Guild Wars 2

I plan on leveling via chain events once I reach level 15 so I would like to know the best way to tag mobs. From what I’ve seen the short bow is not that good since it focuses on single target so my best bet would be go long bow? I heard there was a trait that allows you to pierce mobs, is that true? Should I use range pets or melee pets?

Please help me out I’m completely new to this class

My thief is now level 60 and I’m getting frustrated because of how slow and squishy it is. Maybe I’m doing something, so I don’t know….

Anyway, I want to start a ranger just for PvE so I want to know their current state. Judging from all the bugs and QQs in the forums I’m guessing we don’t do decent damage? Do rangers have a harder time getting into pugs compared to other classes? Do rangers contribute anything to dungeon groups? I’ve read somewhere that other classes contribute more and do it better in dungeons, is that true?

Please help me out, I’m torn between a guardian and a ranger.

I am currently level 38 and I have no clue where to go at this point. I just completed the level 30-40 zone (ruins of something, I forgot the name). Should I go back to low level zones? Should I do my personal quests even though the level is a bit higher?
