Guild Wars 2

Sure, sorry for even trying to help.

Well you must have pretty poor decision-making skills to try 5 out of 8 classes and still not find one you like.

Short answer:
Quick bursts of damage = Thieves, Warriors, Elementalists.

Long asnwer:
Don’t you think that basing your choice purely on random players opinions is a bit superficial? My suggestion is play a bit with every profession that seems to interest you, reach level 10-15 unlocking every weapon set and then try it for a while in structured pvp ( where you are given max level, max stats gear and all abilities). Also keep in mind that while some profession seem to be oriented towards a certain role ( i.e. Guardians are mostly support/meatshields) they can all play all roles to a good degree of efficiency.

Engineer, Necro and Mesmer are the least played professions.

Kovach.5017:

You can’t craft them.

Please don’t spread misinformation. Yes you can craft them, I’m an armosmither and I’m able to craft two of them. Granted, I bought the recipes from karma vendors, but still…

First of all, keep in mind that there are RACIAL elite skills and PROFESSION elite skills. The “turn into x animal” elite skills are given to you because you are a norn. An Asura Guardian turning into a bear would be a bit silly now, wouldn’t it?

That being clarified , I’ve never tried any of those racial elites but as far as I know, Anet decided to make them weaker then class-specific elites so I wouldn’t spend my skill points on those. Try the one called renewed focus, it’s really helpful when you need that extra tankiness.

You opened up a can of worms :P

Anyways, I’ve never heard of anything about a ranking system but then again I haven’t read much news about spvp. I wouldn’t be surprised if they added it in the near future, though. It would be a great addition to the game.

I don’t think they are too strong, but for some reason there’s waaaaaay too many thieves running around in Spvp. Annoying at best.

Ok now I’m pretty sure you are bored and opening useless threads, would you please stop trolling?

The Dervish is really OP. Btw this looks like a troll thread.

Well you definitely should have the option BUT I would avoid setting the flamethrower 1 to autoattack: not only does it have a really long cast time, but for this same reason it doesn’t need to be spammed as much as other autoattacks.

No “healer” class, sorry. The best way of dealing with damage in this game is avoid it or reduce it, which is a good thing because it shift the support role to something more interesting then sitting back and spamming heals :P Give the guardian a try if you want to focus on helping your buddies.
