Guild Wars 2

I play with my gf, and she is very close to her first ever morph cap level character (75 ranger At the moment). She has already decided she wants to play ele next. As we did ranger/Mesmer first, there wasn’t a lot of interesting combo field play. I’d like to have more options to work together on combo fields this time so I’m wondering: if you could pick another class to level with full time, what would you pick?

I’m thinking engineer or guardian would be best as they both have access to many fields and finishers.

Both would probably work well, but I’d lean more towards the engineer. That is because I know it has access to a lot of blast finishers with the toolbelt skills (every turret once deployed). The guardian does have a lot of fields, but I can’t remember if they have any finishers, especially blast finishers, to make good use of them. And personally, I’d say the Ele’s fire and water fields are more useful than the guardian’s light, so the guardian fields could end up getting in the way at times.
Also, from what I’ve seen the Ele and the Eng do play rather similar in some ways. Both lack a weapon swap and make it for it by attunements (ele) or kits/tool belt (eng). So I could see those two being a great pair.

hammer guards have a spammable blast finisher and light fields actually. if you go guard you can also support each other for days
