Guild Wars 2

I usually like long ranged classes, But hit hard up close. Witch class should i pick?

Which…

So you like to play at range most of the time but like to come into a fight and get your hands dirty then back to ranged?

If that is the case then Ranger would be good, Engineer is a nice ranged class but does nothing up close. I have not played a Guardian enough to comment but that may be what you are looking for as well

Chrispytoast.3698:

Engineer is a nice ranged class but does nothing up close.

What. All of engineer’s weapon sets perform poorly at range, doing much more at close range (Poison Dart Volley will miss everything at range, Blowtorch and Blunderbuss only WORK at very short ranges, only the autoattacks and Static Shot have any kind of range on them). Then, Grenades (the only real ranged attack engineer has) are very hard to aim at things at range unless they’re standing still, performing much better at close ranges (though still technically capable of fighting at range), and the rest of the kits mostly deal with close range attacks. If anything, engineer is what he’s looking for.

For an Engineer isn’t the best distance mid distance? You are not a Warrior where you can charge in and hit things face to face then back out for a bit. As an Engineer you want to be close enough to have you skills be most effective but not be hit. Ranger at least has Melee skills.

I’ll try both classes thanks!
