Guild Wars 2

Ranger here,

The trick is to do a quick pet swap, I believe that is the way it was designed, I use a bear for good damage mitigation and a spider if I need to use something ranged to avoid damage around the thing I’m killing.

Well here is my 2 cents. I first started out Guild Wars 2 with an engineer. I liked the way they looked in the videos of the class and who hates some steam punk style armor. My biggest issue with engineer once I started leveling was the fact that there is a major dependence in your automated guns you set up which isn’t that big of a deal except they seem to pull a large amount of agro and don’t have the greatest defenses so they don’t last long against an enemy attack. Plus you have to learn to kite well because you have nothing as far as a melee weapon is concerned at your disposal. I do have a lvl 49 ranger that I love, they mix a strong ranged weapon damage with the ability to wield a melee weapon or two. I’m sure others will have other opinions on the topic but that is my input. Ranger is the better way to go in my opinion. It’s a lot funner when you are alive to celebrate the victory.
