For those whos afraid of picking elementalist, there is several builds right there that makes the class really esasy to pick up. Like fresh air, basically you wont be touching the other attunements because your critical hits make your lighting element reset, so you can keep spamming lighting all the way :)

Do note that "easy to play" does not translate into "low skill cap" in Guild Wars 2. Classes like warrior, ranger and guardian are easy to pick up, but seasoned players can 'cheat' fight mechanics with timing and correct skill chains, without sacrificing damage. Overall, they're more timing-focused than the caster classes, who emphasize skill order.

If we're talking maximum efficiency and ability, there are NO easy classes in Guild Wars 2.

Misspoke* Mesmer is a LIGHT ARMOR Class!*

I've been playing for about three weeks now and your videos have been a huge help to me thank you my man.

[yochillz]

I'm new to Guild Wars 2. Or well new to MMO's in general, Guild Wars is my very first mmo and I just started today

[Bunstonious]

I have played the game since around launch, however it's never been my main game. One of the things that impacts my ability to play is anxiety (Thanks wow) and the game's over reliance on rigid rotations to do good damage, due to past trauma my memory is very bad so I am unable to remember a complex rotation and I struggle to keybind due to the memory issues (and this also impacts my class choices too). My order of favourites below.

1) Revenant - This is probably one of the more flexible rotation wise and has been one of my favourites since I picked it up a few years ago. The Renegade spec is a master stroke in my opinion and I perform the best with this elite spec over everything else, it's also got that edgy feel that I so love.

2) Warrior - They pick things up and hit things... I love hitting things. I love spellbreaker as a theme, I love berserker as a theme and I WOULD love Bladesworn except that there is no way to change the appearance of the gunsaber, they really need to add this functionality. I love everything about the warrior and it's close to Revenant for me.

3) Engineer - I dislike base engineer and I hate kits because you can't change the skin of the weapons, but I LOVE scrapper and I LOVE Holosmith. I also think that the sheer amount of Mechanists in raids on launch and how it was a meme shows how good Mechanist is. It's a great class because of it's elite specs, but as a technologist myself I appreciate this class a lot.

4) Mesmer - I'm very bad at Mesmer because they usually have a complex rotation, but I LOVE the theme and I LOVE making gold with tips from ports. The time mage theme of chrono I like, the condi Mirage is fun and relatively easy to play, it's an all around fun class to play. I just wish I wasn't so bad at it :(

5) Guardian - I want to love Guardian as I love the "Paladin" archetype, but they're really hard to play for me for some reason and I always perform worse than most professions. I'm also still salty that the longbow sucks on Dragonhunter which is my favourite theme in this entire game. Just buff longbow ANet please.

6) Necromancer - In some ways I feel like Necromancer should be higher on my list, but every man and his dog plays one. What can I say, the theme is A++ and the execution for them is A++. I didn't think i'd like Harbinger when they announced it but it's some of the most fun I have had in this game, ever. Whoever designed the elite spec, hats off to you.

7) Thief - Again I suck at Thief, but I like it's playstyle and if I wasn't such a scrub i'd really enjoy it. As a person i'm not much of a 'stealthy' guy and I almost never play assassin classes, but Daredevil and Deadeye are exquisitely designed. I'd love rifle to be better for deadeye, but both elite specs are amazing. I haven't tried spectre as it's isn't my jam tho.

8) Ranger - In WoW I love the hunter, in FFXIV I hate the bard (because it's not a real archer) but in GW2 I find the ranger to be one massive missed opportunity. I wanted them to lean in to the bow style and have a good DPS spec that uses the bow but it's always rated so middling. I don't like Druid at all and I don't feel it fits the theme that much, I don't really like the weird glow that untamed has for their pets and I really like soulbeast as you can not have a pet (although you feel forced not to have a pet with that spec). I just wish it was better than it is, and it always feels like the bridesmaid to all the other professions.

9) Elementalist - I hate dying, and I spend more time dead than alive with elementalist. The rotation and elite specs are far too complicated for me and so I just can't get into it. I wish I could, but I legit suck the worst at this class than anything else. :(

Thankyou for coming to my ted talk.

I've been playing since the 2nd to last Betas. Love the game. I remember seeing the showcasing for the Guardian, and I was like "that's it, that's my profession", and It's still my main xD

[unrefined]

started playing a long time ago after playing GW1, but didn't actively play until 2 weeks ago. Bounced around a lot, but currently leveling a necro, mid 60's currently. Other love is the Mesmer, necro is just so much more forgiving. Ty for the videos, they help a ton

[yamuni]

Playing for about 3 days. Your vids are amazing and have been super helpful!!!!

[deporter]

was searching for an advice like this. ty

[EnzoVinZ]

I disagree with Mesmer as "medium" difficulty -- it's a challenging difficulty since it's a class unique to Guild Wars, not a lot of players will be familiar how to play that profession. As for Ele-MENTAL-ist -- you have to be mental to play this profession -- it's in the name. Tagging it as "challenging" is putting it lightly. Great video as usual.

[Fububoo]

10:32 keep in mind guild wars 1 competed with EQ. The Mesmer is just an an updated enchanter with more mage skills.

[Dayman]

Been playing on and off since release, every time I feel like coming back I watch videos like this one to see what's doing well and refresh my memory.

[nikolaosavdikos]

Awesome video ! I really really enjoyed it dude

[ImKioto]

For those that want to try elementalist but are thrown off because of the difficulty. As a newer player who's starting endgame content and going throw the expansions right now, here's my take. I've always been a fan of Magical dps classes in MMOs and I love games to be somewhat challenging. The ele caught my eye because it seemed to fit the criterias. I found that it's difficulty depends entirely of yourself. I had a lot of success early in the game using the staff and just maneging distances (also using ele summons) and It honestly wasn't even hard. As I got to understand the basics of the class I swapped to mid-short range weapons and a faster paced gameplay (and I continue to do that since I'm loving sword/dagger Weaver spec). Yes, it's hard, but I chose it. So the moral of the story would be: don't fear the ele, just make it easy at first and go as far as you are confortable. The ele is a dope class, best magic type class i've seen in any mmo

[userunknown]

Im just getting into this cause people on Once Human were talking about it. Your video helps with my decision, thank you

[illidion]

Guardian is my main. I love my virtues, they are my blessing which helping me on my way. Firebrand is the strongest support, i prefered this one untill willbender appeared but now i have a great variation of roles... Direct DPS, condi DPS, quick, heal, alacrity and everything can be combined by changing the proportions and builds.

[kaungsan]

I just started playing for the very first time 2 days ago and I chose Engineer as my first class in this game... I am loving every second of it until I saw this video and now I am scared to continue the class XD

[justjosh]

Thanks this was useful.

I played on release for a month or two, and maybe 3/4 years ago played for another week or so, but not since. Played GW1 a lot back in the day, played a lot of WoW from vanilla to cata, recently picked that back up and having a blast in dragonflight.

BUT, have an itch in the back of my mind to give GW2 another go for a while, so this video was useful as i literally remember nothing!

[lightfm]

Great intro to the classes, thank you
