Guild Wars 2

I been playing the engineer and I keep died. and I know I should dodges but I always seem to get kill. I mean I know to dodge when there a circle under you and if there doing a skill attack but is seem that you need to dodge every time like to those enemy that shoot arrows of what every. what I like in a class is having both melee, for when there get close, and ranges. I like magic, dark magic I find most interesting. I like to forces on being a DPS with some good self heal and yes I know all class can heal them self. I like Heavy armor. I like PvE and dungeons but it seem to me the only way to show you a good game is to be good at PvP. i do like having a pet but not if the pet is the only reason I’m a good player
I have read about the class and I have play some of them so I’ll tell you what i think about them.
Warrior: this class seem to be the one for me, but I have play it and its skill are kind of boring
Guardian: this class has good armor and is magic but it most a supported class and i don’t want to keep heal people
Engineers: I like it tool kits but I have always getting killed
Ranger: same reason like the warrior
Thief: just don’t seem a interesting class to me
Elementalist: can for hard to play this class too with have to changing the elements
Mesmer: I herd it a hardest class in the game
Necromancer: kind of the same reason as the engineer
so if any can help me I would be vary grateful and if you could give a good reason it a good class to play

But the most fun.

Engie, mesmer, and ele require different timing than the others and a more active interaction to make sure you are in the right weapon kit/attunement/clone setup for the encounter. Mesmer I personally found smooth and really fun from level 1, others say it is horrible up to level 40 or 60 or 80, just play it and see. Thief is another thing but that is placement of character in battle and going into stealth at the right time. Frankly with ele I stayed in earth attunement for most of my leveling (scepter, dagger) and found it fairly survivable, just not nearly as good as when you get the attunement swapping down.

warrior is actually a lot of fun.

using the sword leap to get around jump puzzles, effortlessly might stacking allies in dungeons, nothing is more satisfying than resing tons of people with the banner, ton’s of fun viable builds.

hell i have three different builds i use in spvp that aren’t hambow. (good builds too) most other classes have like 2 good builds in spvp. warrior has like 5.

Engineers are definitely on the squishy side unless you’ve gotten used to most enemies’ tells and figured out what to dodge and what you can afford to stand in. That said, there’s a couple ways to mitigate damage while you’re still learning the ropes. For example, Tool Kit 4 is a 3 second block with a pretty quick recharge, and you can use shield offhand for an extra 3 second block as well.

You might also consider using one or two turrets while leveling; they’ll help putting out damage and also take some aggro, so that there’s less pressure on you. (And a tip: if you drop a healing turret, overcharge it then instantly blast it using the F1 toolbelt skill, you’ll get healed more, which can be pretty handy.)

I can totally understand if you end up deciding engineer is not a good class for you, but if you do stick with it it’s one of the most versatile of all professions, very useful in dungeons and with very good damage to boot.

I don’t just dodge (actually I have yet to use that mechanic). I strafe left or right while my auto attack is on. In fact the only times I have died is when I stopped moving.
