Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

I’m looking for suggestions as far as a good AoE class/build. I’ve been playing my Guardian for awhile and think that it’s a pretty good AoE class (staff, GS etc) but I’m looking for a fun change.

BTW I don’t care for high level competition or PvP in general. Just wanna run around and crush stuff.

What I like to do the most is pull as many mobs as possible and destroy them as quickly as possible. I also like to run from event to event and help people out while exploring.

I was told Elementalists were pretty much the AoE kings but many suggested warrior, thief, ranger and necro.

So what do you guys think?

I would say go with a shatter-heavy mesmer or a condition necro with Epidemic.

As a warning, however, neither will be an AoE powerhouse at level 1. I find that most professions don’t really shine at much of anything until around level 30-40.

As it comes to AoE, the ele is the king and Queen of that. The price however is a very bad cc and being very squishy. So you have to gear, trait and skill up to counter that. This isn’t a real problem but it does mean that you can’t go on a AoE killing spree without consequences. In a zerg or a big events that isnt a problem, but all alone you might find it challenging.

But a true AoE-dealer knows that and is up to that challenge.
