Guild Wars 2

I was thinking of making a theif and making him mostly ranged. Im interesting in using dual pistols witha shortbow in second slow.

Anyone have any experience using this combo?

Seeing how mesmers only wear light armor. would’nt this make them very squishy?
I have played a necromancer and while they do have light armor they have alot of hp to make up for it, what about mesmers?

Thanks for all the information all
Im now trying to decide between mesmer or guardian ^^

I was thinking of making a mesmer that focused on using sword/sword as main and staff or GS as second set.

I should probably mention that this is mostly for PvE

What are your opinions?

And what about in PvE?

I was thinking of making a theif that uses p/p with a shortbow in the second slot.
Are they viable?

What’s people experience with this setup?

Thanks for all the great answers, very informative.
I wonder would the spiritweapons make up for the lack of damage if i choose to mainly use a staff as weapon?

Hi im curious about making a guardian that focuses around spiritweapons but i wonder how viable they are.

What’s your opinion on spiritweapons?

Is it a viable weapon for pve?
While being good at lower levels, after lvl 10 or so it starts to become really lackluster and the damage poor.

Does it gets better at higher levels again, 80?

How is dagger damage at higher levels? Im currently 25 and with good equipment my daggers dont hit for much. I have no trouble killing mobs but it takes longer then most other classes.
Besides that, against champion mobs in events i usually always get a bad rating compared to my warrior that always gets gold.

Anyone know how they work?

When transforming to say into a wolfform, does the form has it’s own stats or are they based upon your characters stats?

for example. Would a heavy armor wearing Norn take less damage in a form then a light armor wearing one?
