  • In this Guild Wars 2 (GW2) guide I'll help you choose the class, or profession as we call it in GW2, you should play! At the start of the video you'll find my personal Class Tier List that shows the difficulty of each class and their corresponding Elite Specializations.
    This guide is completely up-to-date for 2022 and the years to come. It includes all the Professions you can play as a free-to-play player and the Elite Specializations that come with the Heart of Thorns, Path of Fire and End of Dragons expansions.
    Each Profession and their Elite Specializations are explained in about 200 seconds. This keeps the video understandable for new Guild Wars 2 players. Builds are not discussed since this might change in the (near) future.
    DISCLAIMER: Anything said or mentioned in this video is in the context of the video game Guild Wars 2.
    In this this video I'll discuss the following points/questions:
    • What profession should you play?
    • What are the Elite Specializations for each GW2 Profession and Expansion?
    • What profession or Elite Specialization should you use in specific situations?
    • Gameplay of the all the professions in Guild Wars 2
    • A tier list for each profession based on their difficulty
    Looking for a specific profession or Elite Specialization? Use the Timestamps:
    0:00 - What's in the video?
    1:00 - Profession Difficulty (Class Tier List)
    2:25 - The Warrior (Berserker, Spellbreaker, Bladesworn)

    Necromancer may be THE best class to learn the game with. It has a huge pool of hitpoints backed up by the Lifeforce mechanic, excellent sustain, access to very strong builds in both Power and Condition damage, pets to distract enemies, and great control of conditions and boons. The Reaper elite spec is particularly indestructible in the right build, able to tank truly insane amounts of damage comfortably.

      @@Kyosika always will be, but lately i'm starting to think that getting people invested in tougher classes like ele early on would be good for the end game pve community as a whole, because people can do good dps on classes like reaper completely by accident, so they don't actually spend any time learning cancels or rotations, they get used to the game on easy mode and when it's time to step into raids and stuff they quickly roll over and say "well i'm never doing that again"

    Great Video!! I'm about to get back in again with a friend of mine, who basically never played an MMO, and I recommended this video for him (and myself) as an initial understanding of what class he wants to play.
    I played GW2 way back on release in 2012 (I think), and it was so good. The timing was off because I was in my second year of college, just got married and my mom passed away all that year. I started playing GW2 but I quickly realized it was an escape from everything happening that year, so I quit a few months in and focused on dealing with everything instead. That was definitely the right call. I always wanted to return, but never got around to it, and this video explains everything so well it really helped me prepare to start a new game.
    I'm going to start with Guardian, because I remember it being sort of OP when I played lol. Since I'll kind of be carrying him through the workings of an MMO I think the ability to heal him or myself as a mostly solo player will be a big help, along with shield and pretty good damage. I also like the fact that the professions get a bit more difficult as you go through expansions, because it kind of keeps the game fresh over time.

    • @Kyosika
      @Kyosika  Рік тому +1

      First of all, I'm sorry to hear that your mom passed. I hope you, your family and friends are doing well. I hope you got through everything well.
      Furthermore, Guardian is a really solid pick. It was strong in 2012 and it might be even stronger in 2022. It is really a jack of all trades that can be found in every (end game) group!
      Good luck on your journey and don't forget to have fun!

      @@eckee So far I'm lvl 30 with the ele and I learned all the 20 staff spells. I personally quite enjoy the different elements and heals with different boons based on what I need in a fight. Tbh, I hate the fact that weaver is VERY HARD to play and so far people only told me to get off ele because it's hard and useless in endgame, unless I'm a tempest. I personally love playing difficult classes, it makes everything more interesting, and for mesmer, I tried it until lvl 21 and I don't enjoy it as much as elem.
      Some people say you should play what you like, but elitists say that only some classes are viable and they refuse anyone who isn't playing one of those in their group.
      If you say mesmer is better, I'll try playing it more and see what's up, but honestly, I would rather stick to ele and go for weaver 😄

      @@Alfheidhr If you wanna do endgame pve content with other players, like raids or strikes, mesmer is better. And mesmer is better in pvp and wvw too. You’re not gonna be really useful with elementalist in group content. Other than that, play whatever you love, it’s a game and it’s your enjoyment. And it’s easier to build other professions once you have one ready. You don’t have to pick one.
      Edit: ele is also good in wvw but mesmer brings more tools imo thus more valuable.
      And I mentioned mesmer is easy because easy means better overal performance. Real bosses do not stand still and let you attack however you want. They run, jump, phase attack you etc. With elementalist you’ll have lots of downtime affecting your dps. And that’s important because that’s the only thing you bring to the group.

    You forgot to mention the unique thief mechanic, Stealth Attack . Anytime you go into stealth, you stop attacking and you're normal attack (1) changes into an entirely different skill called a Stealth Attack; that you can use once while in stealth. Every weapon has a different stealth attack and effects.
    It is powerful and should be used anytime you're in stealth. New players can easily miss mechanic and continue their normal rotation, losing out on some big numbers. I know I did when I first tried thief.

    Also, coming from FFXIV where each job has about 24-36 (usually more toward 30-36 or so) abilities and there are 19 jobs (plus 3 gatherers and like 8 crafters although they’re all basically the same abilities so more like 21 jobs worth total) and every job can be played on the same character, that’s like 630-780 abilities total (give or take), I think this more than prepares me for Elementalist when I get around to that xD

Granted, you can still play a Druid with all the abilities and weapons that Core Ranger gets, but you'll probably get more value out of Druid's additions in most party based content.

      Thematically, Mesmer is awesome but Im hesitant. Then there is guardian which is a lot of fun, but highly populated and I only like willbender. Oh! Can't forget about Vindicator, but wait; I don't like the dodge. I know, I love Bladesworn and greatswords so warriors are cool. Hmm maybe not, the gunblade doesn't change at all which is lame and GS is useless in strikes.

I told him that its my account and I can play whatever I want to play and he said I'm selfish lol...Toxic players shouldn't play this game at all seriously so I blocked him...no one should dictate to anyone what to use...reaper can survive even against 3 people in my experience, I think he didn't know that... :(

    Excellent video! I just wanted to return to Guild Wars 2 and I am torn between Thief (because of Deadeye and Specter) and Mesmer (Mirage and Virtuoso) - I can’t say your video made the decision easier, but it helped a lot in getting a real good overview about the core mechanics of each spec.

    • @optimizedlaziness6183
      @optimizedlaziness6183 2 роки тому +1

      Virtuoso and Specter are very new player friendly. Virt is ranged and can deal good damage without too much tryhard and is excellent if you put in the effort, and Specter has good mobility and damage and can self generate barrier + has a shroud so it is very resistant

  • @tomognb8429
    @tomognb8429 2 роки тому +6

    Feeding the ravenous, soulless beast that is The Algorithm. Amazing video! Question for ya: some of the elite specs are labeled as "easy" in the "hard" core professions. So if you play Thief, it is always difficult, but the Daredevil elements are easy, or does the class in general BECOME easy when you play DD?

    • @bunjay8226
      @bunjay8226 2 роки тому

      i don't play thief personally but i do play mesmer which imo has a similar situation with the virtuoso spec, i think what it means is that the initial learning curve of thief is on the harder side since its a more unconventional class with its lack of cooldowns and such, but the shift from being proficient at thief to learning daredevil would be fairly straightforward since it doesn't change a whole lot about the class's identity and just adds on top of it. on the other hand specter and deadeye change the class a LOT so the things you learned on core thief arent always transferable

    • @Krelion1
      @Krelion1 2 роки тому

      I main thief and id say that Deadeye is a bit hard in pve since the rotation is simple, but you lose a lot of damage if you fail it, the Daredevil is by far the easiest elite spec in my opinion and Specter isnt that hard either. In Pvp thief is generally harder than some other classes, since you arent very strong and have to rely on deceiving your enemies to win. The class generally changes difficulty based on the elite spec, but I personally dont agree with all the ratings.

    • @Kyosika
      @Kyosika  2 роки тому +2

      Great question! What I mean by that, if we take the thief as an example, is that the Thief is generally harder compared to other professions (e.g. Guardian, Necro). So, if you chose a thief then then the Daredevil would be easy. So it's basically Hard + Easy = Intermiate(ish). Specter for example > Hard + Harder = Really hard to master!
