Guild Wars 2

I recently got my warrior to level 80 a week ago, and I’ve decided to make a new character. Don’t get me wrong warrior is great in PVE, farming and whatnot, but it’s getting kind of boring farming gold and karma. I wanted to ask the GW2 community on what I should play next. I have full exotics on my warrior and a decent MF gear setup. I run berserker gear with superior runes of divinity , a GS/Rifle setup. I kind of want a class that is fun in WvW , dungeons, and mostly something that would keep me occupied. First, I was contemplating making a guardian , but I guess I would like to stray away from another heavy character unless guardian is that awesome. Some characters that looked fun were a Necromancer setup w/ Con Dmge , Healing, and Toughness , and possibly a Mesmer/Thief. I heard some necromancer mechanics were bugged though. What classes do you guys think are fun/enjoyable? Thanks again!

I’ve played Warrior to 80, Thief to 80, Necro to 28, and the rest to 20. If you’re a min/max type person, then I don’t have a very good answer for you. So far out of all my characters , I’ve found that I like the Necro playstyle/art style the most fun.

Each character I play actually seems to be able to do similar things, in slightly different ways, so what gets me back on a certain character is the flavor that it brings.

Well I hit 80 with my Ranger and found it boring – total anti-climax.

I would suggest trying out a few, the light armor classes Ele and Mesmer are very challenging compared to the Warrior. I didn’t like the Necro playstyle.

Medium armor classes might be n in between, less of a shock in terms of inherent glass cannony of the light armor vs Warrior. But Ranger is boring, a weak Warrior so I would stay away from that.

yea so i lvled a 80 ranger first was boring lol short bow auto attack… lol and next i lvled up a 80 guardian its fun but they nerfed it for pvp which made me not want to play it in pve cause mace shield wasnt fun but gs nerf on retaliation killed alot of dps sooo now im lvling a warrior haha i want to sword and board.. but i agree if you want something that will be more of a challeneg ie die faster.. ele thief mesmer lol

I don’t know what you mean by die faster. In PvE, Dungeons, PVP, WvW? My Thief doesn’t really ever die PvE, and survives very well in dungeons. WvW thief can escape better than most other classes.

In this game, skills determine survivability, not armor type. My 29 Necro gets scaled up to 31k HP in WvW. So yeah, every class can be built to survive just fine (some are harder than others though sure).

So far the only class I haven’t really had fun on was Ranger. x.x All the other classes have had fun weapon sets and unique mechanics.

The warrior can use almost all the weapons outside of pistol and shortbow. I carry all of them and doubles of some for dual wielding. Don’t short yourself on weapons. There is a use for all for all of them.

My faves are dual axes and axe / shield though. Mostly just like the combat animations of those.

Would really like to see them bring on a Great Axe.
