Guild Wars 2

When It comes to raw details about what is best as a newer player, I’d say Warrior, Ranger and Necromancer (You can also put Guard in there aswell) They all have an easy time dealing with things.

As for classes that aren’t new friendly. Ele is considered one of the hardest, they have the lowest base health and can have quite a learning curve with Attunements for newer players.

My personal opinion… Try them, play what you ENJOY.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to go with D/F ele. I honestly dislike greatly how little of a rotation most classes have in this game.

First of all, currently most balance is around pvp. Not just Ele. Second, Ele is actually one of the top dps classes in the game when It comes to dungeons, as for pvp all the meta pvp builds stack might. It’s why hybrid cele builds are so powerful. (Thus the might nerf)

Now, concerning Eles in general. They do indeed require skill to play in the high end, they rely heavily on utility skills and the ability to dodge well. The high damage metas (Zerker gear) is even more like that, heavily suggest against the meta builds If you can’t dodge well or aren’t pro.

The group has a lot to do with it too. Newbie groups tend to be a pain as a zerk ele merely because If you are doing the rotations correctly you tend to pull like a motha. Ele is more designed for organized groups where people know the encounters and know the classes. I suggest using a staff and keep distance with bad groups.

My personal advice to the OP. Try maybe Knights gear, or even Soldiers If you really don’t feel comfortable. Even with a full Soldiers set (Though I’d keep the Accs zerker/assassin) You still put out excellent damage. (Saying you are using the correct build)

I guess now is as good as anytime to become a Vegetarian. They’ll never see me coming!

Still no word I see? Ah well, It was worth a shot!

I think an expansion would be a fantastic idea at this point. Although people seem to believe the living story generates as much content… It doesn’t. Yes, It is free which is nice and gives quite a bit considering! But It lacks many things that a real expansion offers, new classes, races, weapon types for different classes and so on. I do like the living story, however now would be the ideal time for an expansion.

The main reason they should make an expansion is for the hype, as mentioned many times the Living World doesn’t offer much hype outside of the GW2 Community. Expansions are a great way to show newer people “Hey! We’re releasing more content, come join in!”. Still, If they decide not to do one… Doesn’t matter to me, the game is free after all.

I don’t normally ever use the forums for this sort of thing, however… This bug is quite annoying, It ruins the best part of the howler. I care nothing for the looping howl, I just want the moon at night back.

If we could please get some confirmation from a Dev saying It’s being worked on or confirming It is in fact a bug that you plan to fix, that would be fantastic. I wouldn’t normally make a big deal about this… But legendaries take a lot of time and effort, we deserve to have them working correctly.

Thanks!

Yeah, the SoV change had to be the most laughable part of the whole thing. So, It’s a pile of crap… And you think adding one second to It’s active is going to fix it? Oh my god, like… Enough said.

Eh, I saw this coming. I’m glad for the axe buff. (Although It’s very, very minor) The fact that Necros have been complete crap since the beginning in pve made me realize how much this is never going to change. Thanks for the buffs Anet, but If this is ALL the changes you’ll be making in a SIX month period of time? Yeeeeah, don’t worry guys… We’ll be fixed in five years or so! kitten face

I’m always going to play the necro in dungeons and in WvW/pvp. I love the class dearly, however… I will be putting most of my time into another MMO now and only playing this one off and on. Also, when I saw that Unholy Sanctuary change on the Skill Bar, I realized just how clueless they are about the Necro… Like, really…? Lol.

This all depends on what you like, pvp or pve. In WvW they aren’t bad. In pve… Well, they could use some work. Lack of group buffs is kinda killing them right now. They could also do with buffing axe and make some life quality changes to DS, but we’ll see.

As mentioned, wait until they feature them in the skill bar to pass any judgement.

I’d agree on Minionmaster, although take well of suffering over one of the minions, during low level stuff It’s beast for packs and even single mobs. For weapons, set one dagger/warhorn and for set two staff (For some quick control, easy get away! Never know when you hit a champ while not paying attention!)

Though I also agree on the have fun with it and try new things, while leveling you get to relax and experiment, so feel free to do so.

I hope that the necro will be one of the two next classes for the skill bar. Being a hardcore necro player in all aspects of the game (Mainly pve) I think they need a rather large overhaul. Although they match up decently in WvW, in pve they’re widely considered one of the worst classes to take into a group due to lack of group buffs and let’s not forget the medium par damage output with both DS and Daggermancer. Being a die hard DS/axe junkie even during the days of the Conditionmancer, I totally agree! Axe needs a buff that makes it more useful then a secondary weapon for DS builds.

Anyway, back to the point! I know how you feel OP! Sticking with my class of choice has been a pain and wonderful at the same time. But my advice would be to just stick with what you enjoy. One way or the other Anet will address the problems of each class and weapon. I already constructed my Frostfang and I don’t regret it, no matter what they do… Sooner or later they will buff the axe for necros and deal with the problems. So choose what you like the best, I find it the only way to play and be happy.

Hey! I’m quite interested in the Guild. I checked out the website, love you guys lore. I’m honestly looking for a place to call home, I’m also looking to get into RP on GW2. I’ve been playing for a long time and GW2’s lore has always been awesome.

I can also assist with the pve, I’m a Commander and Dungeon Master (I have the title, but I’m more referring to just knowing the dungeons.) This includes Fractals. I’m also always willing to teach! I run my daily Fractal and I always welcome new people.

Anyway, look me up in game or through the forums and we can talk more. My main is Lucien Greythorne, I’m on a decent amount. Hope to hear from you soon.
