Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, so just installed the game again and bought Hot. So I got the level 80 boost with my purchase. Only class I have ever gotten to 80 was my thief. And I have very minimal game experience, with any mode.

I have leveled pretty much all classes to atleast 50. I am stuck right now on who I should boost for end game content. I would like to do the raids and fractals. Also a little WvW.

The choices I have come up with so far are necro, revenant, and ranger. Revenant is very odd for me so far. But I guess I could get used to it. I have tried a little bit of all of them. Which would be the best to take into raid/fractal/wvw?

Thank you, any details would be great.

Hi SO depending on what role you would like to play in raids and WvW will change what class you play. If you like to have medium dps but massive utility go mesmer or druid. Druid is the master of healing and will mostly be just supporting teammates with heals. Mesmer is the king of utility as alacrity is a effect that gives 33% cooldown reduction which only mesmer can provide. Only 1 mesmer is usually needed in raids and fractals while 1 or 2 druids are needed in raids and fractals. Revenant has high dps with a load of survivability and cc, but your teammates will be mostly grateful for the amounts of boons you can constantly produce. Necro, well because you have HOT you can get the elite spec reaper and everyone loves reapers atm, they are top tier for fractals and raids, you can go either condi or power on necro, but for raids and fractals i suggest you go condi. So all in all necro, druid and revenant are good. It all depends on what you like to play, if you like pure dps go necro, if you enjoy dps while supprting your team with boons i suggest you go revenant and if you like utility and dps go either mesmer or druid.
Sorry but i dont really play WvW so i wouldnt have a clue what they want :P

Go with what ever one you have more fun playing. It’s all well and good.saying what class would be best, but if you don’t enjoy playing the class then you are going to regret it.

This. Though if you have some idea on what kind of role you want to play, what playstyle appeals to you, etc. we can better suggest some good options. Also, you might want to mess around in the different game modes and see which ones you want to play long term, as that MIGHT have some impact on your choice. Might not, but allowing for the possibility.

Well I ended up boosting my necro just because reaper looks kitten awesome. And I love great sword. Plus if I ever want a legendary twilight is by far my favorite.

But thank you for the reply guys. guess if I change my mind later just have to level the rest of the way.

Next question, I am new to HoT. What should I go do first. Of course I want to get my elite spec first so I can actually use the great sword. Just start running around collecting the hero points?

Also how to I get the cool reaper outfit/sword?

You one reaper sword for starting the reaper trait line. The other reaper sword you have to do a collection for. I’m currently doing the one for wild abandon. Only 2 things left to get, sadly one is maxing out Exalted mastery line.
