Guild Wars 2

i will talk about pvp here

in wow times i played rogue, because he have stealth and lots of cc.
later i played prot paladin. which have insane survivalibility and lots of cc too.

now i look at gw2 and dont know which class to play.
i realised that i like more defensive gameplay, so i guess i should choose warior or guardian.

for those 2 classes i guess i want weapon/shield combo for defending places.
guardian. all skills heal heal heal and heal. not so much cc i think.
warior. maybe little bit better he have some blocks and more cc? but i guess with so much healing ability guardian will survive longer.

and rogue. rogue dont looks like rogue in wow. he dont have so long stealth. only few second stealth.

daaaamn. any suggestions?
maybe other good classes?

First: there is no rogue in GW2.. Thief you mean.. And no access to stealth? You should check out all the QQ threads about perma stealthers..

While the guardian is indeed a bit more oriented in healing and the warrior tends to do more DPS, a lot depends on how you start building your character.. I have seen warriors pop heals that would make a guardian blush, while on the other hand I once saw a guard that did tons of dmg..

So, you want a suggestion? Experiment! You have 5 character slots to start with, just create a toon, head to PvP (so you have all skills and lvl 80 armor/weps) and experiment on the test golems or do a hotjoin and have some battles.. Of course, this is mainly PvP oriented..

Should you want to do more PvE (the story of GuildWars, open free world, no player killing) you’ll see that it most of the times results in a different playstyle… But also here the same suggestion stands: Experiment! :-)

Create all 3 head into the mists and test ’em out against the golems and enemy npcs.

You’re correct in that Thieves cannot stealth for extended periods of time and just walk around stealthed indefinitely, but you can stealth in combat every few seconds which you cannot do in WoW.

Of the 3 Warrior is my favorite. I’ve gotten a Guard into the 30s on three separate occasions and deleted them. I haven’t tried my Thief since they added Torment to P/D #3, but I’ve been meaning to.

Thieves are able to permastealth in PvP also, no? Ok, they will be only good for trolling (since they had to spec for it, so not that much DPS output), but still.. Or am I wrong?

They can get near 100% stealth uptime without speccing specifically for it, but it’s a lot harder and is easier with a wall… or two.

You can but you have to chain stealth. I was comparing to WoW where you just hit your Stealth button and walk around for hours without having to maintain it (aside from not getting caught).

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.. :-)
