I’ve been playing this game for maybe 2 weeks now and I’m unable to decide on a class to the point that the game isn’t fun anymore.

I start a class, I visit the forums read what people write, try to play the class in PvP aware that many are higher leveled then me in WvWvW or have more experience in normal PvP.

I either get destroyed or I own everyone and it’s not even fun because its no challenge.

I need a balanced class. I need something that will do well in PvE and PvP (not playing a support role) but isn’t kittenedly overpowered or stupidly underpowered.

I tried thief but globaling people without trying got old really fast, deleted him.

Bunker built a hunter and did good but I couldn’t stand micromanaging a pet that had 40% of my damage tied into him.

Tried Guardian but after trying a Warrior who can also use ranged weapons I couldn’t stand being a Guardian who could only be a buffer if he wanted to be ranged at any point. On top of that they are just too over played.

Tried Warrior but I felt like my only job was to run into a fight and mash buttons until I died a horrible agonizing death or my opponent did.

It was normally the latter.

Tried Elementalist but I can’t stand the playstyle. These guys are one of those classes that your average player or new player can’t pick up and be good with you have to spend a long time mastering the class and then you suddenly become the best 1v1’er in the game. Can’t do that.

TL;DR I need something that I can pick up and do averagely with that isn’t under powered or overpowered and is still fun. Something that isn’t too overly played, something that I can be happy with and call my main character.

But I’m really afraid I won’t be able to find it…

Any help? Please?

You’ve eliminated all but mesmer, necro and engineer, of which both necro and engineeer are more support than powerhouse. If you want good power in PvE, PvP, and WvW, I’d probably recommend elementalist, guardian, mesmer, or warrior. Yes they are overplayed, but they are overplayed for a reason. They do well in all areas of the game and support many builds. Thieves are powerful in WvW and PvP, but are pretty bad in general PvE and dungeons. Rangers are strong in general PvE and good in dungeons if you can micro the pet, but are comparatively weak in WvW and PvP.
