Guild Wars 2

Ya I’m more interested in the pve role of the ele. Tourney pvp isn’t my cup of tea. I’ll be rolling one when im off work.

Understood. I’ll give it a shot, I think. I usually love Mage classes, so it would seem else is a good fit for me.

Hey all,

After messing around with a few different classes, I think I want to try and main an ele. I’m worried about all the doomsayers on the forums who say ele is a joke in pve / dps / support.

I really like being the support /dps player who helps grips out etc. it also doesn’t hurt to be able to solo well in pve but form what I’ve read most classes seem ok at solo pve.

Any opinions of the good side of eles are welcome.

Thanks

Ah nice. Ranger sound like decent support! I may give it a shot.

Ah nice, how are you finding it in dungeons? I know solo pve every class is “capable”, im more interested in the dungeon aspect of the game.

Anyone have an opinion?

Any ranger’s have input on how the dungeon experience has been?

Also, Im looking for a class that isn’t considered “useless” in dungeons. There’s a general consensus that every class can bring something to the table, but just how effective they are is my question.

Say i can support decently / DPS with a ranger, then that’s probably the class that Ill roll, because the thief, despite being amazing DPS, seems fairly lackluster in solo PvE at lower levels, and fairly squishy.

Thanks again.

PPson.7042:

honestly it depends most on how you build the character. Thief for example can be supportive by running group invis skills (there are several), elementalist can be as close to a healer as you can get in this game while in water spec, ranger can get group buffs depending on the weapon set. Each class can go supportive just depends on how you build them. Sorry this isn’t the best answer but there are no set supportive classes in GW2, every class is itself basically

Understood, that’s what ive been hearing. The issue is, there’s always going to be a class that’s better for my specific situation. I was just looking for some insight on that. Im more of a PvE player, than a PvP player, so im looking for something that works well with a warrior partner, but can solo PvE decently.

Thanks.

Hey all,

New gw2 player here. I’m looking for the “better” pve support classes. I really like the ranger / thief, but could be swayed into a caster if they are better. I’m primarily playing with a warrior, so I’d like something that compliments that.

Not really into the heavy armor classes, so guardian is out.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
