Played release, got to 80 on an engi, and was bored. Not with the game itself, but my guild was shitty (some JSP guild actually) and my RL friends all were under lvl 40 and then stopped.

Looking to relevel a new character. Im thinking I would like the ranger, but how much micro management is the pet? I want to pvp in the big realm vs realm action, and i like to go around getting into 1v1's and small skirmishes. From what i saw the longbow/2hand sword is a good option, but idk the pet part.

Warrior i dont really like, and thief may be an option with shortbow, but idk...

talk to me guys! I need pvp advice.

On a general question, hows gearing? Are the super legendaries still incredibly hard to get and take months to work at?


Side note, one thing i never understood was how weapons work in this game. You get a weapon that does X - Y damage, but then your skills have damage all over the place. Is there a site that has a breakdown on how weapons translate to skill damage?

Guardian, ele, thief, and ranger are all good for roaming. Warr too but since you don't like it didn't list.
As for zerg, guard, ele, warr, and necr are the norm. Some use rangers for commander snipe, but that's all they are good for in zergs.

S/d alone on thief is going to get destroyed (gotta play with a team to roam). D/p (power build) or p/d (condi build) are the norms for solo roaming. Can do d/d but that's hard to pick up and master for starting.

When I came back after a hiatus I leveled a guardian and I'm still playing, so much so that I'm close to crafting twilight
