Guild Wars 2

I reached level 80 two weeks ago, and have set myself a goal for my new character, but I don’t want to spend hours upon hours farming for that one character. So I am going to start to work on an alt. I have narrowed it down to 3 professions, but can’t decide.

At the moment I run a Asuran Warrior. Built to be a Zerker, but with some gear to improve survivability. I use a greatsword and longbow.

The reasons for why I would play these classes differs
- Engineer just to mess around and have fun
- Ranger has some similar weapons, so I wouldn’t be too far outside my comfort zone
- Necromancer to stack conditions on people

I need some help picking, so if anyone has any hints as to which is better or if I got some info wrong.

Well, all three are very nice. Engineer is an oddball. I like it very very much but they are challenging.

Ranger is kinda boring. I actually advise people new to MMO’s to either start with a warrior or a ranger. The reason is they are very forgiving and have a slow learning curve. However, you might want to have something more challenging.

Necromancer is what you are saying. a conditionmancer with some weak pets.

Bear in mind that while the Warrior and Ranger may share many weapons, they do not share the skills these weapons bestow.

For example, the Warrior uses axes as melee weapons, while the Ranger uses the same axes as throwing weapons.

I think that has sealed the deal for me, thank you
