Low Level Characters/Boost Questions

I also suggest just boosting the one. It gives you a trial period to test out the class before fully committing to it, anyway, in case you’re not sure. I, on the other hand, just went fully with my first mesmer because she was a pain to level. For me, it certainly did not lesson my enjoyment, for I now had a character to try everything out on. You don’t get the level-up rewards for boosting, but you certainly get that freedom and the freedom was what I desired. It’s not like you can’t take that boosted character and go mess around in Tyria with. I did a lot of mapping on her, as well as messing around in HoT’s maps.

Ok, thanks for the info
Which Character should I use 1 boost on? My best/favorite are my low level Necro and Hunter. Thoughts and help appreciated

That’s up to you. You are the one playing it. Just telling you what I did from a neutral stance. I can see both sides. I boosted during my second week playing, so it was overwhelming. I got my gliding, than focused solely on just exploring and mapping, a mixture of Tyria and Verdant Brink, until I got the hang of it. But than, I also had a friend to help me who’s been playing for years. Regardless of what some would say, I do not regret it. We all play and enjoy things differently. I enjoyed my freedom. Now I enjoy naturally leveling characters up myself.

The second one I boosted was a necromancer. I’ve leveled a ranger naturally. I enjoy both. But most chances out of ten, I’ll be taking the necromancer with me when I explore around a 80 map if it’s a choice between the two. You could do ranger and have access to all those pets~

Wouldn’t count my Chronomancer as too flashy.
My Ranger is definitely my least flashy of the bunch, but Arinea’s never been one for “impractical outfit clutter” as she’d probably call it. I even got her a quiver to make her look more Ranger natural. Just to toss a better shot of her in here since I had to leave for work.

So make one. You have an ignore button.

I’ve played just about every day for nearly the entire time I’m free from work for a few months on 95% female characters…And the most I’ve gotten is just people trying to talk to me. Which has only been twice. My two main girls, even, are showing a fair bit of skin. My necromancer has a Winged skirt and Carapace top. Still no one bothers me. I am one in a crowd of many and I assume everyone else likewise has their camera out too far and are too engaged in battle to notice me.
5 of my 17 are male. I’ve always preferred female customization, so the farthest I’ve gotten is 40s with the Sylvari guy. My friends and I, all four of us, are women. We use both. We are also all writers and roleplayers. Our characters have life and personalities of their own. I’ve also grown up playing games. I’m used to using men. Using my Sylvari guy is no different than me putting in Shadow of Mordor or Persona 5.
