Guild Wars 2

Thanks everyone for the input. Since a thief seems the most squishy out of the major suggestions I think it is out. Based on that I think it falls between the Mesmer and Ranger. How are these classes in relation to one another? I know the Mesmers are pretty popular right now but what is their play style like? Is it difficult to learn/master? Which has better utility, survivability? If anyone would b willing to give me a little compare/contrast or pro/con that would be great!

Based on what you said,
Ranger…..not great at a lot of things although with beastmaster it makes taking camps simple as the pet can tank for you.

QFT, I was going to suggest the same thing.

Rangers are great for roaming groups or solo. Lots of good builds available.

Thieves are great too, but barrier of entry is higher.

What do you mean barrier of entry is higher?

Elochai.1280:

What kind of fighting style are you into? Do you like melee or ranged? Are there roles you don’t like to play? Do you want to be able to hold your own in a 1v1 situation? Do you like easy classes or more complex classes? Do you like fotm classes or being more unique? Many classes can be a jack of all trades or close to it, but do it very differenly.

Well I would like to be able to hold it down in a 1v1 as I have encounter that situation a lot when trying to re cap camps and roaming without the zerg. I really don’t have a preference when it comes to melee or ranged to be honest. Additional I would say I like the mid lvl classes in terms of complexity, I don’t feel I play enough to truly master a complex class. As far as “fotm” its not a priority as long as it fits my play style I’ll be happy.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for taking a minute to check out my post! So I have recently started doing some WvW and am really enjoying myself but am wondering what class some of the veterans would recommend to me based on what I like to do. I am looking for a class that is viable solo/roaming, I like going back and capping camps that enemies have taken in a small group or by myself, I don’t mind running with the zerg but its not my number one choice, I don’t mind playing defense either. I guess I kinda I like doing a little but of everything so which class is the most “jack of all trades”? Thanks for you help.
