Guild Wars 2: ALL Classes (Professions) & Elite Specializations in 200 seconds! | Up-to-date 2024

[@user-zc5hb2tw2s]

Such a high quality video and one of the most informative ones I've seen for MMORPG mechanics! I always come back to this one

[@Kyosika]

Wooooahhhh J!!! Thank you sooo sooo much! Your donation means the world to me. I've put so much effort into this video. I tried to be as concise as possible and I think it worked out fine! If there is anything I can do for you! Join my discord and let me know!

Honestly the best profession guide I've seen. Made me install the game :D

[@Kyosika]

Oh damn! I made you install the game?! That's great!

[@Wenedi]

Yeah, I always thought gw2 combat is really slow with ugly vfx but after seeing the elementalist I’ve decided to give it a go :D

[@danielb3470]

I'm just about to try the game and this video is by far the best introduction video.

[@chwig7354]

@K1TT3N Same here. This breakdown got me too install as well!

@@danielb3470 how are you doing so far? am thinking of starting the game, too.

What did you go with?

[@JustChillTelevision]

I did the same lol and I choice Guardian 👌🏻

[@nerfworthy112]

I'm so happy this video was put back up, I've sent it to numerous friends to help them dip their toes into GW2. This is hands down the best overview of all classes on YT. Great work here!!! THANK YOU!

[@Kyosika]

Woooow! Thank you so much Krystal! If there is anything I can do for you, let me know!

[@EsperG2]

I don't play GW2 but this video is so high quality!! I'm kind of interested now? I love how in-depth and in-lore your explanation was, and that you added full English captions. Thanks!

[@Kyosika]

Wooahhhh! Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that :)

[@Blackmetalstudios]

I played this game for a few months when it came out. I was overwhelmed by all the new stuff they added to the game when I returned today. This guide is a great summary, thank you.

[@Kyosika]

Thank you so much! Good luck on picking a profession!

[@VintageNarwhal]

Literally same

[@revanfel]

I'm in an on-off-relationship with GW2 from the start of the game, have tried most of the core classes for myself, but am far from proficient with all the possible specs. This video got you a like as well as a sub from me since it gives an excellent quick overview of the general playstyles. I will definitely recommend it to some newer players I ran into. Best regards and thank you very much for the obvious effort put into this.

[@Kyosika]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! And sharing is very much appreciated! :)

[@samzamzow8314]

The detail that you go into on each class is excellent! Quick yet thorough enough to discuss their differences! Makes me want to pick up a Mesmer or elementalist again!

[@Kyosika]

Awesome, thank you! So happy it helped :D

[@softwire8272]

The amount of work put into this video is greatly appreciated! Such high quality work man!

[@Kyosika]

Much appreciated! It took me so long to create, glad it's out there and people like it ;)

[@Josh-99]

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]

Necromancer has sooooo many possibilities! It's still one of my favorites!

[@Haydatsanime]

@@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"

[@Surokkh]

What a 10/10 video! Quite detailed, yet easy to follow and engaging. Great work bro, thank you♥️

Thank you so much David! Happy to hear that :)

[@BloomHD]

Such an excellent video, keep sending this to friends getting into the game! Excellent pacing and editing - absolutely perfect for showcasing each class :)

[@Kyosika]

Much appreciated! So happy you like it!

[@ElioRose]

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]

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!

[@byzero_]

Just starting out on GW2 after about 9 years now and this video is by far the best I came across on deciding what to start with! Thanks @Kyosika! Well done!

[@Kyosika]

Glad I could help and welcome! :D

[@CrescentGuard]

After having been part of the open beta but having put the game down before the expansions, this was a really helpful refresher and a darn good one. Cheers, amigo!

[@Kyosika]

Glad to hear it!

[@thenaaru]

Thanks for this! I've been playing GW2 very casually on and off for a few years but only recently decided to play more seriously. This video is amazingly helpful in deciding what professions to focus on!

[@Kyosika]

Glad you enjoyed! So happy with comments like these!

[@drallak442]

This is super helpful. MMO's are always overwhelming at first and to really get a feel for the classes, I'm having to put at least 4 hours into the character to even start to understand the skills and class potential.

[@Kyosika]

Glad it helps!

[@EggoPop]

This is the greatest explanation of the classes I have found so far. Jumping in new you get told to "try them all" but you really don't know what you're looking forward to when leveling. Now I know exactly what I wanna try. Thank you so much.

[@stoneyNET]

What did you end up trying?

[@EggoPop]

Daredevil Thief and Reaper Necro stood out as playstyles I would enjoy. I already have an Engi just gotta unlock the mech.

[@Kyosika]

Wow, thank you! Glad the video helped :)

[@andrewjohns1266]

Been binging Mukluk, and I greatly appreciate this guide both for it’s in depth analysis while being easily digestible

[@Kyosika]

Thank you!! Tell Muk I said hi!

[@Nienna_Asyare]

I’ve recently been checking out GW2 and this has been really nice and helpful! Ty! 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

[@Kyosika]

You are going to be a great Elementalist with this experience!

[@Nienna_Asyare]

@@Kyosika I forgot to mention I decided to try Ranger first xD and I’m really liking Druid so far (all 1 of the skills I have atm lol) but I’m definitely looking forward to trying elementalist in the future too! Ty!

[@crimsonwizahd2358]

Keep in mind that Druid specifically is very much designed around healing allies and providing boons (buffs basically). 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.

[@Nienna_Asyare]

@@crimsonwizahd2358 I wish I got notifications for replies so I’m not like a month late :c Ty! Those types of classes tend to be my favorite! I’m also really glad at the versatility of the game and how I can be more of a damage dealer with another elite spec if I choose/need lol

[@voidbite]

@@Nienna_Asyare Maybe you can see replies in gmail? atleast I can.

[@Alfheidhr]

I just started playing GW2 a few days ago, can't wait to find out who to main 😊 I personally love elementalist ❤️

[@Kyosika]

Oh yeah! Then this is the video for you! Let me know if you need any help :)

[@eckee]

Prepare to suffer lmao. Get a mesmer imo. It works great in every game mode. It has great power and condi dps variants, can provide alac or quickness, it has great and unique utility for your group, it can fill exclusive roles and it's easy to play. Elementalist is very hard and other classes can do what elementalists can do and more with much less effort.

[@Alfheidhr]

@@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 😄

[@eckee]

@@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.

[@Alfheidhr]

@@eckee I personally despise PVP and whatever is tied to it. I EXCLUSIVELY want to do PVE content. But as I said, I'll level up a mesmer as well, and see where to go from there. Thank you for taking the time to write back to me. Or as you would say in Turkey, Tessekur Ederim 😄

[@craigerz2875]

Massive thanks for this video. I started GW2 the day it launched but was only able to play for a month before I had to get rid of my PC. Finally looking to get back into the game after all these years. Looks like I'll be going engineer

[@Kyosika]

Great choice! Have fun buddy!

[@aBlackMage]

A friend recommended I try this game and I found this video trying to decide what profession to play. Now I'm 100% certain I want to play Elementalist -> Weaver. I've always loved Spellblade/Red Mage type classes and combining elements sounds so cool! Thanks for the great video! :)

[@Kyosika]

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll love Weaver!

[@Bengis_Kahn]

Im pretty sure this videos is the quickest guide that can give you alot about every professions in Guild Wars 2. Very good and helpful. but new players would still be overwhelm because of elite specialization lol. anyway, great video as always kyosika! keep it up

[@Kyosika]

Glad you think so! You have a point. New players might be overwhelmed but I would love to give them a taste of what they can eventually unlock!

[@alvinberglund528]

Dude very good job, i was looking for something like this video a week ago but no one ever explained it this well!

[@regnierfloydbartiana1031]

This is a great profession and elite specialization guide, precise but informative. I just started playing 2 days ago, and as a range/mage mmorpg player together with this guide I've got an idea on which profession and elite specialization to try and decide what to main without having to try all of it just to drop it at some point. Thank you so much for this video.

[@Kyosika]

Welcome aboard! Glad this one helped!

[@Psoewish]

This is such a well made and well produced video, great job! I will definitely be linking this to any new players asking for help looking for a class to play. Also mesmer for life :)

[@Kyosika]

Awesome! Thank you so much! Sharing is super helpful for these kind of videos :)

[@Ikaraii]

Seriously the best profession guide out there (and I’ve seen most). As a veteran that left the game for a while and is rejoining to try out EoD this video is invaluable. Having deep knowledge of the elite specialisations up to PoF I can say that the info you give for those is perfect to understand and reflects the class very well so hearing your take on the EoD classes makes me feel prepared for my return. Thanks!

[@Kyosika]

So happy with your comment. Glad you liked it!

[@Dabenax]

new player here, you made me want to play so many options that i didn't consider before, great work on this video

[@Kyosika]

Glad I could help!

[@fluffymuffin7235]

OMG I am new to the game and this by far gave me the most information and helped me to understand my guradian! I love how to went over all spec actually saying how they operate and how they are different from each other. I am going to save this vid for later when I lvl different professions! Thank you ♥

[@Kyosika]

Glad the video helped!

[@Loweryi]

amazing video! glad it was recommended to me. this is such a great primer and i'll be sending it to friends to get them to figure out a class they want to play. great job!!

[@Kyosika]

Oh yeah!! Thank you so much :D

[@alecs93]

This video is the most complete, while being a straight to the point guide to chose a class that I’ve seen. You’ve done a great job !

[@Kyosika]

YES! That's exactly what I was going for!

[@Burnlit1337]

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.

[@Kyosika]

Ah yes! Great addition! It's the same with the Mirage's Ambush skill.

[@butterflysrage]

@@Kyosika also missed the combo attack on the 3 if you're using two 1-handed weapons :)

[@JLawL]

Man I'm so glad I found this! I've been playing ESO for quite some time now, where you can have a friend get you to max level in about 45 minutes. Coming to GW2 and knowing that all these elite specs exist, but not having a way to see whether or not I'd even like them until many hours of grinding was stressing me out lol. Now I've got a pretty good idea of what direction I want to go with my first couple characters.

[@Kyosika]

Glad I could help! Happy to read these comments!

[@dranrebm1564]

Very compact but detailed overview! Great job! Good for beginners als well as returning players without getting too long!!

[@Kyosika]

Much appreciated!

[@mrmangbro6842]

Thank you, as a new player to this game and MMOs (aside from OSRS from back in 2012 at school lol...) this helps a lot !!! So far im about 20 hours into a Guardian Sylvari

[@Kyosika]

Thank you so much! Good luck on leveling your Guardian! It's a great profession!

[@MrAlexDaydreamer]

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.

[@GweniswasntTaken]

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

[@Kyosika]

Glad you enjoyed! Why not level them both! :)

[@rianmilit]

Really great guide, thank you so much! At first I was apprehensive, cause 200s seemed too little time, but the way you explain everything makes it worth the while.

[@Kyosika]

You're very welcome! I tried my best to be as concise as possible!

[@DutchOrBelgian]

Excellent guide! Mesmer is my favorite! I really miss when phantasms were permanent until destroyed. I’m hoping the next expac will see messers be more support oriented.

[@Kyosika]

I hope so too! Mesmers are awesome!!

[@DeTofuKing]

I am going to try this game out today. I had no idea what I wanted to play, so I thank you for this video. I think I want to give a thief a shot. Never played a thief/ rogue before in an MMO so I’m nervous, but with the expansions I can become a dead eye and that looked cool. I will have to watch more of your videos now. Thank you again for the video.

[@Kyosika]

You got it Tofu! How is the Thief? :)

[@Oliverph0enix]

Bro didn't lie when he said drop a comment I always answer them

[@Kyosika]

Hahaha, I've doing it since the starts. So Yeah! 😜

[@valence_drive]

No frills, tells you what you need to know, includes every detail needed to make a decision. Extremely nice work, man~! Recently got back into GW2 after hearing news of its most recent expansion coming up & its apparent uptick in popularity lately. Needed a video like this.

[@Kyosika]

Glad it helped!

[@imyuzuki1604]

Returning player from before any expansions so im looking forward to the elite specs!

[@Kyosika]

Oh yes! You're going to enjoy this one! :)

[@asioluna1473]

Great video! Awesome work. For all new players who want try out game - try that proffesion what you really want and don't worry if it would not fit you at the end cause you can always try out new one. Gw2 have so much different playstyles and you find your best one.

[@Kyosika]

I agree! Choose what you like, everything works!

[@tomognb8429]

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]

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]

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]

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!

[@BattlePro3]

Thanks for the video mate. A friend of mine and I both got into gw2 recently (even tho I tried it a year ago and bought the expansion in the thought id play it more, which I didnt). I came back and decided to start a new character to get back in from beginning to end but didnt know what class or something. This helped me a lot. Greetings from a fellow Dutchie, I heard the accent and its the same I have when I speak English :)

[@Kyosika]

Geen probleem! Tof dat je de video leuk vond! :)

[@Kyosika]

What is your favorite Profession and Elite Specialization? 🔥

[@reesehawk2106]

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. As you can see, this is why I come to these videos xD

[@etZZeUs]

At the moment: specter. Never really played thief. And the condi meta build is not that hard to play.

[@musichaven7598]

I'm an elementalist as always bro =D Anyways, I'm currently using reaper in pvp and yesterday, someone pm'ed me to not join rank if I'm using reaper coz its weak. 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... :(

[@papajek12]

Engi and Mesmer and ele…. and necro…. I think you know what I’m coming to 😅

[@rcket6057]

Bladesworn was all I hoped for an End of Dragons elite spec. But the Vindicator surprised me too. So those are my two mains atm

[@2qrank]

[@Kyosika]

No problem! Glad it helped :) 👍

I feel you hahaha! They should have a universal name for it!

[@scollins44]

Strong work in this introductory video 💪

[@TiroDvD]

If an Elite doesn't feel strong or useful it is probably better for a different game mode. There's open world, Map METAs, PvP, WvW, 5 man content, and 10 man content.

[@Kyosika]

That's true!!

[@SheenaMalfoy]

Alternatively, it's built for a different gear set. Trying to play Scourge as a power build is just flat out a bad idea. But condi damage or as a support hybrid? Now that's where it truly shines.

been very casual in this since it launched and only recently started to really look back into it for its Hybrid style combat. I've dabbled in every MMO out there it seems and love a lot of things about many, and hate just as many things about all haha! GW2 has its issues for me but, since I'm very much looking forward to Ashes of Creation I've decided to do some research and play other games that have hybrid combat. GW2 comes up a lot in discussions of how AoC is going to play. And with the last few dev updates from Intrepid you can really see the GW2 influence in there. This video has been incredibly helpful and informative on helping me pick a class and playstyle I want to try for fun and research :) Awesome job dude! You have a new subscriber here :D

[@Kyosika]

Thank you so much Omega! I'm too looking forward to AoC but I'm still not too impressed with the graphics and I think the game is still a few years away from actually releasing! I wonder how it is going to turn out!

[@donkexi]

Amazing video :)! So much easier to choose profession as a new player - Thank You So Much!

[@Kyosika]

Glad you liked it!

[@HollowLeon]

Just gotta say… the production value on this video is crazy good. I also, basically, agree 100% with your analysis here. From beginner, intermediate, hard classification and the quick break down of the classes- 10/10! 🤙🏼

[@Kyosika]

Thank you so much Leon! It took me agesssss to make! I had to take a break of content creation after I was done.

[@luisrizzardi3611]

This is a work of art! Thank you for taking the time!

[@Kyosika]

Thank you very much!

[@jonathanbernardi4306]

Well, this was really helpful, even more because I'm lost lol Thanks man, you got a new sub.

[@Kyosika]

Thanks for the sub! Take your time, you never make the wrong choices in GW2!

[@Alazian]

I am just returning from years and years away, this video is super helpful for me to find out what changed and what's new! Thanks!

[@Kyosika]

You're so welcome!

[@division2232]

After watching this video, I cant decide now what to play🤣 good video, great job. Best class explanation video on youtube!

[@Kyosika]

Glad you enjoyed it! Try some of them out and see which ones you like best!

[@electron415]

Bro, that EXACTLY the video i searched for, THANKS

[@Kyosika]

No problem 👍

[@ThrottleFox]

This is one of the best class guides I've seen

[@Kyosika]

Thank you!!!

[@mikalacummings1317]

Thank you for taking the time to post/make this video.. Makes a lot more sense as a newbie!

[@Kyosika]

You're so welcome!

[@dalebrimhall1071]

Fantastic video, been playing as a thief and Mesmer but didn't realize how much was going on with all the other classes. Thank you so much for the breakdown.

[@Kyosika]

No worries! Glad it helped!

[@vincentvon1470]

Friend told me about this, so i figured i would give the game a look. Thanks for doing this guide to classes. I have the tendency to pick complicated classes, so i think i am going with the elementalist. Looks fun with massive range of utility. Sounds good to me.

[@Kyosika]

It sure is! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! 😁

[@littlekong7685]

If you love the challenge, core Engineer can be insane to play. There was an old joke in PvP that to master the Engineer all you had to do was be able to play 3 pianos at once. But most optimized builds did ask for 500-600 apm, minimum, but rewarded players with being untouchable damage bombs that could wipe entire teams untouched. For casual build, the kits give you so much flexibility in the open world to switch your style without slowing down.

[@Malsiv]

As a brand new player, this information is amazing. Somewhat overwhelming... but amazing. Well done.

[@Kyosika]

Thank you! Did you manage to choose a profession?

[@Malsiv]

I'm down to 3... Ranger seems very chill with a pet, thief follows my normal playstyle, mesmer is an interesting option as it feels kinda unique. We'll see.

[@gailbrookhart1777]

Glad this video made it back. It's a very good resource. Even after 5 years in game, this video still gave me new information and helped me sharpen my skills.

[@Kyosika]

Happy to have it back and receive comments like this. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Kyroshi]

Yes thanks man. Exactly the video I was searching for

[@Kyosika]

Glad to help!

[@dwuangraysr4408]

Great vid! New player here from wow. Gw2 has a lot to offer. Me and my wife love playing this together. It's just so much to do!

[@Kyosika]

Glad you enjoy it! Have fun and good luck!

[@MarcelloLins]

Arena Net should use this video as their official class guide tbh. I've been playing the game for 9 years, in and out, and this is by far the best guide to all classes in the game!

[@Kyosika]

Thank you so much Marcello! Comments like this really encourage me to create more content!

[@dilqnivanov9149]

great video, from what have you showcased i feel like the vindicator and mesmer in general are going to be my next character! thanks for the well structured video!

[@Kyosika]

Good choice and good luck! Thanks! How did you like those so far?

[@Aei934]

When you said "Leave a comment. I ALWAYS answer them.", I thought, there's no way. You really do answer to them all. Nicely done!

[@Kyosika]

I do answer them! A little later nowadays but I always answer!

[@michaelkox8647]

Hello, this was a very nicely made video of all the professions and their abilities. i been playin gw2 10 years and main necro. right now enjoyin the scourge plaguedoctors

[@Kyosika]

Sounds great! Good luck! :D

[@aephemerial-tv]

Finding this video as a new player to GW2 and I could say its packed with valuable information. Thanks a bunch!

[@Kyosika]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@racen9826]

I just got conviced to create an account and play Guild Wars 2. Your video was exactly what I was looking for to get an overview of all the possible classes.

[@Kyosika]

Glad it helped :D

[@vladimirpeace-kun2084]

Great video! You are so good at selling these professions that now it's even harder to choose.

[@Kyosika]

Hahahaha, I'm glad you like the video! Make sure to try them all if you can! :)

[@moisttoast9834]

Just got back into the game this week and being away for so long trying to think ahead to what I’d want to specialize in made me reroll to a mesmer thanks to the video. Might not be meta but seems to be pretty fun so far. Appreciate the video and the time it took to make it. New sub here. Thanks again.

[@Kyosika]

Welcome back! Don't worry too much about the meta, play whatever you like!

[@Markye_Takamoto]

Welp, my first class was a thief. Still my main. Was not the easiest of starts... worth it tho! Phenomenal vid \o/

[@Kyosika]

As long as you enjoy it, it is the best pick!

[@SunsetDecay]

THanks, great video! Just came back to the game and this immensely helps me to figure out which profession I want to focus on first.

[@Kyosika]

Glad I could help! Good luck! :D What are you picking? :)

[@SunsetDecay]

@@Kyosika Unlocking all elite specs for my guardian since she is already lvl 80 and next is mesmer or necromancer

[@Sachnix]

I generally dislike any sentiment of "new players should pick easy classes" in any mmo, so I appreciate that you always pointed out that its completey fine to start out with "difficult" classes. If you find a class you enjoy the playstile of, it really doesnt matter if its an "easy" or "difficult" class. Yes some parts of the game might be more challenging, but if youre having fun with the challenge, then thats all that matters. Dont go picking a class the playstile of which makes you fall asleep just bc some people say its "easier to level".

[@Kyosika]

Exactly! Don't let me limit what you want to play. I started to play as an Elementalist which I consider a harder class and I still enjoy it very much. However, there are players that want an easy to class to start with so therefore, I created the list at the start.

[@Kerbezena]

So happy this video is back! 🎉

[@Kyosika]

Me too! I don't know how it happend but it's back! Already had a revised video at the ready just in case.

[@silli9]

I watch this video everytime i make a new character, just to see what looks fun Thanks for this video its well made and informative Keep it up man❤

[@kirasternenfeuer6198]

Hmm good nutshell explaination however speaking of the Engineer I missed a brief comment about how the kits work as it is basically the main gamechanger and the resaon this profession has no in combat weapon swap! Kits grand you basically a different weaponset with 5 new skills thats why an engineer has the highest amount of possible skills available of all professions and the kits are providing each an alternate playstyle with bombs beeing basically a close combat aoe, grenades and flamethrower for close to midrange aoe, controleffects and damage over time, elixier gun for an more suportive condition mix, Mortarkit for long range attacks and combofiels and the Medikit for a range of heal and supportskills without damage. this allows basically for a maximum of 5 weapon skills, up to 25 kitskills and additional 5 toolbelt skills on top so 35 total skills at max! And yes you can argue that because of how the atunement works a elementalist is able to surpass this amount of skills (you basically can summon weapons with additional weapon skills and some of the utilityskills have different effects based on the atunement so could be counted double, however summoning weapons is not really helpfull if you stil want to use youre normal weapon skills as you have to pick them up from the ground in case there are stil versions left. because of how easy you can use kits in combat I would furthermore argue that the engineer is an extremly easy beginner class for pve but way harder to master because of all the amount of skills to considder. For mesmer a brief comment to the portal would have been worth a mention. While some clases are more melee oriented you should add that Warrior stil can use both rifle and Long bow while melee ranger is also quite common this is different than a mesmer, elementalist or necromancer for example which stay on range attacks even with close combat weapons while only there range might be affected.

[@Kyosika]

Thanks for your addition! I tried to cover the most but I wanted to keep everything short and concise :)

[@icyiluzionist9781]

great video bro, you sure did make a quality explanation of all the classes

[@Kyosika]

Amaaaaziinnggg comment! Thank you so much!
