Guild Wars 2

Hey Guy’s,

Got my wife to start GW2. And she likes iT so far. BUT she is mot very good at the game. And mainly just stand stil in the red circles. Of she is stil learning and iT Will improve over time. But in the meen time i’m looking for a tanky class that had the most time of surviving while standing in red. I was thinking Of a warrior with a mace/shield and mauve a bow/rifle. Just to soak up all the dmg. While i place water fields on top of where with a elementelist.

Or do you have a otter idea that could work out Well?

I think Guardian might be good for a new player… Or a Ranger and let her pet take agro while shooting in the distance. Try those class maybe?

Firstly I would say to let her play what she wants to try, don’t expect her to be doing any high or hard content straight off, give her time to learn to enjoy the game and then worry about the mechanics.

I have to say though that Ranger would be my choice, but I am rather biased. The pet can take quite a lot of aggro off her, Troll unguent is a great Heal over Time skill, and if she does go down the pet can help her get back on her feet quickly while you distract the mob (I can’t remember the name but button 3 while downed is a godsend).

Alternatively the necromancer is also high survivability, particularly a minion build, or a guardian if she prefers to be in close, mace and focus give a lot of defencive abilities, but she would need to learn when to use them.

I would also suggest that you don’t spec too much into toughness for her, I’m not quite sure how it works but a high toughness does seem to get the aggro directed at you.

Hopes she learns to like Tyria.

I suggest a Necromancer with Reaper-Condi-Minion-Master build
- Flesh Wurm most of the time will tank your mobs for you
- You have traits that will give 10% of your condition damage as heal for yourself. I usually have around 1.5 – 2k heal per second on me. with epidemic, just multiple it by 5
- You have traits that will give 30 toughness per minion you summon.
- Using scepter-dagger as main dps / staff for AoE utility like chill and fear, all long-ranged.
- Death shroud as a second health bar.
- Death shroud skill number 2 for go away from mobs while you not targeting it
- Death shroud skill number 3 for reduce damage and give nearby enemy fear.
- Death shroud skill number 5 for AoE freeze the mobs (not boss though)
- Still do nice damage around 6-7k condi damage per tick (this is only bleed, theres more condi damage like poison and torment) with this build

@all.

Thx for all the awnsers.

she kinda of liked the necro. So that will probebly be her pick.
But sche will probebly try a ranger 2.
