i’m a warrior i got a shout build for my utalitys
but i recomand you to have all different types of weapons
i mostly go zerk so i normally run GS and double AXE in pve and dungeons
i always have a bow for if i need ranged
in WVW i go full soldier because if you are in a large group the damage comes in numbers and only if you stay alive you are us full i use hammer sword and war horn in it
in pvp i use hammer mace and shield
so every area you are going to need something differentfor the server i would pick the server of your friend others you wont be able to play WVW together and you will always need to guest to be able to play pvp and pve together
i also have a mesmer when you know how to play and you do i good everyone will love you GS sword and focus are good for pve and wvw
in pvp i use sword torch gs and utalitys mostly change while you are playing sometime you need this sometime this so it changes a lot sometime
I just saw another video and Guardian again looks more fun ^^ My mind changes up all the god kitten time! Anyways – I guess I will need a few builds for it too.. Can you have a few traits too? Or the traits are perm?
And by a world I meant what world shall I pick? Any good ones by name? Or is it just a luck on the field?
PvP: 5v5 or 8v8. The gameplay is mostly conquest. You get points for capturing and holding the points, along with few points for killing and side objects. The first team to 500 wins the round. Your character is automatically leveled to 80, you have all your skills, and everybody has access to the same sigils/stats/runes etc. (Aka, it’s all about player skill, build, and team coordination)
WvW: Server vs Server vs Server. 3 servers go up against each other for a week over 4 different, very large, full sized maps. It’s kinda like conquest, but on a much larger scale. You capture and defend camps, towers, keeps along with building siege equipment like rams, trebuchets, even walking golems.
As for the class, mesmer and thief are pretty similar. They are both about confusing your enemey, avoiding attacks, stealthing to lose aggro, etc.
Guardians are the complete opposite. I think both would work well together.
In a small fight the guardian would hold focus and protect the thief, while the thief tried to get some sneaky attacks in.
Or you could team up as a mesmer and you guys would just use invis + clones to really confuse your opponents.
Edit: The only real point of a server is WvW. You can PvE and PvP with anybody you want on the EU side through guesting. However, you can only represent your home server in WvW.
So I guess I will start with guardian. Are there kinds of guardians? If so, which should I be if I love support? Could you please explain each one?
Also – which server would you recommend me to join? Very High population is not recommended right? PLUS any specific guides you would recommend me to read/watch before playing?
Guardians imo are the best support class. Healway is a very popular support build, just google it. However, dont take that build into PVE, as its simply not needed. Bosses generally have one hit mechanics, and regardless if you stack toughness or healing power theyll still oneshot you.
As for servers, it doesn’t really matter for anything except WvW. You can “guest” to any other servers, which is like a free temporary transfer.
As for things you should look at before you start, i strongly reccomend this guide
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/GW2-Combat-system-101-Guide
Yeah, so what are some good servers? And is choosing an Ultra Popular server good? (Will it cause lag problems or it being full?)
And finally – can you have more than one build? If not, is there a person you can buy to change it? If yes – is there a command? And I am not sure I understood the build. The BUILD helps you do the healing? Or SKILLS that you require skill points for? Like can I just change build and bam, be something else? Sorry for the confusion..
Thanks again.
EDIT: Just saw the guide. If I understood right, we can all be mesmers in a dungeon and still be great, right? Etc. Guardians look pretty boring as they have a few main skills that bore me to hell. Mesmers looks much more interesting and powerful. Think I am going with mesmer if what I said is correct. Also – does mesmer have a few support skills at least? If so which? And IS it good for PvP with a good build? Or maybe is an engineer a good class for PvP and PvE? As it can do everything? Is Engineer fun on both? Can it support etc and solo VERY well? Is it good in 1v1? Also – out of my three picks, which profession is the most played?

Argh! I have chosen to become either a Mesmer or a Guardian.. I have read your comments over and over again.. I am playing with a friend who is a thief, would a mesmer work better to play along with him? Or a guardian? We are planning to do PvP/WvW(Still don’t get the difference, please explain if you can!). Now, I get pretty angry at games that are boring at start and I quit, but I really do not want to quit here. So as I said – what would you still suggest me between mesmer and thief?
Also – off this topic.. How should I choose a world to play in? Need a world from Europe for PvP/WvW (or is this different from WoW? all worlds are the same? In WoW worlds are especially for PvE or PvP)
Healing isn’t useful in this game (in PvE). The main strategy is damage avoidance. I think you would want guardian for this, as the closest thing you can do to healing (that’s beneficial) is give aegis (which blocks the next incoming attack) before a big one hit kill.
In WvW, most zergs use water fields to blast (AOE healing) and PvP you’d want a bunker build. Most likely an engineer, guardian (or possibly ele) that can stay alive in 1vXs and help heal teammates on mid-point.
So for WvW you’d suggest a guardian? Is it fun? I saw lots of posts that it was boring.
Also, WvW is PvP isn’kitten How is this a PvE game then? Other than the leveling up.
Also – what’s a Zerg? And is the Mesmer useful for WvW at all?
Hello, I’m new to Guild Wars 2. I just bought it and I am having a hard time picking a class. I played World of Warcraft ages ago, and I am here to try this game. I played on a priest which was my favorite class there, and I know that there isn’t a healer class here but I want something close to that! Is there anything that’s good in PvP, fun for leveling and support? I WANT to heal, healing is a must for me.. Anyways – I’d love to hear your guy’s ideas, all your classes suggestions. I thought about starting a mesmer, guardian or elementalist or even a ranger. What do you guys suggest best for me? I love casting spells and doing ranged attacks – but I also love doing a lot of damage, but heal myself up and the others. I don’t want to be a class that’s “selfish” meaning benefits itself only! Help?
