Returning player - Mesmer vs Ranger in Prophecies

  • Hey all,

    I am planning on playing through all the campaigns with a new class, starting in Prophecies. Since I already have every Proph class besides Mesmer and Ranger, I'm gonna roll one of them. I like Ranger more, but read that Ranger sucks in PvE and Mesmer is meta. Since I will probably play with heroes/mercs only, I don't want to screw myself over by picking Ranger. Is it really that bad to go with Ranger over Mesmer? Does Ranger really suck that hard in PvE content?

    Thanks in advance

    Both professions are very nice in PvE. Ranger is OP as daggerspam, and mesmer just is doing a good amount of dmg and has lots of control depending on the build ofc. But most of the time best is just to go pure dmg and enemies will fall like dominos. So you cannot go wrong with any of those 2.


    PS: i love :cookie:. Well who doesnt?

  • I need ironwomen friends :) can I join you?

    I don't plan on doing Ironman, just casual play here and there, sorry!
