Hello - I'm relatively new to GW2 but not to MMORPG as a whole. I have experienced playing asian mmo as I am in SEA. This will be the first time I'll be playing something from the west.
I enjoy Mage archetype pretty well. Amongst it's sub-type, generic fire & ice mages are something that I do not enjoy. In my previous experience, I played a solo capable mage who shifts focus into a supportive one when group content is required.
I did a quick reading regarding the base classes but I'm relatively confused because the weaponization system is very new to me.
I'm hoping to identify choices that would fit the following characteristics
Aesthetical/thematical magical inclination
Unusual magic types e.g. arcane, light, curse, enchantments, psychic. etc.
Can solo contents, but is supportive in its core. Offensive, Defensive, and protective supports are all welcome.
Important* | Reading through the elementalist class confounded me massively. I'm hoping for something that has low/moderate skill requirements in both learning and mastery. GW2 will be my escape, not an additional job.
I give my thanks in advance for any inputs/advice that will be provided.
Wishing you, reader, a great day.
