Q:
The class to use in PVE, DUNGEONS and WvWvW ?
Hi Yusei,
Considering your question I suspect you have played mmo’s in the past. So I’m going to say something very blunt and direct:
Forget everything you know!!
Any profession can do that, but there are some subtle differences.
Warrior + ranger: By far the easiest classes to play.
Pro: Smash your head on the keyboard and win (well ok not that easy, but compared to other classes).
Cons: It is hard to excell, meaning once you hit the max abillity, you don’’t find challanges to become even better.
Guardian: Very good at support and survivabillity, can do nice damage.
Pro: Although there is no healer class, this comes closest.
Cons: People thing of it as a caster healer. It is a frotnline class
Elementalist:
Pro: Huge damage – nuker.
Cons: can die in the blink of an eye, very low survivability and very hard to play (and remember there are no tanks or healers to protect you, so you have to survive on your own)
Mesmer – Necromancer – Engineer
I take these together, cause all three are summoners. There are crucial difference, but look those up on the wiki. In the end all three have a good balance between damage and survivability.
Thief: Huge damage, low survivability. They are hit and run type of gameplay.
In the end the best advise I can give is to play the game and try out different classes. Play them all till like level 15.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
In my honest opinion the number 1 profession atm is Mesmer. It’s not that great in PvE until you reach level 40 but once you get to 80, people in Dungeons would dance in joy if you join their group. Mesmers have good melee and ranged weapons, and they can go Invis! In WvW, Mesmers can roam and easily solo camps.
Imho – Berzerk gs warrior for pve/dungeons
D/D ellie, Mesmer, Guardian for wvw
I don’t spvp
ALL professions are 100% useful in everything you do. It’s how you play them that determines their usefulness.
The Best Profession is the Profession you enjoy the most and the profession you play best in!
If you are new to the game, I highly recommend you check this video out to learn how GW2’s Combat mechanics function:
NEXT, you want to watch this video to get an idea of how each Professions fight in combat. You can use this as a (Guide) to help you decide which professions you like trying next based on your style of playing:
Once you finish watching the 2 videos above, you can also check out my written (Guide) which explains in full details on how Armor/Traits/Combat system works if you like here:

I hope this helps you find the profession you are looking for =)

Berserker GS warrior is useful in dungeons, tho I still prefere THiefs, Eles in general pve/PvP, Thiefs get mobs down superfast and can stealth tho get skillpoints ( really usefull in Orr!) Eles are just great in alot of situations. I suggest make a class you like (general PvE) and a warrior for dungeons.
rangers and ele are good for defence. warrior and theif are good attack. this is what i think
