Guild Wars 2

Which of the two professions would you prefer in PVE settings.

Which one is the most fun to level and play in open world events?

Do both professions have a role to play in dungeons?

If played to its maximum potential which profession would be able to solo the most content?

Thanks for your time!

Simply suggesting that if a poster is making suggestions to the OP, that they have personal experience when making claims. I feel that is reasonable.

It seems to me that spoj has been very patient in answering your questions thoroughly even though every time you have posted it’s been dripping with sarcasm and generally rude. Is there a reason that you are questioning his knowledge about the game in such a manner? I don’t know spoj at all but just looking at his posts it seems that he knows what he is talking about and is generally helpful to others.

Thanks so much! I am seriously enjoying GW2 right now and its good to see bugs getting fixed and feedback/heads up from the developers. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a ton jackaljag this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. It’s nice to know there are helpful people lurking around the forums and not just the doom and gloom crowd.

Yes I was referring to the grenades ground targeting….but honestly I still loved the grenades and their range, I think the targeting is just something to get used to. Its a lot like my necro’s marks….but much more spammy. Thanks for the information I didn’t even realize that healing turret made a field upon overcharging. So do you thing rifle is better than pistols then?

Oh man this sounds like me! I too only have the 5 slots and I delete and make a new character daily. I do have a lvl 80 but I shelved him after he was max lvl and now I am in an altoholic spiral. I rationalize with myself that I am just kind of like key farming right? ….right?

Ok I have one character slot left and I am looking for a prof to fill it. Someday I’ll by more slots but that day is not today! I have a warrior, ranger, necro, and guardian. I am looking for a class that is good at open world pve, maybe some dungeoning. If I ever get into pvp more it would be roaming and zerging I doubt I would ever get into the ranked team play.

I am looking for a prof that is versatile, can dish out damage, and survivability is important. I would like to be able to take on large groups of normal mobs if need be.

So far I have leveled each of these classes into the teens and I like things about each of them. I wasn’t crazy about mesmer but enlighten me if you like. I enjoyed the constant aoe blinds and the teleports of the thief. I really enjoyed all of the aoe damage from the engineer but there was an awful lot of ground targeting. I also liked the toolbelt and how it changed with utilities, and healing turret was pretty nice. I really WANT to love elementalist and I like the abilities and attunements but I die an awful lot, is there a way to lvl in a tankier way with the ele?

All tips and tricks are welcomed, thanks in advance.

Thanks so far for all of the info! It looks like warrior or gaurdian is the way to go. I leveled a necro for a while last year before I took a break from the game, how are necros these days? I imagine playing a minion necro would develop the same kinds of bad habits as a ranger though, what do you think?

So, what weapons and traits are people enjoying on Guardians and Warriors? Thanks again everyone for the input.

I also checked out that combat sticky that was linked and it was very helpful thanks.

Ok, ok I know everyone is going to jump in here and say “open world is faceroll” “every profession is fine” etc etc. Let me explain.

I am a casual player that likes to relax some evenings when I am able and play some gw2. I was looking for opinions on what you think are the easiest professions to perform well within open world pve mostly, perhaps dungeons in the future but not right now.

I would like to be able to level up my prof, do the personal story, and solo veterans/champions, skill challenges etc. I am aware that all profs can likely do this in the right hands but as I said I am a casual player and don’t have time for min/maxing and research.

What are your opinions? Which profs and builds would you choose for this content? What weapons and traits are most effective? I need help staying alive so which ones are tankiest? etc.

I thank you ahead of time for your knowledge and any tips are appreciated.
