Guild Wars 2

So, after being a founder for the game, I’m still struggling to find a class I like. I played warrior to 30, but it was a bit dull. It was just a guy with a big sword swinging it into things…woo… Guardian was much the same, except his sword glowed pretty colors.

So, I think I want a ranged class, something that is a bit more fun than just running around bashing things in the face. I’ve heard mesmer is fun, but at the same time, I’veh eard that at end game they are useless in pve and only really pvp. I don’t like pvp, so whatever character I level would be a huge PvE’r. What are you suggestions?

My second question is this, when leveling a character, I often run out of tasks ikittenone, that aren’t too high level for me. For instance, my guardian right now is level 21, but all the tasks in my zone are for level 24+, I’ve completed all the ones my level, but it’s not enough…how do I avoid this? There has to be some way to stay even with the level my tasks ask of me..

To put it bluntly, anyone who told you that Mesmers were useless in PvE at level 80 is a complete and total moron.

Elementalist using a staff is something you might want to consider, though I’d recommend the Mesmer to anyone as it is simply an amazing class at 80.

I made a elementalist and am leveling it now, will get it to 25ish and see how I like it.

That still leaves the problem of me lagging behind my tasks in level >.<

You should not be making a bee line from heart to heart. There are usually events and stuff to kill in between.

Alternatively you could just clear all the 1-15 zones first. That will pretty much leave you ahead in levels forever(unless you later decide to simply run through some zones without fighting anything).

Do you craft at all? That nets you a ton of XP. Also you don’t have to just do content in your race’s levelling zone, so if you’re a bit behind see where else you can go for your level.

My problem with crafting, is I have no money to do it with. I don’t have an alt or friends to help me with that. Right now across my entire account I have like 34 silver, and no idea how to get more.

As others have said, there’s no reason to restrict yourself to one zone. If you run out of tasks in one area but still want to level some more before moving on, go find another zone that’s near your level and do stuff there. Easy peazy.
