Hi all, got the game for Christmas and am completely new to guild wars. Must say I am loving the game so far except for one thing.
I find myself character hoping ALOT, I simply cannot find a profession that really excites me yet.
So far I have tried every profession and quickly change because there is something I don’t like about them. I want to level and focus on WvW (hense why I posted in this section).
But anyway on point, what I am really asking is if anyone can advise me on a class that would closest match these criteria?
- Condition damage based.
- Can take a bit of damage and not just get one shotted by everything.
- Ranged class.
- Not have alot of AoE that I would need to activate then aim at the ground (more bounce attacks or cone based attacks would be fantastic).
- Not have pets.
So far the professions that appealed to me most have been:
Ranger, Engineer, Necromancer, Thief and Mesmer
I prefer the ranger most of all because of the shortbow but I really hate the pets that I need to use.
Engineer would so far be my perfect class with the dual pistols but the whole thing where I need to throw elixirs at the ground to buff things etc is just not for me. That bored the hell out of me doing that.
I am still leaning towards the engineer at this point but I want to know if anyone out there can help me. Is there a build for an engineer that doesn’t need to throw all those elixirs around?
Thank you for your help.
