari class for Dungeons runs =).

I have a 80 D/D Ele and a 60 Scepter/focus/GS Mezmer both specced for DD not condition damage. Granted they are geared a bit different my ele is Berserker geared (pow, pricision, crit) and my Mezmer is Valkyre (Pow, precision, vitality). While my Mezmer has a number of good AOE options (mainly with GS) it doesn’t hold a candle to the dps output and AOE of my Ele. On the flip side, my Ele cannot last nearly as long as my mezmer.

They both obviously play much differently, my Mezmer during a fight my goal is generally to get up three phantasms as soon as possible and pull as many as I can while maintaining the three phantasms and grouping up as many as I can to AOE them down with GS. Whereas my Ele pulls smaller groups but burns them down twice as fast. Larger groups require more attunement swapping and far more footwork to stay alive.

Obviously a lot changes when you use different weapon combos and gear.
