Guild Wars 2

As stated I’m on my way back to the game, and excited! I left before Fractals came out so I’ve been hearing it’s a bit different now.
Also, from what I’ve read there have been some class changes as well. I used to play a Guardian & Thief, but not to sure what to roll this time (This is a whole new account).

I like the Guardian playstyle to an extent, but when I used my skills it almost felt like nothing happened. Thief was great, and i’m leaning that way. Can anyone persuade me to check out another class? I’m open to all playstyles, just something that is fun.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome back!

I have played every class to some extent, and I find them all fun. It’s pretty much a matter of personal taste.

Guardian is primarily a group class, so it may feel lacking solo. In groups, though, they provide great support. Thief is more of a solo, damage-oriented class. I’d recommend you to try any class that catches your fancy, but if you want:

-A strong solo class: Elementalist. Though they’re frail at first, in endgame, they’re one of the more independent classes. They have the lowest base health pool and base armor, but also perhaps the best self-recovery abilities, and are capable of soloing many group enemies when played and built right. Ele requires you to switch attunements rapidly and adjust quickly to situations to survive, so it’s a fast class with lots of button presses and memorization, and a steep learning curve.

-A strong damage class: Warrior. Warriors have the highest damage of the classes when geared and played right, and therefore are in high demand for speedruns. They start out newcomer-friendly due to their high armor and health, and can plow through most open-world content, but in more challenging content in later levels, they require good dodging skills due to their poorer self-recovery abilities.

Those would be my suggestions, but again, try any class that catches your fancy.

No, I would stick to thief if you really like that class…

I just came back after being gone a year. I have a thief I really like her . But if your not sure just experiment. It sure couldn’t hurt and if U ever pvp knowing a good bit about all the classes can be very beneficial

Thank you all for the replies!
