Guild Wars 2

I think you should look up youtube videos of people playing each class. That will get you the best impression of how they play, and how up close and personal they get. Combat in GW2 is very active; every class has to move around. You will pretty much never be standing still casting spells (inb4 ele fire 5 on staff- yes at moments you will have to stand still, but they are very infrequent). I’m not familiar with WoW, so I can’t give a great opinion. I did try to watch some shaman videos, and based on those I think d/d ele or power necro would be close to it. Here is a video I found showcasing the power necro~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNtDaEp_YY

Thanks for taking the time to help aswell! I’ll deff see some videos as soon as I get home.

I see. Thanks for the responses, guys. I guess I’ll try the Guardian and the D/D Elementalist and see which one i like the best.

No worries. D/D Ele is a really fun playstyle, but it’s fairly fragile and you do play closer up 200-600 range, you’re just not smashing face. I love playing my Ele. I toss between Ele/Mes/Guard. I played shaman (and druid) as well, way back, so i think you’d like those 2.

Thanks! Nice to know you are/were a fellow Shaman. You do understand haha thanks again!

Hello everyone! I’ve been a WoW player for 7 years, playing mainly an Enhancement Shaman.

I REALLY like the melee spellcaster that the shaman is. So far, in GW 2, I havent been able to decide wich Profession to pick. So far, the one that resembles this spec a bit more is the Revenant, but its not yet released, and I wanted to start playing right away!

I’ve been lurking around the webs and seen some people talking about Elementalists or Guardians. Could you guys please elighten me and help me choose the class that comes close to the gameplay style? (melee spellcaster).

Thanks a lot!
