Guild Wars 2

So this is my first MMORPG that I have successfully managed to get a character up to level 80 without walking off and yawning at about level 50 or so (See RIFT and other such MMO’s). I currently have a level 80 Charr Warrior, level 10 Charr Thief and a level 13 Human Elementalist, while I’ve had a blast in the dungeons which I’ve never got into in the other MMO’s i’ve played mainly because of the people unwilling to let me go in with them, being generally inaccessible to noobs such as myself due to inexperience, lack of brains and having a Leroy Jenkins mentality that comes from my FPS day which you guys seem to embrace when I come bounding over as a Charr Warrior for CoF P1.

I’m at that point where I am now dipping my toe in WvW and sPvP with laughably limited success, WvW seems very daunting without one of you blue icon chaps giving orders and sPvP seems only fun when you have at least 3-4 mates in there with you having a laugh at how your Warrior seems to have his feet nailed to the floor (i hate ranger’s, more specifically my mates ranger).

So now finally the what I am getting at, I want to go more into PvP with 2 more characters and would love some on advice on where I should go next, I would like something that is a challenge and aggressive and a supportive class, I don’t know why but guardian never appealed to me although I should at least try it and engineer seems to be very niche, while Mesmer seems to be the most challenging and rewarding, not forgetting the other classes of course. That being said i would like to extend my PvE interactions as well.

You’ve probably realised by now that i am pretty clueless when it comes to MMO’s, you can blame Call of Duty and Battlefield for my lack of errrr mind brainz.

Appreciate any help and advice.

.Personally, I Like The Necromancer If You Want A Good All Around Class. Great Damage Both Condition And PoWer. Good Survivability With Access To Two Type Health bArs With Death Shroud. A Good Direction Is To Figure Out What You MainlyWant ToDo. Wvw Ho Wells With Staff, MoreSolo Go A Hybrid I Find Is Really Effective. You Can Go Many RoutEs With A Necromancer And Not Get Bored.

And Just E Mail Me Ingame And I Can Show You OrEven PlayWith You While Your Online And Help You Start Off

Don’t scare newbies off with that….thing! Reading it hurts! Write normally dude, I know you can do it!

Now, as per OP requests, here’s my suggestion: roll either a mesmer or an elementalist. Both classes can be pretty supportive, one with its awesome utilities such as Time Warp, Illusion of Life, Veil and Portal, the other with its auras or its good access to water combo fields and direct healing. They can also be played aggressively with good results, both in WvW and SPvP, but only as direct dmg dealers. Their condition builds are weak. Both are quite hard to play and not as straightforward as Warriors so prepare to have a rough start, especially if you jump into PvP right away.

Necromancers are again a great class both in SPvP and in WvW, and while they are good at supporting, they don’t do it through buffing their allies but by impairing their enemies with weakness, cripple, chill, blind and boon-stripping

I don’t play the first two classes, so take my advice with a pinch of salt. Hopefully a more experienced player can chime in.

Thanks for the advice, would like to see a few more responses and words of advice although the mesmer is becoming more and more appealing the more I look at it. The necro looks fun as well but niether of them seem to be able to level as fast as a warrior and I’m worried leveling the two may drive me up the wall.

Would like to hear from a few engineers as well.
