Thoughts about alt characters

[Ismene (Quirk)]

I'm very fond of Fribble and will most likely always consider her my main, but lately I've been playing alts and thinking about what we might need in the future if we ever really take a crack at raiding. I know the answer is most likely "play what's fun!" (which is one of the big reasons I like this guild so much), but is there anything we have a dearth of that we might need in the future? Part of the fun for me is knowing that I can pull my weight and contribute where and if needed

For example I have both a mesmer and a revenant that I enjoy playing (although the revenant I have to admit is extremely fun - kitted out with sword and axe, everything dies really fast!). Does anyone have any thoughts on which might be more useful than the other, or does it not really matter?

Considering we still need to PUG dungeon and fractal runs frequently, I don't think we have enough people to estimate what kind of roles will be needed for 10 man raids.

That said, my advice would be to take the classes that you enjoy playing the most and then go to MetaBattle and see which of those classes have the highest ratings in various roles. If there is a class you enjoy and has a high rating in one or two areas, that gives you some nice flexibility for grouped content and perhaps a direction as to where you might want to go.

Thank you for another good site that I did not know about! Very useful

So this maybe far down the line BUT it's still something good to think about. This goes for anybody but when we are able to get into doing raids, we won't be able to take multiple of the same class, it just doesn't work like that especially in this game. Each class brings something special to the table, some more valuable then others. Being that we'd like to bring a multitude of class to this kind of large group events. Right now dungeons and Fractals really don't matter for what we bring, just have fun. But it's key to keep in mind what the end game goal will be about.
