Guild Wars 2

I love playing my Engineer, but I want to start a new character. I’m hoping to get advice from other people who love the engineer and it’s playstyle to find what they find best suited to them.

I’m leaning towards a guardian or a mesmer (I don’t have any characters other than engineer, all I know is I now want a charr character.) but I’m not sure yet.

Thief.

I made a Guardian alt first, and it was too boring. Getting to 80 was insufferable.

After playing enginner.. All classes were so boring so now I have 1 guardian (I now I can say it was mistake if not lvl 80 and exo gear I will delete him asap) and 4 engineers:-) I made them only for farm/legendary gifts. Main is main:-)

Guardian was beyond boring to level. Created and deleted 3 so far that never made it past the 30’s. My go to alt, which now shares “main” status with my Engineer, is my Warrior. I did the same thing with Mesmer as my Guardian attempts. The mesmer definitely wasn’t boring, but I hate that the illusions are tied to an opponent.

Mostly I play this engineer Wiggely Wombat in WvW and some instances.
When grenades got boring a bit, I went back to Flamethrower – Elixir Gun. Together with the improved Rocket Boots I’m having a blast in WvW.

This meant I lost my easy mode zerg max ranged option…

Meantime I was leveling a ranger, Wobbely Wabbit, who was originally supposed to be more melee range than my engineer with grenades.
Now the engineer is more up close, and since yesterday the ranger is a longbow addict.
Short time to become an addict, but weirder things have happened.

In short: I have a flamethrowing engineer again (like I did the first months) and I have a sniper ranger.

Oh, and I have a lowby necro Meany Mouse (you can guess that Asuran look…) who might become a melee character, but I’ll wait till the storm blows over. Worst time to start a necro

Kimbald, I love how enthusiastic about your characters. xD

I’m loving the Mesmer as an alt character, mainly for nostalgia as that was my main in original GW.

Oh man! I really dig your characters names!

For me … it ‘s like … I don’t know my favourite alt and main is Engineer. Sometimes I take my Guardian for a stroll (only shines in high levels), sometimes my Warrior, never my Ele (AoE ’s feels lackluster compared to Engi), sometimes my Mesmer, sometimes my Necro-Pet.

Maybe you should choose a Mesmer to begin with and then just continue to make Pets until you ’re satisfied.

I have been playing a thief a ton lately. Actually thinking of making it my main. Only problem is there is not a lot of builds I really like where my enigi has several play styles I love.
