Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the insights.

I’ll buy HoT as soon as possible and go from there. In the mean time I’ll give guardian a shot.

You’re right, I should’ve added my playstyle.

I prefer a support kind of playstyle in dungeons and raids. While in spvp I usually try to roam solo and cap points / defend them.

Guardian seems appealing. I’ve never really tried them.

I haven’t bought HoT yet but I plan on doing so in the near future.

Hi all,

First of all I apologize for even making this thread. I’m aware of the fact that a billion people have asked the same question but I’m kind of lost here.

Allow me to introduce myself. I’ve been playing Guildwars 2 since beta but quit about a year ago. I just came back recently and I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. Before my break I managed to level up a necromancer, an elementalist, a thief and a mesmer. I never really liked playing alts and that’s where my problem starts. I really want to commit to one charachter and actually accomplish some milestones: world completion, maxing out a crafting discipline to name a few.

Elementalist: I enjoy playing the elementalist but I never really feel comfortable. I have no clue what I’m actually doing and it just looks like I’m bashing a billion buttons. Probably not the way you should play an elementalist. I really like the mobility that this class brings. Perhaps I just need to learn to play.

Mesmer: I loved the concept back in guildwars 1 and it was a bit of a shame that the concept of the mesmer changed a lot in GW2. Nonetheless I feel a lot more comfortable playing this profession and unlike elementalist I have a vague idea of what I’m doing. I’m certainly no pro, that’s for sure. The main issue I have with mesmer is that it feels so slow compared to elementalist. When I’m running through the maps I feel like a snail, am I doing something wrong here?

These are the two professions I’m mainly interested in but perhaps there’s a completely different profession that fits my bill. I haven’t tried anything other than the four I’ve mentioned.

What do I enjoy:
- The occasional spvp match
- Dungeons ( but I’ve heard no one runs them anymore)
- Probably raids
- A profession that doesn’t need insanely difficult combo’s to work. ( my main issue with elementalist)

At the moment I feel like I should just stick with my mesmer and not worry about the mobility but perhaps there’s a whole different profession that would fit my needs a whole lot better…

Thanks in advance
