What class???
What style of play are you looking for?
[TAS] – The Asuran Squad
Devona’s Rest
the ultimate hits
a hard class to play but when you play it good it is epic
Elementalist or Mesmer maybe? A well-played Elementalist is nearly unstoppable, but not easy to start out with.
[TAS] – The Asuran Squad
Devona’s Rest
you mean well-played how do you mean good weapon choise or?
Well played as in well built (traits, weapons, skills) but also well managed (knowing how and when to use what attunement and such).
Check the elementalist subforum (or any profession’s subforum really) if you want examples of the best ways to play it. I’m not very good with elementalist, but those who are can be monsters.

Ele is the hardest to master but the most rewarding once you have, from what I understand. I’m not pro enough to master ele, too much switching and number combos for me. They can dish out a kitten ton of damage in a very short time.
Thief is another damage monster in the right hands and can escape just about anything, which is why I love mine to death.
In the right hands, every class can be a monster I think, but pure damage I think Ele is the cream of the crop.
Ty for THE reactions but i’ve got 1 more question , i’ve try’d to play An ele and whitch race and MalĂ© or female looks THE best whit THE gear of it?
If you go ele go for female human. Light armour looks awesome on a human but the males can look kinda wierd.
Light armor in general looks strange on all males in game
You can change the look of gear however you want, so there’s no single best gear/look combination.
There is no THE gear, just lots of it.
Light armor in general looks strange on all males in game
CoF light armor I think looks awesome on male humans.
Srry for the THE my iPad just change it in rare words
If you go with ele, don’t fall into the mindset that you are just fire. The strength of the ele comes from switching between all four attunements. With that in mind don’t stack all your trait points into the attunemnet lines, but in the two generic lines.
A curses based necro puts out some pretty serious damage. It was so much fun to play, and so hard to kill (PVE) that it was my first lvl 80, with the ele the second.
I found mesmer difficult to play. It may be just my mind set or a weak class. I’ve seen other do well with them, and at times I even thought I rocked with it, but lately my mesmer gets no action other than jewelcrafting.
A shortbow armed thief put out some serious aoe damage, and are deadly melee. Engineers are very versatile, not through weapon choices, but because of the weapons kits they have at their disposal. Some swear by the flame thrower, mine live by the bomb kit. Again some pbaoe abilities. Rangers have good aoe and pboe (long bow and sword/axe) as well as respectable melee or point distance. The fernhound with it’s regen and allied regen is a nice pet to have around.
While I have a warrior and guardian and have enjoyed playing each when I did, I’ve always enjoyed fighting from a distance more so I can’t really comment on either.
As far as race, I love the uncoordinated animations of the asura. Even so, humans and sylvari get my vote just for aesthetic purposes. A sylvari no matter what the class with seed turrets is a deadly character. Seed turrets tend to draw the aggro too, so your survivability increases. If you go with norn or charr, definitely make them as small as possible. You’ll appreciate it when it comes to jumping puzzles.
