Guild Wars 2

Hi, im curently stuck between Necro/ Engie/ and Ranger. I love a class with a lot of variety and support. I love all 3 classes a lot and catch myself switching in between them every few hours.

Can anyone tell me how each class is at lvl 80. If they have alot of viable builds for WvW and PvE?

Also im hearing a lot about rangers getting kicked from dungeons. Is that true?

I’ve been in the same dilemma (with those same 3 classes, ironically) and I think if you really want diversity and support, go Engineer!

I’m having the most fun with that class so far. It’s a challenging play style with lots of different buttons and skills you can play with. Keeps it interesting

I can’t speak from a level 80 stand point but as the fun factor goes, try Engineer!

Ty for the input and il try to main Engie Was just doing WvW with ranger and felt i wasnt doing enough for the team.

Wish Engie had better looking kits or baack packs

I like all classes in the game, but Necro is my for me the best. There are not much supporting skills, but they are realy powerful in right build.
Btw. Ranger is not meant to support directly at all.

Don’t know where the “ranger is not meant to support directly at all” comes from. Rangers can be strong group support characters. Spirits, once you learn how to keep them out of AOE attacks, are quite effective at group support. Furthermore, Healing Spring is by far one of the best heal #6 abilities around. Long term water field? Blast finishers are awesome here. Yes, please. Remember also, your pets F2 abilities can be quite useful indeed for your group. Beyond that, some of their direct attacks trigger with your field. Get a Reef Drake and watch the blast finishers go in your Healing Spring combo field. Quite nice. Try a Moa Bird and the F2 to spread protection to the group in an aoe. If you don’t have another source of protection, this is nice as well. There are others, but you get the point.

Necromancer is a strong support class, as support is more than just direct healing. For the necromancer, boon manipulation is one of their most powerful abilities. Not just the fact that the Well of Blood is a strong healing aoe, but the fact that as a Light field it offers both condition removal and retaliation for your group based on their combo finisher. Add to that the wells for condition-> boons and you’ve got a lot of potency there for support.

Engineer is so flexible it can support in numerous ways. If you’re looking as to which one to run, OP, I would just suggest keeping leveling each one and swap as you want when you get to 80. I have multiple support characters so that I can swap based on what I want to play but also what we need for our particular team composition. No harm in having multiple support characters.

Those 3 are probably the worst classes for PvE. WvW, almost everything has a role. Necro I would suggest being the best for WvW as it’s easy to apply conditions, aoe, and survive.

Ranger is good for PvE because of its range and its pet, which, against mobs, is a great distractor.

Engi is good for PvE because… Nades. Nades everywhere.

Necro… Eh, I don’t know. I’d have to ask a Necro to comment on how PvE is like for them here.
