Guild Wars 2

As the tittle says what should i play as a beginner, i like ranged and mele, personally i’d rather ranged. i like burst damage and dot, i like cc and yeah that’s about it

Well… That’s a hard question.

1) Mesmer – Unqiue mechanics due to how they fight and the various types of temporary pets that they summon.

2) Thief – Unique casting system mechanic which uses an pseudo-mana pool instead of the standard weapon cool downs.

3) Engineer – Unique in that they only get to activate use x1 Weapon Set. However they do get bonus weapons through their skill slots and get special bonus skill slots (to theoretically make up for the lost skills that you spent on weapons).

4) Ranger – Unique mechanics as the primary pet class.

If you’re looking for a mix of Ranged and Melee, then you might want to think about something like a Ranger. You can take Bear pets to tank, you’ve got a couple different bows to choose from, and you can get take a melee weapon like Greatsword if you don’t want to be a full time Ranged character.

Another straight forward class is the Warrior. They have the Rifle for single target ranged dps and the Longbow for AoE ranged dps (which is actually more effective if you’re close to your target). Then you’ve got countless melee weapons and different combat styles.

I like my Thief and enjoy Engineers. Yet these classes don’t play like “normal” GW2 classes and I’m not sure if they’re the best choice for someone’s 1st character.
