Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,
First of all i’d like to apologize for my english, sometimes i just cannot describe what is on my mind.

Generally speaking i like gw2, but i can’t play it for longer than 1h. I mean, i can’t pick class for me. Mainly i play pvp, structured looks a little bit boring atm. so i wanna level char for wvw.

Normally i would go with warrior, because it suits me the most but i always play classes with high skill cap( i like the challenge, it keeps me entertained). I think about:
1. Engi
2. Mesmer
3. Ele
(The first one is the class background i like the most)
So in wvw i’d like to roam and be useful in group as well. Should i pick engineer? Maybe mesmer? I know ele is really solid but i’d pick it only when i know that engi and mesmer are rather bad in roaming.

Cheers.

Cant comment on engi but i find mesmer is good for solo roam and group roam

Engi and mesmer are rather bad at roaming? When was this announced?

He never assumed that… He said: “I will play with my elementalist if i find that Eng and Mesmer are bad for roaming”.

He meant he’d only choose ele if engi and mesmer were bad at roaming.

Engi has a huge variety of fun builds, although arguably the best builds are pretty reliant on grenades, which are not very exciting to use.

thief is better in wvwvw than are any of the others.

Only for solo roaming or make a escape… He also want a profession that work well as support, and i wouldn’t take thief as one.

I heard there are 3 other builds besides 100nades (one for FT, one for Bomb and the other i dunno)… Can’t say tho. My engi still low level.

Mesmer is fantastic. I always feel like I’m contributing, whether roaming in a small group or as a zerg. Plus you can insta-gank thieves with 4-clone cry of frustration. It really puts a damper on their shenanigans.

Then I misread.

Here’s my real advice then. There are no classes that are “bad” for roaming. All classes have different builds that can suit a multitude of needs. I have no clue how many times these topics come up but there is no real answer because not everyone has the same play style or ability.

And with that being said, roll mesmer.

Engi has alot of ways to roam. And is amongst the best prepared classes when going into a fight. The problem is that once you’re in there are few chances that you may escape if you’re in trouble. Most likely because our ‘escapes’ aren’t blinks or dashes but work the other way around, with nails and slick shoes slowing ennemies down if they’re stupid enough to run through it. Knowing that most of your encounters will be Thieves, Mesmers and Elementalists, you better be sure of what you’re doing before going in.

If you prefer high skill cap I recommend the Ele. But my biased opinion roll with a guardian =D tanky shout master buffness.
