Guild Wars 2

Hello there, a somewhat of a returning player here; after Guild Wars 2 came out and I was finnally able to snag a copy of it from a shop I got into it, rolled Warrior (I’ve always wanted to roll warrior like characters in MMOs, but never really did until GW2, plus also I liked the style of it and the class overall), played for about month or two, got to level 53 (I think? somewhere around there) and simply got bored, because I found out Warrior to be too bland for me. I’ve been playing with a smaller guild back then, but didn’t really do much guild related stuff with them.

And while you may ask, why didn’t I roll a different character, the problem was me trying to figure out a race combo that I would like for my warrior (mainly choice between Charr, Norn and Human. Settled for Human in the end) so I had at least the first few levels of the races I was interested in played and I didn’t want to redo it, with a different class. So I simply took a break from the game.

Following several months after, I’ve found out that both my multigaming community Im part of and some good friends are playing Guild Wars 2 (though each on different servers) and I decided to play with them and trying different class than before. And now here comes the problem. I cannot settle for a class. Even the old Warrior feels more appeasing with some changes that were done to them, but still I don’t think the class is deep enough for me. And that’s pretty much the problem with all other classes. There is always that “But still” creeping in, as well as “grass is always greenier on the otherside” syndrome. To add to this, I’ve played through all 3 (norn, human and charr) starting locations numerous times and starting out again with different class feels like a chore and I quickly drop it just few levels in.

So im asking you, GW2 community to help me out with this.

Honestly, you have to keep playing, unlock more skills (weapon skills as well as utility skills), and use traits to customize your build in order to really get to know a class. If you haven’t played significantly past level 10 or so, you haven’t even begun to scratch the depth of character customization. Trust me, there’s a playstyle for everyone, and a way to build your character to accommodate that playstyle. To get more experience, try working on crafting and exploration instead of just fighting. Or if you want to mindlessly zerg to get loot and exp very easily, try the Queensdale farm.

More depth? Engineer, Elementalist, Mesmer, or Guardian. They all have lots of build options and depth of play.

Go to that page to get a brief overview of each profession and if something interests you, go to the page of that profession and see what weapons they can use and what kind of playstyle each weapon offers them. Then try it out in the game and if you don’t like it, try another weapon set and so on. That is how I went about with my characters. Honestly though, leveling in this game is a lot faster compared to other MMO’s. You can easily get multiple characters to level 80 in a few weeks. If you get bored of one character, just make a character of another class and play it for a while. Keep doing this until you have tried all professions and weapon combos until you decide to adopt one of those characters as your main or just continue swapping to another character when you are bored.
