Guild Wars 2

I think a lot of it will come down to personal preference. I am currently enjoying my run with a mace and shield, since I prefer sitting and not dying whilst I smack away at mobs. When I’m tired I switch to great sword for speed, but usually my second weapon is a staff for the perks mentioned above; speed, power and the ability to throw out a quick heal.

That being said, I really enjoy playing a support guardian, participating in lots of events. If you’re more interested in solo, fast levelling, the great sword will always rock. Although scepter + focus is really nice at long range, I personally roll with scepter + torch, getting great use of two damaging abilities. That said, it’s all personal preference :P

If I’m honest, I’m a pretty old player (Since the BWE’s), but I never really got round to rolling an engineer. My main, a thief, was notably ridiculous when it came to PvP, so much so that I got no enjoyment out of it, even in PvE environments.

I recently rolled an engineer to level to my next 80, and I am having a blast. There may be complaints at endgame, and weakness in PvP does feel like a LITTLE bit of an issue (I actually really enjoy the support role I’m performing in) I would urge new players to definitely invest some time in the engineer, if only to see if you enjoy it or not.

Heck, something must have gotten most of you to 80
