Guild Wars 2

Basically this is not seriously a question for me only.
(sorry for my terrible english in advance)

Its more like an survey, to see, what would the most engineer “minded” players roll, if not engineer.

The whole thing came up basically, because i was wondering "hey what the hell, i know i will regret rolling it, but i will roll engineer anyway (going to be my second lv 80). I will have fun till i get to 80, till i gear it , and have some fun in pvp, then propably regret it because of lack of personal costumization and lack of weapon skins, since its using kits (wont see thme anyway) and there are barely any decent weapons for him.
BUT i am going to have fun for that 2-3 months, or maybe a bit more…or less, but dont care i will roll an alt after that….just dunno what…

What would YOU roll?

Roll a Guardian. See how much better in almost every aspect of the game they are compared to us.

or

Roll an Elementalist. See how much more versitility they offer at none of the “versitility tax” we pay.

I roll with everything. But if my alt levels and time played are anything to go by, I enjoy my warrior most (after my engineer of course), followed by my mesmer, then ranger, necromancer, thief, elementalist, and finally guardian.

Engineer versatility and Ele versatility are different.
Ele can do everything while specializing to have some aspects of that “everything” stick out more.
Engi can be built to do whatever you like perfectly at the cost of being unable to do other things.
Basically, an Engi can outperform an ele in everything, if he specializes in it, but he loses his ability to do other things.
If you want to put it simply, Ele is the Jack of all Trades, while Engi is the master of specialisation.

Ha ha. Funny someone mentioning Guardian and Elementalist. Guardian was my 2nd, Elementalist my 3rd char/class.

Wanted to have some real melee class since engineer did not have a real melee weapon(also I think shield is looking sexier with a guardian). Did not know Warrior would be stronger PvE and back then Guardian with all the support abilities seemed interesting.

Ele 3rd cause recommended back then and it seemed best for DPS. Also the Air +25% speed trait.

Ranger my 4th char… tanky and movable pet instead of stationary turrets.

Thief… cause of stealth… 5th char.

So far I prefer Guardian, Ranger…(real melee, real ranged and easy to play) don’t like Ele and Thief… too squishy and hard to play if you want to be pro.

With my newest char slots I’m trying Mesmer(don’t like it… only will use it for portals maybe and support stuff in WvW… never in sPvP or PvE). Warrior: Seems good. Also nice to have lots of weapons to chose from.

Necro will be started soon… I heard 5k AP chest will give a big gold reward and 400 gems… like free char slot for me. The 8th one I still need.

Engi is my 4th 80, even though it was my first created class on launch :/

*Guard has been my main, ease of PvE and toe to toe melee is its strength.
*Thief was my first 80, very fun class with lots of builds. This is my go to map runner and fun toon. I run this guy when I feel I’m getting too lazy with my guard.
*Mesmer, Love it and hate it.. Great in PvP but I feel damage is really inconsistent in PvE.

Currently I’m having the most fun on my Engi though.

Blood~

Rocking a Mesmer alt right now(not into PvP), and its different but has a similar kiting playstyle to my Engi.

I spent all my time playing Guardian bunker in tournaments… My worst enemy was the Necro followed by the burn stacking Engi in prolonged 1v1. I didn’t really connect with how static the Necro felt (it’s more about making zero mistakes and being patient with key skills… i.e. not doing much rest of the time) and I loved knockbacks and blowouts; so my second profession was the Engi, and I played exclusively 4-kit bunker…

I’ll go back to the Guardian at some point though. They both have good sustain and a vast array of control which i like.
