Guild Wars 2

I really need to decide on a class to stick with because whenever I think I’ve found the class for me, I end up getting it to level 10 then deleting it. I’m pretty much going to be soloing everything I can. I don’t like tank-like or defensive classes. I like to deal some really good damage and be offensive. Anything that can fit those standards? Thanks so much, I really need the help. I need to find a class I can stick to.

If you’re looking for something to engage you, and challenge you, an Elementalist is an excellent choice for dishing out a lot of pain quickly. you just have to endure those first 30 or so levels, where you’ll feel discouragingly under-powered due to how the class scales early on. It requires a lot more skill and practice to use than others, but the rewards are definitely worth it.

I might also suggest a Necromancer, or perhaps a ranger if you don’t mind playing a pet class. These are also capable of very good damage, as long as you trait right, and use the proper stat combinations. They’re also not as involved as Elementalist, making them more mid-ranged classes as far as difficulty.

For an easier time, maybe going with a DPS warrior or Guardian could be a good start point. They’re both great classes to get your foot in the door with, as the premise is pretty simple. Go smack stuff with a big weapon. You’re still going to be dodging, and all of that, but you won’t get punished as harshly if you miss a dodge wearing heavy armor.

Thanks for your help. It’s hard to like a class when everyone on the forums seems to be bashing every single one. Anyone else have any ideas?

Reading your post, Warrior is probably what your looking for. They deal some of the highest damage in the game, only thief can rival(beat) them for damage. They are good for soloing most content, having a high survivability too. Try a warrior, with greatsword/rifle for some nice damage numbers, have a longbow too. Swap longbow for rifle when you want to get maxium loot, as Longbow is great for AoE and tagging lots of enemies. Until you get your elite skill (which main use is having swiftness up), consider axe/horn, mainly because horn has a really low cooldown swiftness booster, so is great to get around quickly until you have your elite skill. Also, underwater, group some enemies together and use the 2 & 5 spear skills, that gives impressive damage numbers too.

I would say Thief if you want to stay away from ‘tank like classes’ and solo because you can deal some fun single target and AoE damage, have evades and a lot of movement and you can always call on some buddies in Ambush and Thieves Guild to help you out in the tougher battles. You also have the option to stealth and skip mobs if you so desire.

Or you could go Warrior and greatsword your way through the content.

Warrior if you want it super-easy.

Thief if you want it to be more difficult, and more PvP oriented.
