Which prof is a good change from Ranger?
My main was a guard and a necro, the guard is def easy mode. The guard is great at support with the boons, its nice in dungeons and pve, I am not too much a fan when it comes to pvp or wvw in this game so idk if the guard is good on that side of the board. The necro was fun for a bit too. If you’d like try both of them out, currently I am addicted to my ranger which I am still lvling its a nice change.

What are your opinions about the necro?
I played one only to level 15 or 16 with a friend but he didn’t have time to play so I removed it.
Guardian!!
Completely different play style and you actually feel useful …
Guardian ranged combat is terrible, so it is melee all the way.
You will cry going back to ranger, though .. Ranger greatsword is a wet noodle compared to the guardian greatsword ..

Thief, it’s fun to burst sometimes. For real play I end up back on my ranger though. Sustained damage IS useful in group play.
The bravest animal in the land is Captain Beaky and his band.

Yup, I know about the greatsword. Had a guardian too but only level 16… I turned off the melee assist and stood inside the mob each time I used the spin attack.
It’s just sad that there are so many guardians and warriors around…

No thank you to the thief. I have my opinions about it.
Sustained damage is useful, but buffing the whole group is much better. I always slot frost spirit when running dungeons and place it out of harms way. It usually survives everywhere except at the boss(es)
EDIT:
For now, it’s between the Necro or the Guardian…

Well i play a Mesmer (newest), Ele, and Engi apart from my ranger, really enjoying the mes, i like my Phantasms too much, they’re like pets, except they hit more often… and they don’t stand there and laugh at you as you lay there dying… oh yeah, and you don’t have to feed them.
That being said, ranger is still my favorite prof… now if only they had a staff…
They sing dark, delicious notes about power and family.

I’m mostly PvE oriented (though I do play PvP and 3W) and I have only read that Mesmer sucks in PvE… how true is that?

Well my lv 3 Mesmer carried a few groups of 80s through Molten Facility, but other than that I haven’t done too much PvE on em.

I made a warrior alt after my main ranger. I got the warrior to lvl 30, was boring as hell. Deleted him!
Then made a thief, atm lvl 30 . a lot of fun. but never feeled like contributing to group.
Then made a GUARDIAN! atm level 62. It’s awesome. I feel rly active in groups (dungeons/fractals/www). And a completely different playstyle than ranger.
But Ranger is still my top prof!
I’ve had fun with my guardian, but I prefer the hammer over the greatsword.
Ele is also fun. I usually run a tanky S/D build that puts 25 stacks of might on the party and tosses out other boons occasionally.
