Guild Wars 2

So, I have been playing Guardian for long time and been 80 a while now. love my guardian but I would like to play a new class thats comparable to Guardian. I am used to being melee ranged most of time. So anything tanky that can do a decent amount of damage and have some regen would be great.

Any suggestions?

When you switch to another profession after playing a guardian, expect to die a few times. None of the other professions are as tanky as a guardian is. The first thing I tried after getting my guard to 80 was engineer. By no means are the two classes similar, but engineer can be pretty kitten tanky if you gear it right. No matter what class you switch to, its going to take some getting used to. Most of the time its based personal preference. If you’re really digging melee then try out a warrior. Warrior also has some viable ranged options which is a nice change from guardian. When I got to 80 I personally wanted to make something completely different from guardian, just so I would get a taste of everything, but thats just my opinion.

Well I have been trying to level mesmer just used to melee combat just gets boring after a bit.

I’ll also have you know that you will have a lot of down time while playing a new character. Its definitely not fun to level it up, but once it gets higher it becomes a lot more fun. If you really like melee then try warrior. If you want to try something new then you might like thief.

None.

engineer and elementalist come to mind, but guardians are the tankiest class in the game and meant to be so.

Yeah, mesmer is quite a big change from guardian, I personally didn’t like it but MANY people swear by the mesmer.

Well Mesmer is okay but I can not figure out if its gonna be exactly class for me or not. D/D Ele seems fun and Tankish if specced and geared right. Warrior is okay but lacks the Regen capabilities unless use Signet. Unless I am missing something

A necro can survive pretty well if played correctly.

Warrior can have HUGE regen sources…
Healing signet – passive regen
Adrenal health – passive regen based on adrenaline
New trait – regeneration every time CC’ed (and less CC time)
Banner of tactics – healing power (and regeneration if traited)

add heavy armor to that and the huge health pool…
