Guild Wars 2

So after spending a while perusing forums and testing out different builds in spvp, I’ve decided that I want to roll a profession specifically for wvw. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 choices: engineer, Mesmer, and elementalist. My question is, which of the 3 do you guys think is the most viable/entertaining to play? I mainly like to solo roam or roam in large groups, but sometimes I like to stick with the Zerg for a change of pace. Thanks in advance guys

I got all 3 but my favorite is engineer. When ranger sb and pet range got nerfed this is one of my most used character in wvw. I’m using mainly grenades in utilities i use toolkit and a elixir and occasionally bombkit. they have a skill for every situation and they can do some serious damage in large battles.

Agreed engineer is my absolute favorite! I’ve just started playing a d/d ele too and he’s quite enjoyable as well but I don’t feel quite as much as my engi! I also run heavily grenade focused build with rabid condition armor and also occasionally run bomb kit when running with my guild for fire fields and blast finishers…wen solo roaming I usually keep my dual pistols out and enjoy having wrench because of the huge confusion damage and pull but it’s 1 attack feels lackluster…I haven’t experimented with elixer fun yet tho I’ve heard it can be fun and there are some very tanky flamethrower builds out there!

mesmer. if you want to solo roam, stealth helps a lot. To be honest I roam 99% of the time and I rarely if ever come up against a solo eng.

All of them viable, all of them entertaining?

I’d personally pick Engineer or Mesmer. Never liked the Elementalist gameplay, probably never will. If you want it specifically for WvW, Mesmer has the edge. Its just a usefull class in any small or large group situation. Engineers are good, but their usefulness is sometimes questionable. They are… replaceable. Only thing I can think of that the Engineer really does better is swiftness (easy perma swiftness/vigor). You can do it with centaur runes on the Mesmer as well (mantra = more than perma swiftness) but it kind of limits your gear.
