At the end of the day, if a class is underperforming, it really doesn't matter who's playing it. A class based tier system would also help justify buffs and nerfs as it would provide an obvious and unconditional report. ie. 60% of rangers are gold or higher, while maybe 60% of mesmers are gold and lower. Ranger is probably the most well-rounded "generalist" class for new players. Aside from pet, Ranger doesn't really have any gimmicks. It's probably even more straightforward than even Warrior. You have skills, and they have cooldowns. That's it. Where Ranger excels in endgame content is its incredible utility. Yes, come play! Don't delete your old characters; they'll have lots of lovely birthday gifts! But if you have a spare char slot, it's not a terrible idea to level someone new to 80, to re-learn the game! They've made some changes to levelling so it's VERY fast now; it's a quite good way to relearn the game! DON'T GET HIT. F2P/Core game you can easily facetank everything. Incoming damage isn't very high and few things are dangerous. Focus on dodging and using abilities to prevent damage to become a better player. Once you get to an expansion, the enemies hit like trucks. #3. Parry Jackson Jan 15, 2023 @ 3:40am. Players Helping Players. "Tank" class/build in GW2. Hey, so first I just wanna say that I perfectly know there is no trinity and no tanking like I can be used to in other mmos. I played GW2 years ago and wanted to play back with friends with a new character and since then I've been a big main tank in endgame pve content in many games, and pvp Not the best setup, there are cooldowns that do better jobs and minion actives are useful but you can pretty much use 3 buttons when on GS, can swap to axe and click 2 buttons to increase life force, F1 and just use Reaper 4 and 1. Reaper 1 is insane damage. Staff Daredevil damage is mostly from Staff 2 and autoattack chain. fyjkJ. Players Helping Players. Help choosing a class for returning player. Hi to all, well to start, like the title states, I'm a returning player from 2015 more or less I don't recall the exact year but I digress, I have been melting my brain over deciding which class to main this time, I used to be a thief main before the expansions came out and I Players Helping Players. New player needs help deciding class. I think this is the first time I created a topic regarding mmo class selection. Like this game confuses me so hard. Sure I found my answers on google but it seems a lil dated so I would preferably like to compare the data. Im a really bad player to start of. Mostly that's because she can't type (chatting in game is out) and she is hard of hearing so she can't do discord. Still, Mom plays every day and makes all of the classes work for her. Her favorite class has varied. Her first favorite class was the ranger with a longbow because the pet tanked and the character could stand way back with the longbow. I am a new player to gw2 and for the life of me, i cannot decide on what class i want to level and play. I've tested all the classes except for warrior up to level 10-20. One thing about me is that I love pvp, and the World versus World mode really intrigues and appeals to me.I love the look of revenant, but i hear it is hated in both pvp and No need to chase them down, just fire away. When I run a new Living World zone, or a living story, it's on a ranger. None of the stuff will be too hard for it, as it has to be easy enough for 80% of the players to get through. Next would be any class with a semi-controllable pet, most notably necros and GS or staff mesmers. Necro is in my opinion definitely the most sustaining class for new players. I’ve seen lots of gaming parents also having their young children start with that, cause you basically don’t die as easily and having pets helps a lot. =D. I personally started with a Mesmer and it was fine too. Wouldn’t recommend though. 4.
