Hello, forums. I’m a returning player after a long period of absence (the last Living Story I played was…. Four Winds Bazaar, I think.) I’m sure a million changes have been made since then, and I’m looking to roll up a new character with these changes in mind. Before I left (for no real reason other than real life) I played a boring and rather standard plink-plink bleed-bleed Ranger. Admittedly, I’m an explorer, so I liked being able to wander around alone and I have no real sense of twitch-reflex, so plink-plinking with muh pet bear worked fine for me.
What I’m looking for is a new class to reroll and enjoy the personal story with (again).
Things I’m Looking For:
- The ability to solo easily from level 1, preferably through level 80.
- Perma-speed boost would be nice. (Is there more than one class with this now?)
- Something that can help me through those hellish jumping puzzles?!
- A class that doesn’t need StarCraft reflexes to utilize to decent efficency. I do not want to have to only press 1, and I understand that dodging is a vital part of the game.
Things I don’t Give A Skritt’s Rear End About:
- Dungeons, zerk/speed or otherwise.
- WvW/PvP
- Big exploding numbers. Obviously killing things faster means I get back to map completion faster, but I don’t want to be a glass cannon, and would like a class/build that is moderately forgiving.
Yes, I am a casual player. I plan on doing a lot of RPing, crafting, and vista-getting. I am mildly (read: hugely) disappointed that Traits don’t start until level 30 now, but I suppose I can deal with that. I’ve done some research on Mesmers, as they sound amazingly fun, and some of their builds (Phantasm?) are slightly less prone to being glass-cannon-y, but I’m not sure.
And yes, I understand all classes can do this to some extent or other, but I’m wondering what the community’s opinion is on this. Can non-twitch players solo effectively with a class like Mesmer? Or should I stick to something ever so slightly more face-tanky, like Warrior or Guardian?
Thanks much for your help in advance! Any links to guides would be super helpful, too, as I can’t seem to find any made after 2013.
I agree with Awe. Even though I’m a GW1 vet and I love lore, I think that BOTH fractals are going to show us something about magic – Abbadon’s or the dragons’. Either fractal is going be exciting.
But I’m voting for Gnash for two reasons.
1. My main is a Charr who (in RP) is a scholar into human-Charr relations. As such, she is very interested in the Six. The fact that a fellow Charr promises to do research into the first fall of a human god is thrilling.
2. The point of the vote is to make a trade agreement with the Zephyrites. Trade agreement. Trade. This is clearly Evon’s forte, and as such he is the logical option. I have no problems OOC with Ellen or her campaign promises, and to be honest, I would probably benefit from lower WP than lower BLK costs. If the agreement was a peace treaty or a military agreement, I would vote Kiel. But in a pirate’s city, Kiel’s strengths (which are not inconsiderable), would not be best utilized. Her sole “white knight” voice would get overrun by the others, and she does a wonderful job keeping LA safe.
For that reason, I am solidly on #TeamGnashblade.
Awkward moment where current exit polls show Ellen winning by 2%. So can we go ahead and shut down this thread now, because it’s obvious they don’t?
GW2 Facebook page. They updated it about an hour or so ago. They also made an update on Twitter.
How about we use this thread as a de facto “LFG Story Arah” thread? I’m stuck there, also, and I can’t even get guildies to run it with me! (Admittedly, I am in an RP guild, so it’s not because they’re mean.)
I have to say that “Source of Orr” has to be my favourite. That was actually the moment at which I became okay with Trahearne. Defeating the Sovereign Eye and just holding of waves and waves to save the only salad-head in all of Tyria who can do what he’s doing, with no sound and “Fear Not This Night” going.
Ah. So good. If I could reply PS missions….. <3
She is in fact saying, “Healthy and hale!”
