Hey guys, right now i feel stuck in trying to pick a character that i can trully focus on, and try to get the most off.
I’ll tell you what i like and dislike about every single one, and maybe you guys could help me out, i don’t really care about being viable and i love doing everything (spvp,pve/wvw):

Warrior – I really enjoy the power damage and the mobility, hate the ranged options and it feels like its always the same thing over and over.
Guradian – I enjoy GS and LB, aegis and blocks, but i hate the lack of mobility and other weapons.
Revenant – Really enjoy the boon stacking, and the damage output, but feels like i have no weapon options.
Ranger – I love LB, love the mobility, don’t really enjoy Druid.
Engineer – I love the combos you can do, love the perma swiftness, didn’t really enjoy Scrapper or grenades.
Thief – love the mobility, but i get bored easily with thief weapons and how squishy they are.
Elementalist – I like scepter/dagger and dagger/dagger, love how flashy it is, but i hate tempest and how squishy it is on other builds.
Necromancer – I love the power/condi builds, love reaper, but its such a slow class, no mobility
Mesmer – Love how bursty you can build it, but the class feels overwhelming sometimes

I prefer Heavy > Light > Medium in terms of looks, and i like to be able to switch things around on the go.

Sorry for my English, not my native language

It seems like for some of these you just don’t like one specific thing about the profession. Often you can just not do that part. Don’t like Druid? Don’t use the Druid spec. Don’t like Grenades? There are many other utilities you can slot in.

For Reaper, if the only thing you don’t like is the slowness, then either take the Signet of the Locust utility or deck your armor with Runes of the Traveler (I did the latter for 2 or 3 of my Reapers). Sure, it’s no longer min-max, but it removes the one thing you loathe

For Mesmer yes, it can require more juggling of skills. It took me a very long time to figure out using F5 on Chronomancer and even now I don’t instinctively include it in combat. It’s a profession full of situational tricks that need fast reflexes to use properly. Still, if you practice by focusing on one part of it for a while, eventually all the pieces come together and you have a lot of variety in your fights (unlike Warrior). Also it can change a lot just by swapping a couple of utilities, which meets your on-the-go changes requirement.

I don’t know which ones are going to be the best in all game areas as I am PvE focused. Then again you don’t mind being less viable so long as you’re having fun. You don’t like being squishy, you don’t like the repetition and low weapon choices of the heavies, so Necro/Reaper or Mesmer/Chronomancer do seem the best fit for you.

No no, try those runes OR signet! Either one gives you 25% speed, they don’t stack as far as I know. Be aware the runes are fairly expensive to get 7 of (aquabreathers need one if you want to swim fast too).
