Need some help on deciding a class
Thief or Mesmer. Stealth seems to be big in that result, and if you’re really into the ‘no mages’ thing (wanna be kind of brute-esque), then Thief is for you. Thief has many options that aren’t extremely sneaky, involve strategy and strength, and as with all GW2 professions, have varying options for how you play/use skills.
That description is most befitting Ranger.
I personally like engineer. I know the ranged bits don’t sound like that much fun but they’re crazy versatile. But yea thief obviously matches that description best. But hell just keep rolling new ones (make sure you lvl them enough to get a good variety of skills) until you latch onto one.
Sounds like you might want to try sword/pistol theif.
