Guild Wars 2

Hello,

My first character is a human Necromancer who I just got lvl 80. I had an amazing time lvling him up but now I want to choose another class.

I made an Elementalist and got her to lvl 18. I can’t say I really was impressed as I think it is a rather straight forward class. (Fire= Pure dmg and burning, Earth = More toughness etc.)

I tried an Engineer up to lvl 9 and he seems promising but also tricky to master. That’s because even though he has few weapon choices the slot skills, elixirs, grenade packs and turrets can totally change the way you play.

Guardian (lvl 15) seems like a very limited class to pseudo tank – support as he has a very small weapon variety and the slot skills so far are based on boons.

And finally I tried a Hunter (only lvl 4) who although loved in GW I was slightly disappointing in GW 2. That might be because I only tried melee weapons and no bows and I didn’t look into the pet system at all, so I don’t wanna reach any conclusions for now.

That’s all the classes I’ve tried and my opinion about them so far.

I myself prefer range high dmg characters and good AOE attacks. But I wouldn’t mind a change.

So please tell me what you think and which class I should choose? That includes Thief, Warrior and Mesmer which I haven’t tried…

Thank you for your time. :)

Hello to you too,

I’m not going to answer your question. Picking a profession is a very personal thing and nobody can nor should tell you what you should like. My suggestion is to try them all out. I did and I came to the engineer and the ele. You can also visit the heart of the mist to see what the profession does on higher level. Last off all, you can visit the class discussion forums here to see what issues people have with a class. You should choose what you like not what others like. In GW1 (almost) everone hated the paragon, but I tried it myself and I really liked and and never understood why people said it didn’t have enough depth (unless saying the lack of depth comes from the fact that there is only one mainstream build, wich actually shows it is a misunderstood class).

Bottom line. If you value the decission so much, put some effort into investigating it yourself and don’t let other tell you what to do.

I’m sorry if I was not clear. I didn’t mean that someone else should choose for me I would just like to hear other peoples opinions about the class. Because someone who has played with a Guardian for a while will have a better overall image of the class rather than me that I have a 15 lvl one.

What I mean is that I do not wish to people to decide for me but I think that hearing other peoples opinions would be an extra help.

Also I am going to try the rest of the classes too before I choose I just haven’t done so yet.
