Guild Wars 2

Hi! I’ve been having trouble finding the right class for me. It’s a big probably because I can’t even enjoy the game because I usually just get my characters to around level 10 and then delete them. So in other games I usually play the offensive role. You know, Assassins, Rouges, etc. Now I know, guild wars 2 professions don’t have roles, but I just want a high DPS and I don’t care for defense at all. I’m looking for a class that can finish fights quick. Now don’t suggest warrior. I have played a warrior multiple times and it is dreadfully boring. So thanks for your help in advance.

Play thief than. Also how long did you play warrior. Because level 10 is not even close to enough time to get to know a class.

All right, how about Mesmer? I have a guildie with a zerker build that annihilates things and can live through a lot in dungeons (she gets downed plenty, but Mesmers have leet downed skills and we pick her up again to keep on destroying stuff for us).

Even without zerker as in my two mesmers, I feel highly effective in PvE.

You won’t see it at level 10, though. A lot of the joy in most professions develops later on as you get trait/utility synergy going and figure out the weapons you most enjoy. Try going to the Mists and playing with practice dummies on various professions. You can make a level 1 and go do that to test without having to level. (maybe you must do the training to level 2? I dunno, I myself don’t really feel the need to test max skills before I’ve learned them via leveling).

Agreed. Thief has highest single target dps/burst. That’s no guarantee you won’t think it’s boring though.

I know people have been raving about the mesmer, but isn’t it kinda.. girly?

Just make a Charr one….

Only if you’re not man enough for it.

All classes in this game have reasonably good deeps. If you just want to be the class that just rushes in and bashes on stuff with no regard for support (whether offensive or defensive) or other gimmicks (like mesmer minion summoning), thief is probably your best bet. People think warrior is good DPS but they are actually more of a support class than a DPS class. It’s just that when you are piling on offensive supports it tends to make your own DPS look decent in the process. Thief is the closest thing in the game to a raw DPS class.

Slap Miley Cyrus alongside that and you have the most offensive class.

I dont think he meant those, maybe i think he has a problem with the color of the skills and the purple butterfly maybe?

only if you have issues . Just remember purple was a color that showed wealth or royalty in ancient times .

It’s not the purple part, purple is my favourite colour. It’s more the butterflies and such.

Think of them as tiny vultures in disguise. You’re welcome.

Thief and Ele are probably your best bets for incredibly high damage. Both are very squishy though. Thief you could use the typical Backstab set up for single target spiking, or make use of a Sword for AoE. Ele’s high damage mostly comes from Lightning Hammer and Fiery Greatsword. Using Scepter/Dagger or Dagger/Dagger also brings good damage, and Scepter/Dagger has alot of Might stacking combos to increase damage
