Guild Wars 2

Hey all, coming back to GW2 after almost a year away, and looking forward to HoT. I haven’t had any experience with the beta, so am not sure exactly what to expect when the xpac hits and am wondering which way to go as far as profession. I have several 80s, but no real attachment or investment in any of them. Ideally, I’d like to settle on a profession to main and stick with it. I mainly do dungeons, PVE and a small amount of WvW. Raids are something I’d like to get into eventually. I’ve found I prefer ranged classes and builds that are more support oriented in this game.
Here’s what I have at 80:

Guardian – Have read that they won’t bring much to the table raid-wise that another profession already does better, but I love their aesthetic.

Mesmer- Like the playstyle and understand they are great for groups; most of the builds I’ve seen have them a little squishy.

Necro- Love the durability, have the majority of my playtime on this profession, but they have no love in dungeons.

Engineer- Way too busy for my tastes; if they had a viable rifle only (lol) build, I’d probably love it.

I recently started a Ranger and am interested in the Druid specialization – definitely a possibility.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion to you is the same as it is to anyone else who asks “which spec to play”?

The answer: Whatever you like best. Don’t be bound to current metas or by what certain groups of players want YOU to be. You do you. Otherwise, you probably won’t have as much fun as you could be having.

That having been said, rangers tame bacon so rangers > all classes. -Sid
