Thank you, but I’m not that of a dedicated player. I am not doing high level fractals, and 1 month of dedication to crafting the exotic is more than enough for me.

I have just put this build together, I’m interested in your takes on the stat distribution.
It is mainly a “budget” build, without full Ascdended equipments.

Managed to get my weapon skins today, and made the CoF armor look more unique with my secret dye.

What kind of armor for WvW?

Well, I enjoy not getting one hitted from everything, so I’d set full zerker aside.

If you say my condition management is fine, then fine, Knight it is.

I don’t really have much gold right now, so I’m stuck on this part. I want to get the best out of the possibilities, so here it is:

The only parts I want to change are the helm/shoulder/leggings.
I have two versions:

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAoaVlUmiO3eS5E+5Ex+hdy9wpGtp9MwqVB-jgzAYLioRiCAZBiIAm8kWTgChtBhw+g0qeBTVuoalLgdHwbsoa3BGA-e

50% crit chance, 2442 armor 14k health. (without foods)

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAoaVlUmiO3eS5E+5Ex+hdy9wpGtp9MwqVB-jgzAYLioRiCAZBiIAm8kWTfCh9Bp1GhQoeBTVuoalLgdHwbsoa3BGA-e

46% crit chance, 2338 armor, 15k health. (without foods)

I’m pretty much settled on the first version, but the question is, does 1k health worth 4% crit chance + ~100 armor?
14k health on the other hand seems a littlebit too low, conditions may eat me immediately.

Sidenote for especially wish, yes, I know it’s not 100% optimized, but this is what I have and can afford now.

Shadow's Rejuvenation - important?

I have been putting together my WvW build. Originally it was 0/15/30/25/0, with Shadow’s Rejuvenation.

Now, 0/20/25/25/0, with Practiced Tolerance would get me +1k Health, +2% crit chance, and +5% crit damage. Also -50 toughness, but the effective Health is still +2k.

Is it worth to give up SJ for these stats?

That is true, but the armor doesn’t reduce condition damage, and that’s a really important thing too.

DD / Shortbow Stat Spread

- 3k Attack / 51% Crit Chance / 88% Crit Damage (with foods, but not the most expensive ones)
- 2.3k Armor / 16k Health

Only amulet is Ascended.

You can use any weapon combination you want. Utilities are set for dungeon/fractal, change them for Power+Precision+Movement signets for general PvE.

1234 – shatters – should work out something for this
V – class specific skill – V and 1 both for Mind Wrack (I play Thief too, and V is just more comforatble)

Y+Z – highlight enemy + allied names – macrod for the other side button on Deathadder

Mesmer or Thief?

in Players Helping Players

Hello guys,

My first character was a Thief, currently lvl62. I got bored, so I tried Mesmer, got it to 46 also.
Now the problem is, I want to pick a main, because I hate splitting my attention.

What I like about Mesmer is the ranged possibilities, the awesome unpairable utility skills. All in all, everything is great, but….movement speed!
I’m so slow, I’m always the last one in the WvW zerg.

Then I went back to the Thief, and it’s just a huge jump. With it, I’m always in the frontline. For PvE, I feel it’s more versatile than the Mesmer. However it lacks long ranged damage, and I’m not sure about my usefulness in dungeons.

I want to play WvW of course, and be fast, so I can get from A to B in no time. But I’m afraid Thief will be denied from dungeons and fractals. Also it’s not as big asset to the team as a Mesmer.

Which one do you suggest?

Or you can buy another character slot. Comes with a free 20-slot bag, + 4*15 slot.

Character slot – 800 gem – 14.4g
4*15 slot bag – 2.3g

Summary:
You can gain 80 slots for ~ 16.7g using the gemstore for character slot.

Profession for taking the long journey?

Hey!

So after 5 months, I still wasn’t able to get to the end of the game. Moreover, on my highest level character(60), I have just started the Order storyline.

I am a type of person who likes to stick to a main character, and bimp it out all the way. However, I have still no idea which class would fit in my hands, wouldn’t bore me.

So far, here is what I’ve got:
Thief – 61
Mesmer – 47
Necromancer – 31
Ranger – 25

The last one was the Mesmer, and it’s a blast in WvW (lacking perma-swiftness tho), but PvE is pretty boring with the very limited weapon sets available. Thief is OK, but boring as well, nothing interesting in gameplay. Necromancer is same as Mesmer, but I don’t like it in WvW either, so it’s crossed. Ranger is just annoying, it’s nothing more than pew-pew-pew, dead enemy, rinse and repeat.

So I really have to choose now, finally, and I want to make this decision right, because starting areas are getting annoying as hell.

I was really thinking on making a Warrior, because the many weapon types it can carry is “Truly, truly outrageous”! But I may be wrong, and it could be boring as well. I fear the class is just plain simple, after a Mesmer.
The other one was the Elementalist. Seems interesting with the attunement swapping, and mastering it is sure a whole new level of gameplay. Now, the thing is, only staff, dagger, scepter, focus are available, that’s not so much. I would like to hear how attunements compensate for this.

Guardian and Engineer are left. Engineers are just NO, Guardian may be okay tho.

Could you give me some points for the professions you would suggest me?
Few extra questions:
- How is Warrior roaming in WvW?
- How is Elementalist solo in PvE?
- Is glass cannon D/D Ele viable (PvE/WvW)?

Thanks in advance!

Thief, Mesmer, or Elementalist?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

That 100% crit thing is a good idea, gotta admit that.

The thing with WvW is I love it. It’s more tactical than sPvP, bigger. With my lvl45 Mesmer I can take 2v1 already, and win it. I know at lvl80 I get better gear and etc…

Still thinking about Elementalist tho, that attunement faceroll is epic, and I like how it’s a littlebit more complicated than anything else.
But on the other hand, if I switch for Elementalist, my “to lvl80” progress will be delayed again. I’m a person who likes to play a main for thousands of hours, but so far, I could not find the class that could give me that many hours free from boredom.

Thief, Mesmer, or Elementalist?

Currently I have a Thief at 60 for WvW, built full glass cannon.
A Mesmer at 45, same setup. I went for max DPS/Burst.

I love the Thief for it’s mobility inside and outside of combat, but once I’m focused just a littlebit, I go down in 2 hits. With Mesmer, I can take quite a few hits, clones are great, but outside of combat, it’s slow as hell and I’m always the last at zergs.

However, I had an idea to start an Elementalist too. I like how it’s complicated. Great mobility in and out of combat, but not sure of the damage.

I would like to hear your opinions about these 3 classes, any advice?
