Fantasy MMORPG PvE Raids Guilds

In Guild Wars 2, the "easiest" class (profession) depends on your playstyle, but some are more beginner-friendly due to straightforward mechanics, high survivability, or simple rotations. Here are the top picks for new or casual players: Necromancer (Reaper / Scourge / Harbinger) - Why? High health pool, strong passive survivability (Death Shroud acts as a second health bar), and minions that tank for you. - Best Elite Specs: - Reaper (Greatsword melee, easy AoE damage) - Scourge (Ranged, barrier support, great in groups) - Harbinger (Condition damage, but squishier) - Best for: Open World, Solo Play, PvE. Ranger (Druid / Soulbeast / Untamed) - Why? Pets tank enemies, ranged options (Longbow), and strong self-healing. - Best Elite Specs: - Soulbeast (Merges with pet for high damage) - Druid (Support/healer, great in groups) - Best for: Solo, Open World, Raids/Fractals (as healer). Warrior (Berserker / Spellbreaker / Bladesworn) - Why? High base health, simple weapon rotations, and strong burst damage. - Best Elite Specs: - Berserker (Big damage, easy-to-understand burst) - Spellbreaker (Good in PvP/WvW, counters enemies) - Best for: Melee combat, Open World, PvP. Guardian (Firebrand / Dragonhunter / Willbender) - Why? Balanced offense/defense, strong passive defenses (Aegis blocks attacks), and easy support options. - Best Elite Specs: - Firebrand (Top-tier support, easy condition damage) - Dragonhunter (Simple burst DPS with traps) - Best for: All content (PvE, WvW, Raids). Revenant (Herald / Renegade / Vindicator) - Why? Pre-built skill rotations (Legends), high survivability, and strong group support. - Best Elite Specs: - Herald (Easy boon support, great for beginners) - Renegade (Strong condition damage & alacrity support) - Best for: Group content, WvW. Which is the Absolute Easiest? Necromancer (Reaper or Scourge) is often considered the easiest because of its high survivability and forgiving mechanics. Ranger (Soulbeast) is a close second due to pet tanking. Avoid If You Want Easy Mode: Elementalist (Weaver/Tempest) Complex rotations, squishy. Engineer (Mechanist is easy, but others are complex) Kit management can be overwhelming. Mesmer (Virtuoso is simpler, but others require setup) Illusions can be tricky for new players. Final Recommendation: For Solo/Open World: Necromancer (Reaper) or Ranger (Soulbeast). For Group Content:* Guardian (Firebrand) or Revenant (Herald). Would you like a specific build for any of these?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
