Guild Wars 2

Warrior is the best for solo at the moment because they can be very diverse. I played warrior as my first class and played it for 8 months. However, they are easy to play, a bit boring, and is the most played class.

Now I play Guardian and regret not rolling this as my first character. As previously mentioned you can build a heal-spec Guardian and surviving will be very easy. You also have the ability to focus on DPS and use more defense utilities to survive. The Guardian requires more skill than a Warrior if you want to excel and to be hones is more fun. As a warrior stunning and using 100 blades is fun for the first few levels but then it becomes repetitive.

Guardians are very weak at evading. Run staff as previously mentioned and spam 3 when you are able, run retreat, and also use Greatsword 3 for a leap. Cycle between these three when you are in need to evade. Also, if you know you are being chased cast Staff 5 to knock down those who don’t run stability.

It is important to switch utilities and weapons when engaging in combat. To make this easier you can keep your backpack open in the corner of your screen or your hero menu.

I would suggest running in a small group if you are new to WvW. You will learn the game mechanics quicker than running in a zerg because you will be forced to pay attention more. If you run solo you will be trolled by thief’s all day.
