Guild Wars 2

Hey peeps

So I’ve a friend that about to start playing and I reckoned it would be a good time to make another toon and go back, do some leveling with him.

I’ve only ever played Guardian (about 550 hours played) so I’m looking from something that is as different a play experience as possible.

With that in mind, what do you think i should be trying next?

Elementalist (staff) or Engineer.

Scepter/staff ele, engineer

Thief – Gimmick free immortal weasels. There are just so much you can do with stealths.

To be different than Guard go ele or mesmer. Staff ele is not fun but is very useful in groups, go dagger/dagger (choice of pvp) or my favourite scepter/dagger for fun.

Thanks guys, gonna give ele a go I think

Ele necro thief or ranger so you can enjoy the 25% extra mobility signets.

If you have a Guardian don’t paly a Mesmer. They are kind of the ranged version of guardians. Low dmg on everyhit lots of tricky and need to be in constant movment.

I went with Elementalist for my first character since I enjoy playing mages.

I think my next character is going to be an Engineer. Something about the Helsing-esque guns, trenchcoat, and brimmed hat. Using technology is also an interesting contrast to all the fantasy elements which the other classes have.

I am leveling up a mesmer now and have never noticed a lack of damage. Constant movement is no more needed on mesmer than anything else I have played.

low dmg /= lack of dmg

you just do your dmg in lot of small hits.

Staff Ele = high skill requirement

I have an 80 Guard and an 80 Ranger. I recently rolled a Nec and am having quite a lot of fun. I am primarily leveling him in WvWvW, so I’m just focusing on a build for that.

Definitely a nice change from the Guard.

What? Mesmer is almost the complete opposite of a guardian.
