I'm actually eying a Human Human Revenant, I'm liking the class so far. Don’t know if I’d say I’m new. I currently play WoW so I already have an idea on how this game is. If anything it’s just learning what spells I have and/or which build works for me. @Waffels.9748 said:I don't know if I would say any one class is easier then another. All classes have set skill/abilities that are already assigned a key. It's more of what play style do you like (Dps ranged or melee, healing or tanking and what's easier for you as a player to manage. Based on this I think you should definitely level at least 1 character normally before using the boost. This is not WoW and while there are of course similarities there are also a lot of important ways it's quite different from WoW. For a start there is no such thing as a ranged or melee profession or a healer or tank profession, they can all do all of those things and more. (Also healer and tank aren't really roles in GW2, support is more about providing a range of boons and area effects based on the current situation, that's why you'll likely have noticed there are no targeted healing skills and no taunt skills.) There's other important differences too, like how gear and stats work, the best sources of XP, the different game modes available and the long-term goals within them. Plus more subtle things like the effects of down-levelling and diminishing returns. Most importantly there's the near-complete lack of a clear path for 'progression' once you get to level 80. Expecting this game to play just like WoW is one of the more common reasons I see new players get confused or stuck.You might be right about leveling at least 1 character first. I'm already finding out that I'm needing to farm XP in lower level area just to keep up with quest levels.

Don’t know if I’d say I’m new. I currently play WoW so I already have an idea on how this game is. If anything it’s just learning what spells I have and/or which build works for me. I think the reason people advise against using the boost, at least on a profession you haven't already leveled to 80 before previously, is because they strongly suggest you get used to/comfortable with that class first....so even if you're familiar with GW2 on an Elementalist as an example, they'd recommend you not use a level 80 boost on an Engineer. I feel like a good middle ground is boosting a "straightforward" class (or at least straightforward for Core content) - and even then initially only doing that to unlock quality of life stuff like the Mount (since once it's unlocked you can use it on any character) and maybe the Glider if you don't find it too painful doing Verdant Brink while unfamiliar. If I ask people in the community which professions are the easiest to get the hang of, they either say Warrior or Necromancer (Core Necro anyway)....based on that, I boosted a Warrior (as my main is a Necro) just to mess around in level 80 content between progressing my main.

Apologies if I came across as sounding like some are easier than others....I more meant that the general consensus is that some are more intuitive than others, while some take more time to get into the groove with.True, but I'm also sure those are also players playing an MMORPG for the first time.

I upgraded my GW2 account and got the free level boost. With that being said, with everything (Spells/Etc) already set in-game, is it worth using it right away on the character of my choice or should I hold off and try each class/profession?
