Guild Wars 2

Playing this game a bit more, i’ve come to the realize that i prefer this 2 professions more out of everything else, Though it’s because i like these 2 the most it makes it hard for me to play one at all. EG. If i am on my Engineer i will just stand and mope thinking if i should go on my Ranger.

This is why i’m asking you guys, the community of Guild wars 2, to help me decide which one i should play and level to 80 first. I’m more of a PvE person, and for Engineer i like running Rifle + Elixers, and i refuse to use kits since i don’t like them much, and on Ranger i’m thinking of either doing a Melee ranger build which consist of weapons such as Sword/Warhorn + Greatsword or a conidition build of shortbow + Axe and torch. ( If you vote for ranger as leveling to 80 first, tell me which build i should advance on as well )

Thanks for the help!

Good afternoon,

Respectfully I must say that perhaps you should level your Ranger first so you get used to in game mechanics before leveling up that Engineer. You see, the Engineer requires you to be very comfortable with the way the game’s various mechanics work, ground targeting and combo planning in particular. I played a Ranger in BWEs, and thought Engineer clunky and awkward. Having first gotten accustomed to how the game works and what the possibilities are – i.e. “having an eye for the game” – I find it a lot easier to play the Engineer. In fact I much prefer it.

Please experiment with the Ranger to your heart’s content. It’s a great beginner profession that allows you a lot of leeway, and perhaps one day you feel like you want a challenge of a different kind

If you have any questions, feel free to post into this thread or mail me directly in game. I am not the authority on anything, but I try my best to help. I am also a leatherworker, so I can easily craft medium armor if you wish to experiment. (I find it dull that people don’t craft for each other, so I take this chance to promote social behaviour. hue hue hue :P)

Thank you.
