Guild Wars 2

I am a person who loves underdogs and achievements. So starting my next character and cant decide what to make. My love of underdogs and the uncommon brings me here.

While we all see Greatsword Warrior or Guardians, D/D Elementalists, etc. What is something you dont see very often?

I currently have 2 level 80 Engineers, but now looking for builds of other classes that are outside the normal. Such as a Guardian with a torch, I dont see them at level 80, but this is open to all classes with uncommon but can still be good builds, for PvE.

Thanks

Try a Warrior, they have 19 possible weapon combinations… lots to play with!

Was more looking for people who already play one, and what their build is, not a warrior but the odd combination.

I use staff, and scepter/gun combo for my Norn Mesmer. Is that odd?

As an 80 guardian with an Empowering Might/Altruistic healing build, there are times when I pull out the torch. It’s a good choice in fights where it’s best to be ranged but otherwise don’t need the defense of a focus or shield. Even in melee, sword+torch, with torch 5 crits, potentially improves group DPS more than me just using a greatsword would with my particular build, at least if everyone else is in range of EM.

That said, in the harder dungeons, always using a torch would be suicide. You’d be fine leveling (except maybe in some of the Flame Legion areas where everything is immune to burning) but in group content, our other weapons are usually a better choice.

Personally, I rarely see:

Warriors wearing anything except axes and a greatsword.
Rangers without a Shortbow.
Guardians with scepter and staff.
Thieves with swords.
Scepter&Focus Elementalists.
Engineers.

Pretty much everything else is covered. Though, frankly, you can shortcut all of this and just play an Asura, or Charr. That will immediately make you an uncommon sight, regardless of profession or weapons.

Thats about what I came up with as well, which is why I didnt want to post in every sub forum for odd builds for each of these setups. Also I already have 2 Engineers at 80 so dont really need a 3rd. Plus doing 1 of every race for my achievements.
