Guild Wars 2

I’m looking for a class that has : decent, if not excellent survivability , variety in combat, to be effective at range, and not to use Medium Armor ( I know it’s petty, but I don’t like how it looks ).

Mostly I want someone who can outlast their opponents and has variety. I tried the necro, but they only really can do conditions and pets. I tried the Guardian, but they don’t have any range and supposedly are a cookie-cutter class. I tried the elementalist, but they seemed to be to reliant of burst damage and weren’t durable enough.

I could really use the opinions from people who have taken the time to test their professions and their many different capabilities.

With the pre-requisites you’ve listed you’re pretty much left with Warrior, possibly Mesmer as well but Warrior is a better fit for what you’re looking for.

I tried the warrior and I can’t seem to do a lot of damage with it. I really like their bows but their utilities seem to mostly compliment melee. I can’t seem to find the balance between damage and durability.

Honestly If you don’t like warrior then I don’t know what to tell you. You can try and build a tanky Ranger which would give you decent survivability . But from my experience the class your looking for is Warrior Rifle.
