Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the reply. As to why, idk its just what I usually do. Play magic users in pretty much every game I play, but it was mainly just that d/d made the ele feel more like a melee dmg dealer with magic abilities than an actual mage to me.

Not opposed to it being different just like the idea of magic being dealt at a farther range than the d/d style allowed.

I haven’t played the game in a long time (pre lions arch changes) so I am pretty out of the loop. I was thinking of coming back to the game for a bit and was hoping to get some advice from current players.

I am looking for a profession that most resembles traditional mage/caster gameplay. My first round on gw2 I tried out the ele but the d/d playstyle was just never very fun for me. What profession would you suggest for someone who traditionally plays casters (ex mage/spriest in wow, sorc in aion, bright wizard warhammer).

Also, I know the game never had, nor intended to have, a set endgame but with the inclusion of fractals and the living story what would you say is the current level of consistent playability with the game? Is it something you can spend a moderate amount of time on or one of those things you might play for a while then wait for new content to be released?

Thanks in advance for any information provided!

I have a question regarding effective guardians builds for both pve/wvw and spvp. Are builds using only melee weapon (maybe holding onto staff for speed buff occasionally) effective or are you gimping yourself far too much without utilizing focus, scepter, or staff (as a main weapon)?

Appreciate any input that I can get from more experienced players.
