Returning player asking for some info

  • Hi !. Have been a while since I stop playing GW and i wanna return playing with the reforged patch. I want to play all the campaign and also try to beat the hard mode and also underworld and fow, using one charcter and heroes also, no pretending to farm too much. Would you recommend me any profesion or class? I was thinking about paragon since i have seen in a video that has te best hero comps, but i don't know really if there is any better class to compelte all the content, including dungeons and all the things GW has to offer.

  • Hi, I think most people would say that you can do all the content with any profession and all have their place in end game content but mes may be easiest to get into speedruns with.

    If you want to play through the campaigns as published, Proph then Factions then NF then EotN its a slightly different calculation than if you want to get heroes as soon as possible (as in PVX beginner team) and build up to a great hero team like Mesmerway.

    Péter Kádár has videos on all professions including the new Which Profession/Class to Choose in Guild Wars Reforged? for New & Returning Players which may help you decide which class you would enjoy most.

    I am sure more people with better knowledge than me will be along to offer advice soon.

    Malice toward none, charity for all, firm in right.

  • I did the same when I returned in spring this year: I created a new charcter (a Mesmer, which I didn't have yet) and grinded LDoA. I assume it will take a bit longer with a Warrior than it took with a Mesmer. The fire imp helps a lot.
    The downside on starting in Prophecies is that playing low levels and small groups drags way too long. I usually skip the jungle and run from LA to ToA and from there to Sanctum Cay.
