Guild Wars 2

Hello!, I’m a former Wow, runescape player etc.. played to many games hehe.

What ive enjoyed in all MMorpg games is to farm gold or mats to sell on Auction house, which Class Would you suggest me to make and why? for farming mats/gold/Gear.

Either Something with good burst dmg or AOE.
and that will not die that easy hehe.
and the perspective point should be at lvl 80.

Best Regards Wishes a GW Noob.

really you can pick any class you want. can spec them to your playstyle. i play all 8 classes and have no issues with any of them. Orr event farming can be done the way you want with any class.

i know that kind of sounds like a cop out, but it’s true. the game is pretty slick like that.

oh Allright!, Ill try a ranger then!

For farming what you’ll want (in addition to the survivability you’ve mentioned) is speed. Speed to travel across the map as quickly as possible to get to those crafting nodes/mobs/etc.

I would recommend the Warrior. He has the highest base HP in the game (tied with necro, funnily enough) and can wear the heaviest armor in the game. They also have a very good elite skill called Signet of Rage You’ll note that it gives 30 seconds of Swiftness, at a 60 second cooldown. Using Superior Runes of Speed you can increase the speed boost of swiftness to 40%, as well as increase the duration of that swiftness up to 36 seconds. Coupled with the trait Signet Mastery you can get 36 seconds of improved Swiftness on a 48 second cooldown. Throw in the swiftness from a Warhorn’s Charge and you will be the fastest moving class in the game, all the time.

This will allow you to farm very well, without affecting your build too much (10 trait points and runes is all that’s required, and use of 2 skills that are already very good) You can fill out the rest of your gear/skills/what have you for Burst (Which the warrior can do, but is not suited for) and survivability (Which the warrior does easily, even when not built for it)

This will allow you to farm all day/night while minimizing downtime.

I would now like to point out, however, that if you’re wondering what character to play, you can try out any character at level 80 by making your character, completing your tutorial, and then going to the Structured PvP zone (availble via an icon at the top of the screen. The button you’re looking for is labeled “Travel to the Heart of the Mists”) Structured PvP allows you to be level 80, with all of your traits and skills unlocked, so you can play around and learn any class without having to level them up. So don’t take my word for it, you can go try it out yourself!

(Note that any class can accomplish 100% swiftness uptime, there is just lest investment required for some than others. Warriors are one of the easiest classes to accomplish this with, IMHO)

good choice and welcome to GW2 btw.

i’d also suggest you try a few different classes. i was pretty surprised how different each class felt. my favorite class atm is the ele, and mesmer being my least fav (for PvE content).

ranger is a fun class though. most classes stop gaining abilities fairly early, but with ranger you’re getting new pets in most new zones you hit.

again, welcome to GW2 and enjoy your time in game!
