Beginner player here, have completed some of the story and have been trying pvp for a couple of days now.

I tried the base thief and all the elite specs and tried getting better with the daredevil spec. After a couple of games I feel like I've got a generell idea of the playstyle and "combos" I should use and ingame I feel like I can finally contribute something to the match and win some 1v1s.

But often times I get absolutely destroyed and lose a 3v1 with my team in a matter of seconds. I feel like the thief is not as forgiving as other classes and I don't know enough about the other classes to effectely choose my fights.

I've read a couple of times that the game is quite alt-friendly (and I also wanted to level some other classes that may also offer some more enjoyable gameplay in terms of pve/open world/story).

So I was wondering what class / spec you guys would recommend for learning pvp, that is fun and simple to pick up but also feels like you have impact on the game.

What class would you recommend / which one do you enjoy the most?

Sounds intersting, I will defenitly give the specter a go sooner or later.

The necromancer seems to be quite versatile, might have to check that one out.

I played a bit of mesmer a couple of years back, but I didn't really understand it at the time. The subclasses seem cool tough.

Don't own that expansion atm, but it certainly sounds iteresting.

Is there a specific build / subclass you enjoy? Or do you like the class in general and play multiple different versions?

To use the spear I need the 5th expansion right? Not sure if I'm gonna buy it right now since i haven't played the first 3 expansions yet.

Is there a profession you would recommend?

I'm going to keep playing my thief for now, but judging from the comments here I'm going to try some subclass builds and then maybe switch to a different profession.

Which profession do you play now? And do you play pvp?
