Guild Wars 2

What class is your favorite?

don’t have one. i have an ele, warrior, gaurdian and necro i play in wvw. i will say that i like the ele the least of them all but still enjoy it from time to time. i have 10 builds between those 4 so i im never really locked into a certain play style. which i enjoy

I have 8 80s and honestly its hard to say. I like to revisit each and main one for a while and then move on to another. Each has very different play styles so it breaks up the monotony of doing the same roles all the time by switching. Right now though, Im maining a hammer warrior and Im really loving them.

Engie and nothing else in the world.

Arrowcart obviously.

Ranger. .. the portable arrow cart..

So far, Thief and Guardian. The Thief has superior movement, the Guardian has wards and durability.

Depends what for, I use GS/S+S Mesmer for small group/solo roaming and D/D Elementalist for bigger group play/Commanding.
Both work great in their separate roles for my play style.

As the others here say it all depends on what you’re running.
I have 5 80s (thief, warrior, ele, guardian and engineer) and a low-level ranger and mesmer.

Thief is epic in small groups, especially when we’re running with the guild. I drop stealth, everyone goes in, then we slip into a zerg and aoe all around. 2 minutes later there’s no zerg.

Elementalist is crazy AoE on staff, hitting 4k per fireball that rains down on the enemy. Staff elementalist works best when you’re running with a zerg or holding a position.
D/D ele works best for roaming, with a nice sustainable healing and enormous mobility.

Engineer is pretty much dependable upon grenades: works good for defending fortifications, and works good for aoeing walls.

Warrior: works good if you’re running with a small team. Probably not bad in zergs either, but he dies pretty fast if you’re on berserk.

Guardian is master support. In zerg I use staff/scepter-focus. In roaming I use greatsword/staff. Works great in any mode.

Mesmer: perfect deception, great in teams for portal and very nice on sword/torch.

Ranger: sniper, arrow spam.

Warrior 90% of the time Engi 10% of the time.

Got lvl 80 Guardian and Necro too, but almost never play on them.

I like taking many different professions into WvW but at the moment I really enjoy necro for the boon/condition conversion aspect of it. Staff has some really nice control options and marks are just great in zergs. Death Shroud can be very useful, and a well placed epidemic is just so satisfying. I keep switching between power and condition builds, I really enjoy both.

I also enjoy playing mesmer for the utility it brings. Portal, veil, timewarp, nullfield, mass invisibility and so on are always useful. I take my ele and engie into WvW pretty regularly as well.

Thief and Arrow cart.
All another classes - nothing special, especially Engi and Ranger.

Guardian! I love to command on mine. Excellent group support and aoe heals with Tome of Courage!

All 8 classes at 80. Really depends on what I’m in the mood to do, and how I want to kill.

The glory of having all 8 classes at 80 is revisiting one you haven’t played for awhile, and getting re-addicted to it.

Give me my necro over all else

Have multiple toons at 80, but the one I enjoy the most is my ranger. I love the flexibility of the class: Whether you want to roam solo or join the zerg, be a DPS beast or more supportive, we have the skills and traits..

I love a really annoying DPS guard, use a healing build and just hammer 2 the enemy and you’ll be allllll good hahaha

Hammer Warrior Shout support 10 0 30 30 0
PVT gear+soldier runes
PVT hammer PVT Axe+PVT Warhorn
Berserker trinkets
Maintenance Oils
100 Toughness 70 Precision food

It gives great Support with AoE cleanse and heals+damage is still pretty high

My main, the necro, for all kinds of stuff.
When im roaming and want to play in easymode, i use my thief.
Sometimes (hammer-)warrior in the guild-zerg.

I also have 1 of every other class but i barely touch them anymore and almost never bring them to wuvwuv

pre nerf mesmer, but the overdone confusion nerf completely destroyed the class for me, so currently my Elementalist because its probably the most versatile class to play. Effective in both roaming and zerging

Condition Mesmer, or Thief (Evasion/Condition hybrid, usually using some combo of S/D, SB, P/P)

Although, I’ll bust out the Cleric/Magi Ele or Condimancer when necessary.

On group its guardian, but in a group of 2 or solo, thief.

I love my war so fun to be able to be tank and dps’e. Hammer war is also really fun.

Melee Ranger

Its a blast trying to solo groups, and with a few tweaks to my build it becomes great for group work.

I love my Guard as well but IMO nothing beats flying all over the place on my ranger.

Divebombing engineer!

I have an 80 Guardian, Warrior, Thief, Necro and Ranger.

Out of all of those, cept the Ranger, nobody likes Rangers. I chose to main my thief. First character, fits the type of role I like to play, and does fine in zergs, don’t care what others say. I play my thief more often in zergs than roaming.

I have 9 lvl 80s, one of each profession, and an extra ranger. Thoughts on each

Elementalist- clearly valuable in WvW, but I dislike element swapping and cross element combos…too much for me.

Ranger- Love it for keep defense and large scale action, as well for solo camp action.

Mesmer- My command is on a mesmer, and you can do so much with that combo. Definitely the way to go with your tag.

Warrior- Seems to have good DPS, but not much else is offered. Would rather play my guardian.

Guardian- tough with lots of buffs, like the melee gameplay, brings a lot to the WvW table. Prefer this for roaming action in small groups.

Thief- can be really fun, but I am not very good at the timing and combos needed to do this profession justice. Clearly of solid value in WvW.

Engineer- am in a love/hate affair here. Love being grenades when taking down a keep. Hate it for open field or keep defense.

Necromancer- not quite my cup of tea. You do spread lots of conditions nicely, but, sometimes they get cleansed and you get no satisfaction. Bring a lot to the WvW table.

As said engi and all others will brun a grenade thrown death!

Ranger, hands down. Shortbow + Greatsword is super fun (I do small group fights and solo roaming). I love making my pets attack people while shoot’n at their faces. Traps are also amazing. xD

I played a Sword/Axe + Longbow Warrior and a Dagger/Dagger Elementalist as well. They were fun, but the Ranger is way more fun for me personally.
