Guild Wars 2

Hey there, I know there have been many topics with the same question, but I am still undecided what to play. I want something fun, something which is fun and interesting for a long time. What I dont care about is, how powerfull or good the profession is, I just want to have fun! What profession feels the best? Feels fluid?
I do not mind a challenge!
I will propably be doing alot of PVE and a little PVP on the side. (Mostly solo)
And if there are any professions you would not reccommend please tell me!
I hope all of you have a great day!

I think ele or thief is nice but ele is better with a team..but have sooo many combos and different builds so when u feel bored just switch ur build and it feels really new again for me i play the ele for 2 years and its not getting boring^^ (just annoying to use extremly much skills all the time)

Elememtalist. D/F especially.

It really depends on how you want to play PvE. If you want to use optimised builds in most group content, I personally would not use the scepter or the staff, as the metabuilds for those are as exciting as a GS camp warrior with half your skills blanked out.

Thanks for your answers already!
What would be fun builds for Elementalist? And do you have any tips for me regarding elementalist?

I disagree with ele… all the fun aspects of an ele are gone now. It has almost no mobility now. My ele has just been gathering dust. It used to be a lot of fun though.

I would say engineer. Turrets are just so fun

Why are all fun aspects gone now? :o

My beautiful ride the lightning and all the cantrips just get nerfed more and more
If i was bored I always knew parkouring around with ride the lightning would keep me busy but now the cooldown is just too long >.>

That certainly is annoying :s Is the profession still worth playing?

Well the elementalist still can deal a lot of damage and makes a deadly glass cannon. Staff ele is still pretty fun in WvW as well and good in dungeons. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first level 80 though, or even a second.

Why you don’t recommend ele as first char? I know that playing heavy classes is much easier, but if he want challenege, why not to pick hardcore class like elementalist? I also picked ele as a first, after trying heavies, which seem booring as hell and I think I made a right choice. I think challenge is much more fun than easy mode?. But that’s only my opinion.

If he wants a challenge that’s one thing, but he said he wanted a fun class, and I don’t consider an ele to be that fun anymore.
I also find the elementalist to be a bit boring these days, so it wouldn’t be a very fun road to 80. That’s just my opinion on it though, others probably disagree.

What other professions would you recommend to play?

In my opinion challenge is a part of what makes class fun. Let’s look at traditional tank, so something similar to bunker guardian – you basically don’t die, but it’s only about standing and taking aggro, while being caster (or any other cloth-leather armor class) means much faster and dynamic game. I’m not very experienced GW2 player yet, so I might be wrong. From most to least fun (classes only, without builds):

1. Engineer
2. Elementalist
3. Mesmer
4.Thief
5. Necromancer
6. Ranger
7. Warrior
8. Guardian

But still, it’s only my personal opinion, someone else might find other classes enjoyable.
