Hello guys! ,

Lately I’ve been trying to decide which class to play (I’m a new player) , and after some time, I ended up being torn between Ele and Thief, it’s as follows

I like to play WvW , mostly small scale or solo roaming, usually tend to play classes with high burst and mobility, and don’t mind being squishy, I’ve seen several videos of players playing both those classes in the situations I intend to play, most prominently Yishis and Mugi for Thief and Intigo for Ele (D/D) , and both have caught my eye, the rest of the classes not so much.

Now the problem is to decide which of those to play :P , as usual the forums of almost all classes tend to be full of negative comments about them (except warrior in this case) , and honestly I don’t want to roll a warrior or guardian. So I’m here asking for help, mostly comparisons between said classes in WvW settings, weapon sets, and the like. If possible also which is easier to learn, given that I’m completely new at the game. And which has potential to become something to fear when and if I end up mastering it.

I wouldn’t mind some opinions on playing both or either of those in fractals and other dungeons, as I quite like the armor looks of some of them, so I guess I’ll have to farm :P

Thank you in advance, and I hope you are all having an amazing day.

Aer

yaay a yishis fan i think about every class can solo roam, d/d ele does have high burst, and thief has high damage as well, if you’re into stealth classes you could play thief/mesmer, but thief is getting nerfed dec 10. i’m actually making a mesmer atm since i want to try something besides thief

The D/D thief build that you like is actually getting a buff come december 10th! Maybe that will persuade you

33% increase initiative regen is huge in my opinion. plus if you run practiced tolerance you get an additional 2% increase to your vitality. Win win for the D/D thief.

Loss for every other type of thief, and for build diversity.
