Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to play this game for almost 3 weeks now, but I’ve had an incredible amount of trouble trying to choose a prof (I’ve played them all to lvl 15+, and some pvp) in that time, not because I like them all, but rather because none of them jump out at me as something I could play for hours on end.

The ultra-customizable skill system from the original guild wars drew me back to that game time and time again. That said, I actually really enjoy the main 5 skills being tied to your weapon. It allows you to better kitten how people are going to play against you in pvp, makes the weapon you have equipped feel more than just a stat stick, and feels awesome when you quick switch to another set for a few key skills in the nick of time. Most of the weapon skills feel pretty darn good (notable exceptions including almost every necro weapon, and engi rifle).

Utility skills on the other hand generally do not feel very good. Probably about half or more of the utilities are glyphs, banners, shouts, moving your pet around, conjures (gimmicks) etc. While the existing ones obviously influence and enhance your gameplay, I can’t help but feel the 5 skills we get to choose need to be big, visceral, neat abilities! No matter what profession I pick up, I have no interest in at least half of the utilities, not because they’re ineffectual but because they feel like bland filler.

Elite skills suffer from a different set of problems. The majority of them do not synergize with or enhance your “goal” in what you do. 4 professions have 2 out of 3 elite skills that change your skill bar entirely. Elite skills that add utility in this way are definately cool, but this is way, way overdone. Most of the time it feels as though you’ve built your character for some specific purpose plotting out your stats/gear/skill combos, and then your biggest baddest move has very little to do with it. It almost feels like getting inside of a vehicle in WoW. PS: Why no elite skill capping/more elite skills? Exploring the world and pushing progression to snag that next elite skill to play around with was super ultra mega fun.

So there you have it, my experience thus far.

tl;dr: utilities and elites feel terrible

Was just wondering what people know/suspect the least played class to be.
I’m trying to choose my class, and I always enjoy playing the underdog.

engineer it is

thanks duggies

I’ve leveled every class to lvl 20+ and I still can’t decide (I even had to buy more character slots >.>)

As the title says, first post arbitrarily decides which one I go with.

Also, what feels like the least played class right now>?
