Thank You @Kyosika for the informative video, it's exactly what I was looking advice for, having been away from GW2 for a little over10 years (RL Happened and all that) I am about to get back into the game and was looking to start a new character, but was looking for something easy and fun to play and could solo the open world, not looking to do any Raiding anytime soon as I just want to refamiliarize myself with the game and see what changes they have made since I've been away and just enjoy the story, I was originally leaning to checking out Necromancer but now after watching your video I am really tempted to give Guardian a shot.

Guardian is Ranged. According to SC the meta FB and WB is Scepter Torch. DH is also Ranged because of Longbow as alt weapon.

I'd strongly agree! My first two classes were core ranger (which is my main atm) and core guardian. Both are incredibly fun to play! Ranger can do really good both AoE and single-target damage with a long bow + greatsword as a swap-out. Also ranger's pet can deal and tank a lot of damage, which allows you to stay relatively far from an enemy

For range and mobility though, almost all Guard build (except power Willbender) has a range option. Willbender and Dragon Hunter have excellent mobility.

I started playing basically 4 classes at the same time, Ele, War, Ranger and Guardian 7 years ago... and it always felt easy mode with the Guardian because even with not having so much HP the amount of Blocks and Heals from all his traits and skills made it really easy to use and survive specially being a newby and I have no shame to say it out loud, I play him as a DragonHunter since HoT tho

GW2 is a great game, but when i see low hp bar, this literally starts to trigger me to hate this game, also a guardian with 20k hp has survivability and damage is exactly the same as with 12k hp and I don’t understand what's the point, 12k and 20k die the same 😵💫

What is the single easiest elite specialization to play with? I leveled a necromancer. I went with scourge profession and as soon as I switched I started dying instantly. I've spent several hours trying to make it work but the specialization either needs better gear or it needs some kind of proactive playstyle. For the latter I dont know the game well enough to play proactively. I need to react to whats happening to me. So I am considering using my boost to play an easier specialization that can perform well without having to buy gear in the auction house.

Truth be told, i unfortunately have to disagree One year before i would have agreed - firebrand especially was the god emperor But now firebrand got a rework (which made it much more versatile and more fun to play in my opinion) but quite weaker and in the last patch its dmg got heavily impacted - especially for celestial allrounder which would be the pick i presume you mean here (cele is starter gear too) Firebrand can only be played good as pure dmg dealers or healquickbrand which especially the second pick is niche and also difficult to play because of the 20 weapons skills (tomes) which catapults it in the difficulty range of ele or engis… Dragonhunter is too weak still and far from versatile and willbender has high dmg but is…finicky to play at best and its playstyle of hit and run melee is more akin to a thief which are also quite difficult to play The best and easiest spec is the necro right now Tankiest of the light armor classws with very good elite specs and offers all roles in one character (but you also promoted him at the end of your video) Just wanted to clarify for those newer - sry if that messed up the message of your vid… 😅🙈

1. Firebrand is still very good and is one of the best quickness builds in the game along side Herald and Scrapper. There is no spec in the game that can bring that large amount of utility without any significant trade offs. The condi dps build on the other hand is quite bad after the burn nerf. 2. Dragon Hunter has recently been buffed. It benches around 39k now and can provide a lot of unique guardian utilities. 3. Alac Willbender was brutally murdered but the condi and power dps build are still top tier. Something related to Necro: it doesn't have an alac dps build and the heal Scourge gets worse the better your squad is.

@@sanguin3 very much true - thank you for the additions Heal scourge is the ultimate fail-safe build It helps immensely in a bad or mediocre squad (it is not affected by 5 player limits - it can support 10 players!) but its effectiveness decreases with a better squad But to be honest…you often meet a bad squad instead of a good one ^^ Heal quickness firebrand is the way to go But its difficult to play on its full potential

You may disagree of course! That's what the comments are for! You mention a lot of Elite Specializations in your comment, that's fine. However, if you look at the core professions I'd still stand with my point. Necromancer is a great alternative but is less viable in end game content.

the title should be "if you want to play without pressing too many buttons OR just with mouse". easy is in my opinion, not necessarily comfortable nor efficient. :) im biased to mesmer to being an easy class if you prefer active playstyle with the most evade, block, utility of all professions.
