What class is the best...

[Burba]

If you give it to a six year old who just puts cool looking pictures on the ability bar and hits buttons at random? What class fails the least hard when played badly?

Ranger with longbow is the considered the best class amongst pro players.

Read the whole post, not just the clickbait title ^^

Okay you got me there, but i still think this applies. Just let the little noob stick to range pew pew where he is less likely to get focused plus the pet will do the tanking. Works even better with more experienced melee teammates for kiting and support e.g. guards for blocks or thiefs for invis. Ofc you can also try to keep a bad melee player alive with full support builds but i would not waste my time on that.

Necromancer or Guardian, if you own EoD Mechanist for Engineer is very strong and one of the easiest classes to play.

At the moment I'd say Engineer's elite spec Mechanist and Mesmer's elite spec Virtuoso are best DPS low effort specs.

I want a class hard to master but very satisfying to play, any suggestion ?
no, im not a newbie to mmos, but to guild wars 2 yes !
most of the time when i play a class its a glass canon like mage or sorceress
the more complex to master & play, the more i luv it ^_^

Most likely any Elementalist build will be for you, specifically Weaver elite spec, also Condition Mirage (Mesmer) is not easy to play. And new Ranger's elite spec Untamed is for piano players due ridiculous cooldown reduction and button mashing

If you have all expansions, Mechanist is easiest. If no, It is similar between Guardian, and Necromancer classes.

a six year old should not play video games at all, he/she should be outside with friends and learn to socialize.....

Elementalist isn't just a skill issue. It's a team issue, if you're in a pug with people that don't know how to play, you can't draw the full power of the elementalist (the catalyst is a good example of this). And it's kind of the same for a mirage.

At it's core, GW2 is like GW, the gameplay is very team like, builds should be though with your teammates in considerations and how you can synergize.

I think they already have parents.

You could say same about almost any class, including most braindead chaos Virtu that relies on positioning and regen uptime.

I listed classes that are hardest to master on their own, to answer the question that was asked.

Yeah but some have a very big gap compared to others. Like you can function pretty well as a scourge, mechnist, firebrand even if your team is bad (as a scourge you can even carry some of them, and you don't really need to play that well to do that). But with an elementalist, even if you're good and mastered your class, if no one is following, you're dead.

I gather this question to basically be: "How can I be OP with as little effort as possible?"

My Answer: Reaper Necromancer.

I would recommend a class with minions bc it diverts the pressure from you health bar onto them. There are several classes you can choose from.
Necromancer played as a minionmancer or Ranger which is always accompanied by their pet. There are other classes like those mentioned above, which are or can be very sturdy. But in my opinion it is even easier to not get hit in the first place. At least in the first week of playing the game.

Mechanist, everything is passive and your mecha does everything. You only need to redeploy it IF he gets destroyed.
