Guild Wars 2

I currently have a guardian in his 60s but need a change of pace. I want to try a more range-focused class for WVW but have no interest in eles. Would love suggestions about whether ranger or engineer would make a good choice.

I absolutely LOVE my Ranger in WvW. I honestly feel like I do very well in WvW and have no problems in most situations I come across whether it’s Commanding, Ganking, or Soloing.

On a side note, I would DEFINITELY not recommend the class if you want a 1-button win class. If you wan’t that roll a thief Ranger takes a bit of strategy, but once you have a handle on it, your potential is amazing.

Best of luck!

I don’t have an engineer, but I do like my ranger. Works ok in the Zerg, but really shines as a roamer and 1v1 class. You never feel alone with that pet at your side.

That being said, Rangers do have some problems with oddly delayed pet skills/ pet pathing/pet survivability in the Zerg vs Zerg. And some traits that don’t make sense.

No offence, but being a weak class doesn’t mean it takes skill… ranger is painfully easy to play. Thief done properly is actually quite the art

As for the question, i’d take the engineer. I just love the utilities on the class, although I wish you’d get to use them rather than feeling you should have a weapon pack in a slot

I definitely want a decent challenge and have little interest in thief.
