Guild Wars 2

I feel like playing some melee dual wield & wondered what the advantages were for ranger, thief, and warrior. Build would be for solo leveling mostly with a touch of dungeon play.

Thanks for any insight you can share.

warrior and thief are both good dual wielding for Leveling and dungeons.
Warrior Axe/Axe and for dungeons Axe/Mace (for vulnerability).
Thief Sword/dagger and for dungeons Sword/Pistol and Short bow for ranged.

I think I’ll try the warrior to start & see how fluid I can get with it. Thanks for the input.

Ranger in melee has a lot of free dodging. Useful for solo open world play.
Thief falls into this category as well, but you have more control over then they evades happen.
Warrior won’t dodge as much but you get more blocks, mostly with conditional effects.
Mesmer can dual wield too, and have blocks with additional effects.

Dual wield to me is two katanas, rapiers, etc, one in each hand.

Two weapons the same.

As per NWN1 Rangers.

Sword-dagger ranger or dual-sword mesmer!

And coming soon!
Shiro Tagachi legend on Revenant.

Can hardly wait!

Current true dual wielding and viable builds are:
Dagger/Dagger thief and ele
Axe/Axe warrior
Sword/Sword mesmer, warrior (as cond build) and soon revenant.

Some viable “semi” dual wielding:
Sword/Dagger or Axe ranger
Sword/Dagger Thief

an axe/axe war with signets and Signet Mastery can but out some awesome deeps, i even play it in unranked pvp for the pure damage
