Guild Wars 2

My main is a lvl 48 Ranger and what i’ve seen, it is the most made class in the game, I realy don’t know why it is. Friend’s of mine got to lvl 80 on classes they hate, dont wanna do that mistake. So could anyone please help me?

1. I whould like to be able to kill all classes in the game 1vs1(if i get skilled enough). Ranger isn’t that class, if any of the melee classes get close to me, im kitten before i get them down to 50% hp. I’m maybe just bad at the PvP in guild wars 2 but that bad i cant be, lose against all classses but Guardian, elementor and necromancer(sometimes mesmer, sometimes..). And most of the time i face a warrior, thief or a mesmer im dead, i have won fights ofc, there are allways noobs/afk/laggers in games but you rly cant count that as a win.

2. I whould like to have a high survival ability when im going on elites in the open world, not so great as a ranger when you wanna kill a high damage elite that is ranged or got stuns/interupts. My pet tank for around 4hits(depends on how hard the boss is), and before you ask, yes i have a tank pet, Both my Bear and my Arctodus.

3. I wanna be fast into battle and fast out of battle. If someone needs help or i just need to get some monsters killed and i need to get in the battle fast the Ranger is great but i dont got the real burst. And since i tryed out both 2-handed sword and 1-handed sword+Torch and i see that Longbow is last, then shortbow and there comes the swords, Kinda kitten up when a RANGER hit more with swords than with a bow. It just doesn’t live up to the name in my opinion.

4. Most important thing in a game, it needs to be fun and not get “run out” after a couple of hours/weeks.

Thank you for answering, and i know some of these you whould say Ranger, but trust me, the ranger isn’t the number 1 some of these questions, but feel free to say your opinion, im open for it!

L2play ranger man. They can be decent.

If you want to facetruck people with no skill, try mesmer or thief.

This… but to be honest, Mesmer is tricky to learn and you have to set up skills and runes right to be able to faceroll in PvP, also Mesmers are a PvP centric class, so they are a good choice if you want a PvP character.

Thief is awesome and fun to play but kinda squishy if you don’t handle your agro at players correctly but they are easy to learn but not that easy to master.

Warrior is pretty easy to learn for PvP and can do tons of damage, if you use your skills right. Keep in mind that it’s no secret that some classes are going to have a bad time against others in 1vs1 but if you learn your class and master your build, you can kill anyone.

In short, every class can be awesome in PvP, my advice would be to choose the class you like the most and practice/experiment with it until you get better and better.

Thanks for the answers, and my answer to Duckzor is that Ranger isn’t good at all. You got no escape when u get slowed, not enough atleast. If i use shortbow i got my 3rd skill so i can slow them and fly backwards, and i got the 1handed sword, like the same thing but no slow.

I think im gona pick Thief since i think it is a class that’s fun and not hard or easy to learn. I know everyone says “play thief or warrior, no skill classes”. But truly, all classes can be good if you are skilled but if you allready playing a class that got masssive dmg and CC(the warrior), then you gona be a nightmare for your enemies.

Once you have an understanding of mesmer, you can face roll all the noobs with it b/c its very hard for ppl who don’t know how the mesmer works to figure out which mesmer is the real one, especially if you just stand still and press 1, and they can get confused very easily.

Theives would be a better bet though, they dominate and freak new players out as well but are easier than mesmers to learn.

Also ranger is by far the easiest class to play mediocrely, maybe you aren’t being challenged enough with how face roll easy your class is and thus aren’t learning anything about the game, in which case you should switch to another harder to play class just to better your skill. If you’re bad at strategically killing your enemies, get a mesmer to learn this skill. If you’re bad at the mechanical parts of the game, get a warrior to learn things like positioning/los/dodging at the perfect time/etc.

Mesmers completely troll and ruin PvP for everyone. Take an hour to figure out what, exactly, you’re doing with the class then proceed to ruin everyones fun.

Enjoy.

So your question is, “which class is obviously overpowered”

Why not chose a class that is not currently overpowered and proove that you do have some skill by getting good with it. All classes have decent pvp builds avaliable. By playing the strongest class now you are just setting yourself up for disappointment when balance changes (nerfs) are implemented.

All classes are op while they are all crappy….

This game is really and totally about the player using his toon…

You can make a class the most overpowered at all , while you can make it the worst…

It’s about you , your mouse , your keyboard , and mostly your BRAIN!

All I can say is, L2P ranger. You obviously don’t Tournament pvp a lot. Some of the best players I’ve seen are rangers. Some of them seem to be able to time almost everything perfectly from knockbacks to dodges, and they can even kite you without ever letting you touch them if the field is big enough.
