Guild Wars 2

I’ve been browsing the profession forums a little bit, but just like every other game there is a great deal of “my class is the worst class” and “this class needs to be nerfed!”

Elementalist looks fun, but I was also curious about Mesmers. I just can’t imagine what the play style is based on the description.

So, I am new and currently (impatiently) patching the game, and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by all the class options. I am sure I am not alone in coming into this as a WoW veteran, and while I am excited about the unique twists on class design, I really don’t know what to expect.

I do prefer ranged/casting classes (or at least I did in WoW – that might be different here!) but the quick profession descriptions on the website likely do not paint a full picture of what each profession is really like.

So what are your favourites, which do you hate – and why?
