Need help deciding a profession!
Well, I can’t speak for the other game you mentioned since I’ve never played it myself, but I can definitely say the most fun characters I’ve played are necro and elementalist!
((helping out non-thinkers since 1989))
all class can 1v1 prity well. if u jump into WvW , so yes u need lvl to have skills, and talent build. if in random BG so u can make build just u go out from starting zone, so its 2lvl. best class for u i think is necromancer, it 1 of class who dont shine in pve at all, but in pvp they can be beasts in good hands, they tanky, have good cc, and deal good dmg. warrior is 2nd bet, they are tanky too, and on hammer weap have good cc.

It depends on your play style. I haven’t played all of them to level 80, but Mesmer, and Engineer are sort of complex to play. My top favorites are Warrior, Guardian, and Elementalist. Warrior is cool because it’s all about damage. Guardian is cool because you have support options. Elementalist is just awesome because it’s an Elementalist. I mean, come on, who doesn’t like to throw fire?
