Hi all! Finally, today I bought the Guild Wars 2 and before play, I’d like a little guidance. I’ve been testing some professions during the weekend test, but I still have doubts about the decision to choose a profession. The best is try some more classes by myself, but can you give me advice those that you are more advanced with your professions.
In the spotlight I have to Mesmer, warrior and thief, from highest to lowest.
I like trolling, stun and play with the minds of the enemies, then mesmer would be ideal.
I don’t like to wear light armor. I have seen some very good light armor, but most are a bit ugly, so I prefer the medium and heavy.
I don’t like the support role. Therefore I would like to know if damage mesmer is viable. In terms of crowd control I have not had many chances to test how this role works, I guess It’s better than support, but still, I like to do DPS mainly, the mesmer, don’t do the same dps as the warrior, but he does it in a way or another.
I want to use a kind of Sword as my main weapon, greatsword or 1 hand sword with pistol or other sword. I’ve always liked the swords and I don’t not like staff and other weapons from mages.
For now Troll + Sword = perfect class for me, but can any good mesmer tell me if greatsword, sword + gun or two swords is viable. I want a sword as my main weapon and do damage.
I’ve been reading a bit about builds with swords and it says that it is viable, but a lot of people say that the berserker is bug and some have the sword as secondary weapon.
With all that I have said, which profession is for me?
Thanks for the answers!
