Guild Wars 2

Yes you would be correct. I would want a class that visualizes, or embodies the personality of an INFJ-A. Thanks for your input

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide on a main class to play in game, but can’t seem to decide. So I was trying to think of which class would most closely fit my personality type, which is INFJ-A. You can look up the type and read more into it, but trying to figure it out myself has proven to be a little difficult, so I was wondering if I could get some help on this. Thank you, it’s much appreciated.

Hey everyone, I was wanting to switch from Blackgate to Tarnished Coast, but the server is full. Is there any way to switch like waiting until 3am or something to transfer? Or is there no way since the megaserver system?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering which of the 3 heavy armored professions would you most recommend if you wanted to play a support role within a group? They all seem to have a viable support build, but I would like to hear some thoughts on this. Thanks

Thanks nosleepdemon, that helps a lot. When it comes to end game content like raids, would the rev be as useful as the warrior? I’ve heard a lot saying that rev is essentially useless when it comes to the end game.

Hello everyone, I’ve been wanting to create a heavy armored character although haven’t been able to decide on which profession to pick. I’ve mostly played as a mesmer, so I’m fairly used to that play style. I’ve dabbled around with the classes in pvp, though it was hard to make a decision then. I enjoyed how quick the revenant and warrior were and it was nice to see how bursty the guardian can get. The guardian was a bit slow though in my opinion. I do enjoy the pve content and would also like to try out some wvw. I was wondering how good are these professions in each mode, maybe a pro and con list would also be helpful. I appreciate the help, thank you.

Not really interested in the class, the theme and builds, don’t quite appeal to me at the moment.

Hey everyone, I was considering on making a heavy armored character and a medium armored character, but can’t quite decide on what class to be. I’ve played mesmer for a while now. I was thinking between the warrior, guardian or revenant, and ranger or thief. How are these classes in pve and pvp? Thanks for the input everyone.

Hey everyone, I am trying to decide between a ranger/druid or thief/daredevil. I’m looking for a class that has a role in all gamemodes, hopefully more than one single build though. I’m also hoping it can be good solo as well as in group content. Something that is good in pve, pvp, and wvw. Also out of these two, which would be less braindead and need some strategy to how it’s played. I already play a mesmer and enjoy that, maybe that might help. I appreciate the help everyone. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I was messing around with a build for a condi rev after the patch, and he had some success with it, but I wanted to get some feedback on it. I’m thinking about switching staff for hammer, but staff 5 still has nice cc

I appreciate some feedback for it

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

I don’t think any of these really can be applied to the actual professions, although different archetypes will definitely prefer some professions over others, because they support different playstyles differently. J-people will prefer the clear, set rotations in some profs, while avoiding mesmers who constantly have to play it by ear.

For those unfamiliar with the jargon, Myers Briggs assumes that it’s useful to kitten human personality along four dimensions.

They definitely help a lot of people get better at their jobs (and dealing with friends & family in their personal life). That said, the system is a model that makes a huge number of assumptions, limits humans to just four dimensions, and is frequently misunderstood.

The most common misunderstanding is to assign some innate meaning and/or value to the dimensions; they are meant to be purely neutral. It’s also common for people to misconstrue the jargon — MB uses terms that have common meanings in English that don’t necessarily relate to how they are used in the assessment. For example, ‘extrovert’ gives the impression of ‘outgoing’, but ‘E’ people aren’t necessarily outgoing. (The worst offender is ‘Judging’, suggesting ‘judgmental’, which has nothing to do with the category.)

With those caveats, here are the four dimensions:

• E|N — Extraversion vs Introversion: How you primarily renew your energy, which is sometimes called “where you focus attention”. Introverts ‘recharge’ alone; extroverts (in this context) need to be with other people.
• S|N — Sensing vs Intuition: How you primarily absorb details about the world, through your senses or through instinct.
• T|F — Thinking or Feeling: How you usually make decisions, mostly via logic or mostly via, um, feelings.
• J|P — Judging or Perceiving: How you deal with the world, mostly preferring for things to be clear-cut or playing it by ear. (J-people like lists, P-folks hate ’em… usually).

---

Finally, by combing the four dimensions into one term, you get 16 archetypes, as listed above. Most MB tests offer a specific word to describe the category, such as "ESTJ = ‘executive’, but imo these lead to even more misunderstandings than the labels on the dimensions and I try to ignore them.

Thanks for your feedback and for clearing up the dimensions for people who may not understand them. I tried to place a personality to the class based on how the profession is typically played, for example the warrior is a ENFJ because it is usually meta in group content and everyone would want one, also it usually does better in groups than when played solo, making it extroverted, N and F come together I think because the warrior does depend on the situation making the typical warrior go by feeling/instinct. The J for the warrior because it has its rotation that is used to do great in those situations compared to the ranger where it needs to do only a few things to set itself up and then does what it wants.

I had some similar ideas actually.
Warrior: ENFJ
Guardian: ESFJ
Revenant: ISTJ
Ranger: INFP
Thief: INTJ
Engineer: ISTP
Necromancer: ENTJ
Elementalist: ENTP
Mesmer: INFJ
This is just some basic ideas on what I felt was pretty descriptive of the class.

Hello everyone, I was browsing the internet and found personality based rpg classes which were based on the MBTI. I was curious to see how this could relate to guild wars 2 with its 9 professions. I am hoping I could get some input on this, and see what you all think each profession’s personality is? It isn’t about the player’s personality but the class in general, and also, if it matches your personality then do you have the most fun with that class?
https://www.16personalities.com/personality-types (Here’s a link to the different personalities)
Thank you for your input

Also, I should probably mention that if you’re not sure, then consider taking a personality test online, usually from something like 16personalities and if you main a rev then share it.

I’m not sure why this was moved to the revenant specific forums, I meant for this question to just be a general discussion question and also just curious to find an answer.

Hey everyone, I’ve been browsing the internet and forums and came across this personality and main profession survey.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/MBTI-Personality-vs-GW2-Profession-Results
I found it to be fairly interesting, but since it was done long ago it doesn’t include the revenant profession. Out of the 16 MBTI personalities, which do you think would be the best fit for someone who typically would play a revenant?

Hey everyone, I’m considering making a light armor character and I narrowed my choice to choosing between a Mesmer and Elementalist. However, I’m not quite sure what to pick. I would like to play a support role, switching to dps if necessary. If it helps, I enjoyed playing the priest in WoW, specifically a discipline priest, which of the two would be close to that? I’m looking for something that is also good in PvE (raids, dungeons, etc.), WvW, and PvP, but pvp is a minor point. Also, I’m considering making this character a norn, so which may make more sense through a lore/rp perspective. Thank you!

I’ve encountered a bug during my personal story. Currently going through the first chapter of the norn storyline and everytime I start it up the ground disappears. The only thing I see around me are the rocks, trees, grass, and water under me. My friend joined me and he was experiencing it as well. The ground seemed to not load in properly.

I guess using the d&d descriptions of those classes would be what I’m looking for.

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking to play a battlemage or a monk type character in game, and i’m trying to decide between a guardian and a revenant. What would you recommend to keep with the theme of a battle mage and what class would keep the theme of a monk, if possible or at least closely resemble. Thanks for the help

Hey everyone, i was thinking about making an engineer but I’m not too sure if I’ll like it. I looked at the rotations and they seem daunting to me. Is it that bad or if you learn them, they get easier to do? How difficult is the class to learn and play and is it difficult to level?

I thank you for your help, I was thinking from looking at all the classes, since from the description of the star glider they’re fast, use fields, use metals, and apparently have sustain, how would an engineer be? I heard they are tough to learn since their rotations are very long, would they be worth trying?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I could get some help deciding on a class. I recently took a quiz to see if it could help me, fantasy rpg class test. I ended up as a star glider http://www.helloquizzy.com/quizzy/results?quizzyid=2759555769366114094&resultid=509080890 (copy and paste the link). It seemed like a interesting class and wanted to know if it could be similar to anything in guild wars 2. Thank you andI appreciate the help.

Hi everyone, I was wondering what class would fit my type of character. I recently took a quiz and got this result http://www.helloquizzy.com/quizzy/results?quizzyid=2759555769366114094&resultid=484658715 (copy and paste the link) and was wondering if anything in guild wars would be a good match for it. Thank you for your help

Hi everyone, I was thinking about making a new character and decided to make a light armor character, however I’m not exactly sure what class to play, necro, ele, or mesmer? What are the pros and cons of each class in pve, pvp, and wvw? If it helps, I enjoy playing thief and revenant, would one of the classe be similar to any of those?

I’m just wondering since Anet said they wanted to shake the meta with their next update, and since they are pushing for esports, would it be beneficial for every class to be in the meta? I think it would allow for more entertaining gameplay and maybe a little more build diversity. Would something like this be possible or is it something that may never be achieved?

Hi everyone, I was wondering which profession in guild wars would be closet to a witch hunter. I’m trying to decide between a ranger and a guardian with the dragonhunter specialization. I’ve played a little D&D and want to try and recreate my favorite class in guild wars 2. Thanks for the replies

I was thinking about getting guild wars 1 and all its campaigns to play through. Along with that, the rewards would be nice to have. I’m wondering is if it is worth it to buy it, my main reason would be to get the rewards for guild wars 2. At this point, does guild wars 1 hold up and is it still worth playing?

With heart of thorns coming around the corner, and raids being the new hard content. Since, all the specializations were revealed, what do you think each profession’s role will be?

Hey everyone, just decided to make a post to see what is everyone’s favorite outfit to wear from the gemstore. It doesn’t have to be an outfit specifically, it can be an armor skin or maybe you just mismatched armor pieces to make your own special outfit. Share your outfits. My favorite right now is the mad scientist outfit, although I wish I could equip a hood with it to make it cooler in my opinion.

Hey everyone, I’ve been trying out some new classes and tried playing the mesmer, but I just can’t seem to get a hang of it. I don’t seem to do a lot of damage like I usually see mesmers doing, and I have a hard time getting clones out. I want to like the class because the concept is awesome, but I can’t seem to play it correctly. Any tips or advice on how to play it?

Hi everyone, I was hoping I could get help on trying to pick between the elementalist and the necromancer. I like to play all three gamemodes (pvp, pve, wvw) so I was wondering if the class is good in all three. Also how do they play, like can you describe the playstyle that is usually associated with the class. With the specializations, if you played them, which one is better, tempest or reaper? Thanks for the replies.

Hey everyone, with the recent updates, I was wondering how are the current professions performing in pvp. Rank them from 1 to 8, or 9 if you want to include the revenant.

Hi everyone, now I know this may seem like a stupid topic, but I’m wondering if there is a reason why the expansion isn’t going to have a physical copy. For someone like me, it is rather difficult to buy things online, so I prefer a physical copy or at least some code I can buy in store and redeem it, like gem cards. Will there be a physical copy available? Also, I was wondering, since we can get the digital deluxe upgrade from the gemstore, would this work for the expansion as well? like paying for it through gems?

Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to decide on another class to play. I took a small quiz that would tell me a class based on my playstyle, http://www.helloquizzy.com/quizzy/results?quizzyid=2759555769366114094&resultid=399382546 (just copy and paste the link) based on what the result said I’m thinking between ranger and thief. What do you think based on that result? thanks for the replies

Hey everyone, I was wondering what class I should play next and level up. I couldn’t really decide so I took a quick quiz online and got this result http://www.helloquizzy.com/quizzy/results?quizzyid=2759555769366114094&resultid=399382546 (copy and paste the link to see it) Based on this, I was thinking between a ranger and a thief. What do you think? I’m looking for something that is good overall for pve, pvp, and wvw.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if the thief is good/viable for things like PvE (dungeons and fractals), PvP, and WvW. I heard that thieves are only good for their Dagger/Pistol build. Is this true or can they use other build effectively too? Also I was wondering how effective the shortbow is as a ranged weapon.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if the ranger is still a good/viable choice to play as. When it comes to PvE (dungeons and fractals), PvP, and WvW, is it good? Is there a good build variety or is there only a few select builds that are good?

by stigma, I was referring to an overall sense of the necromancer across different games.

Hi everyone, I was thinking about making a necromancer, and making him a norn. I was wondering that even with the stigma that necromancers are evil, is it possible to play as a good-aligned necromancer? I only know of one and that’s Havroun Weibe. Is there any others, and how would one go about playing a good necromancer?

Hey everyone, I’ve been doing some pvp with a ranger and thief. However, I can’t seem decide on which one to main for pvp, along with pve and wvw. How good/viable are the ranger and the thief?

Hi everyone, I was trying to decide between a ranger and a thief, but can’t quite make up my mind. What are some pros and cons between them for things like pve, pvp and wvw?

I was thinking about making a norn thief, however I’m not sure if they fit within the lore. I know the connection with the snow leopard spirit might make some consider it, but is there anything else that could support it? Also, is there any norn thieves in the world that you can talk to or maybe they can explain why they became a thief?

Hey everyone, I was thinking about starting a new character but I can’t decide between a elementalist or mesmer. Usually in rpgs, I like playing a thief/mage hybrid, so I thought these two would be pretty good. What are some pros and cons of each class, and which one is better overall is pve and pvp? Thanks for the answers

I think they’re in a good place, even without using a meta build I still have fun. I use a staff build for pvp and it’s really fun, squishy but fun. I found them to be a little more accessible, although it might be a placebo for me, but they are still challenging to play. I don’t see anything wrong with them at the moment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bd-9UY6eOI <- that’s the build I use, if anyone was interested.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some feedback for some names I’ve been trying to pick for my character. I plan on making a human, but I’m stuck on naming him. I’ve narrowed it down to Lytroius and Lytrocius. Which one is better in your opinion? I appreciate the feedback

Hey everyone, I was wondering which class is better when it comes to PvE, PvP, and WvW. I tried both, and they both seem powerful, but I’m not sure. What are the pros and cons of each class?

Hi everyone, I’m wanting to pick a class for my next character and I’m not sure which to pick out of the three. I am a big fan of magic and archery, so these seemed to be really nice. What are the pros and cons of the classes and how well do they play in pve, pvp and wvw?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to pick between a ranger and elementalist for my next character. I’m a fan of archery and found the ranger to be good, however the ice bow for the elementalist seems really interesting. Is it good to build around it? Also I would like a little magic to be involved in the class, like spells and summoning. Which would be better for pve, pvp, and wvw? Thanks for the answers everyone
