So which do you prefer? I got a 30 norn ranger, and I enjoy him. I also enjoy my 23ish Thief. Both seem like they’re fun, I like thief’s abilities a bit better, and I hear they can do really well in pvp. Could anyone recommend builds? Im also thinking of working on a Mesmer and a Warrior too.

Warrior for sure. Our Crit/damage is off the walls.

They really bring other classes to the house of pain.

I have a level 35 Sylvari Ranger, and a level 31 Human Thief.
Both are fun.
The Ranger has an Arctodus bear, I love their mauling and high survivability.
She uses a Longbow, and that’s it.
The Ranger’s skills are: Troll Unguent, Signets of Stone-Wild-Hunt, and Rampage As One.
The Thief uses a pair of pistols for ranged, and a pair of daggers for melee.
Her skills are: Hide in Shadows, Blinding Powder, Shadow Refuge, Signet of Shadows, and Thieves Guild.
I’ve never done pvp so can’t say how they’d do.
I’ve taken both against boss’ 2-3 levels above them with no problems.
However, I prefer the Thief, for exploring she’s unstoppable, she can keep targets blinded or at a disadvantage, and I never have to rez a pet, or manage the pet’s skills during battle.
In the end… It depends on what you like, not what I like.

I might mention that the scuttlebut says a Guardian is pretty good in pvp.
