Guild Wars 2

I have a level 80 elementalist and a level 38 necromancer.

I enjoy my ele a lot in dungeons (staff for dungeons!!!) only done AC a lot but still, I find the support and damage quite nice however its in the open world I get well.. bored.
D/D is what im using at the min but its just that every foe requires me to use so many combos and dance around its not a class I feel I can play when I want to relax.
On the plus side… if I ever get there.. a bifrost would look so nice on an ele.

Necro however.. I’ve ran AC once as him and found him to be quite useful and have some good support and damage to say he doesn’t have many traits or great armour.
Outside in maps he is so nice… he actually kills foes around his own level faster than my ele does.

Problem is I really cant pick between the two.. having tried out a few things on both I really can’t decide! :P

Any hints at which could be better, I’ve been playing since headstart and still haven’t settled on a char

p.s. warrior has come into the mix but they are everywhere! :P but she is only level 11 and I don’t get a lot of play time at the min with work and everything.

Don’t settle. You have 5 slots, so just play the ele when you want to be active and play the necro when you want to be more relaxed.

Started thinking about adding in my warrior as well and just start playing them all then maybe one day ill settle :P but nice idea

I’m not going to settle.
I have now six team members running around, each in turn. They are saving gold to recruit another soon (buy another char slot).

I have one of each race and everyone is different profession. They are also evenly divided between Orders. Having them all and playing different storylines has been rewarding. There are bits and pieces revealed when playing a different path that make me go ‘Ahaa! So that’s how that guy came top be there or that’s why this thing happened’.

I trade out characters all the time depending on what I am wanting to do. First was an ele.. then a Warr so I can play the different styles when I wanted. I will say that I had more fun with my Warr when doing open world and going through maps… but for dungeons… Ele is amazing to have in a group and very fun to play. If you don’t mind leveling, I would just trade out depending on what you are in the mood for.

I agree. Don’t settle. I have a ranger, thief, ele 80 with a mesmer on it’s way.

They all play differently, and we all have different moods, so perfect. As somebody said, this game isn’t grind-heavy (with the exception of some ascended/legendary stuff). You won’t miss out just becuase one of your toons takes a 2-3 day break.

I really do like playing everything except I haven’t really tried engineer, finally managed to get to 7 char slots so gives me a lot of options to mess about. One day I would like a legendary but I think that’s a while away for me lol

I must say everything always seems appealing to me so I think ill switch between ele, warrior, ranger and nec the most then the rest occasionally! Thanks

I have 10 character slots. 2 eles, 2 warriors. Mainly because my first pick are the races I don’t want to be.

In reality, I find elementalist to be a lot more fun. If you’re killing slower than you’re necro, you are absolutely playing your elementalist wrong. The necromancer is a master at conditions, and conditions kill slow but really damage your enemy. An elementalist has probably the 2nd highest DPS behind thief.

But, as others have said, don’t settle. Each class is really fun in it’s own way. The most boring however is Guardian.

I’ve tried a few Classes like Ranger, Warrior, Guardian and i have to say that the Elementalist fit’s well for me. I like the simple fact that you can kite mobs, make use of a bit of movement aswell as switching your attunements wisely when it comes down to killing a larger group of mobs.

I didn’t play the Necro as much as an Elementalist, but it’s also a really enjoyable and funny character… Just level both, every Class in GW2 is great.

For me i didn’t like the Warrior as much as the Elementalist for the fact that melee class is some kind of a “no-brainer”.
