I don't think Rangers can stealth.

That said, torn between Thief, Ranger, and Engineer. happy

At least thieves in GW2 use stealth in a more tactical manner than most MMOs. They don't have the traditional super hard hitting stealth openers that lets them spike someone down inside of a stunlock. grin

Mesmers have some short stealths at least.


http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1216828p1.html
Smoke Screen + Stomp = Cloaks for Everyone!

Professions: Thief, Warrior
"This is one of my favorite combos. You take a thief, who uses his/her Smoke Screen skill to create a smoke field. Then a warrior comes along and blasts the smoke with a Stomp, adding Stealth to nearby allies by cloaking them in gloom. It's a very cool effect, and it comes in handy in combat."
-Ben Miller, Game Designer

And Warriors (and likely some others too) can cause an AOE stealth by comboing an ability with a Thief's smoke screen. grin

Engineer (with Elixer Gun), Elementalist (while in water attunement), and Guardian (not sure which which setup) will probably be able to come the closest to that. grin

Playing with the Skill Calculator that Fred posted, Engineer can also revive fallen allies it would seem.

Engineer has a skill that implies it might have some kind of stealth with a rifle in hand. If so, that may sway my vote. I LOVED the Engineer in Warhammer. One of my all time favorite classes. Range / Traps / Grenades / Healing / AOE Turrets / Stealth = Win. grin Hope I get into Beta so I can check that out.

Skinny got me to try the engineer in Warhammer and I loved the class.
That said I have zero knowledge of GW. Someone tell me what the hardest class to play is and I will give that a try. If I play at all.

Mesmer seems like it is the most complex; Engineer is probably the second most complex. grin

It is b2p (buy to play), not f2p.

No henchmen/heroes as NPC companions like in GW1. grin

Probably warrior, or ranger.

I always think that oddball classes are going to end up weak, so I am not sure if I want to try an engineer.

Engineer will likely require some skill to do right. It'l be a support class more than straight dps is the feeling i get.

Oh well Engineer it is then. Hope people actually appreciate healers in a game that's build around no one needing a healer.

Glad to hear there are no henchmen in GW2. I hate having to haul a pet around. 90% of my PvE deaths come from terribad pathing or something that fool pet does.

I love the idea of a melee-centric necro. Running in with axe and dagger, chopping away and stealing life. Could work as a decent PBAE bomb character too.

I wonder if you guys have ever considered that maybe why you burn out on games so quickly is because you've already spent months on the game before you've even played.

It's not even in beta yet, and already you are asking about what class people are planning on playing??

The groupthink on GW2 is going to be really bad, possibly worse than TOR.

Nah, I think the burnout comes from crappy games.
