Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Decided to come back because I missed the game and the game world, but have been out of the loop for a bit it seems. Who knew LA got blown up? Lol. Anyway I have been doing PvE when I used to play. I raised a Thief to 80 and loved the dual dagger flip stuff that it used to do. Tried Warrior but found it boring after 80. I tried my hand at Engineer for a bit, Mesmer, Guardian, just to name a few. But with the state of the game, didn’t know which direction to aim in terms of class these days. I love soloing mainly due to time constraints in real life, but I do join the occasional monster thumping happiness with others. I guess based on the current state of things I wanted to know which class might be fun to pick up these days based on PvE and Solo viability. Just want to jump into something that I can face stomp stuff to let off some steam before going back to real life. lol. Hope that you guys can help me see the light. Thanks a bunch guys.

Cheers

I’d suggest an ele. They are a bit squishy at the beginning, but they are incredibly flexible after you’ve figured out which utility skills you have to use at specific situations. Most eles use either dagger/dagger for some high speed damage and support or satff for sike solid high DPSing (while at range – its more or less the only ranged weapon with a really high DPS).
I really love my ele main because of his infinite diversity and possibilities.

I 2nd the ele. It can be tricky to master but they are so much fun to play. Especially if you go D/D. Other fun options are the necro and ranger. Both easier to play than the ele but are great at soloing pve content.

I would stick with the Thief! The skill-cap is high enough for you to not be bored, and soloing challenging things leaves a very rewarding feeling. Also you have the opportunity to “face stomp” stuff in several different manners, all very action-like and rewarding! Pew pew pistols, like James Bond, or get in close like a commando, or stealth about and do JP’s in stealth? You got it all. Great flavor in the Thief!

I’d say thief or ranger. Thief lets you sneak past obstacles and easily disengage from a fight – he’s good for convinience.

If you want to rambo your way through then ranger’s the way to go – he has both solid damage, challenging (but not maze-like) gameplay and very solid defense gamepley that lets him be the last man standing if that is needed.

That’s awesome guys. Thanks for the suggestions. Will jump in and have some fun. Cheers all.
