Guild Wars 2

Hi guys I’m looking for advice on the above classes. I’m looking to change from engi to something different and the warrior or mesmer fits the bill. I play pve, Fractals, dungeons. Some wvw some pvp but this is to be my main.

I love a good mix of combat, ranged and melee with some nice aoe. I want in the long run to be able to solo champs, dungeons etc.

Your advice would be great

Look no further..roll a warrior bro

Warrior. Mesmers deal pitiful DPS in comparison. Both classes can burst, sure, but a warrior can burst much more frequently. In a game with no trinity, damage always wins.

Mesmer- very versatile and can pretty much change into a new class by just switching weapons and some traits.

Great fun to play and if you have an Engi you are used to a more challenging class.

Only thing is AOE is not exactly Mesmer’s strong point

it is a very strong solo class.

For me Warriors are unutterably boring to play- have never been able to get one past lvl16 or so.

Mesmer has little to none AoE, while warriors cleave their way into anything. However mes has incredible single-target dmg. Both are wanted in FOTM and dungeons, same for WvW… You would just have an easier life as a warrior due to high HP and heavy armor. And you will be more easily accepted in pug groups as a warrior, since pug mentality is “the more heavies, the better”, while kicking any second mesmer that joins the group. It’s silly since 2 mesmers in a group can be pretty awesome, but there you go.

I myself main a warrior and am very happy with my choice.
