Can someone give me the rundown on the melee clases in this game in a little more detail?

Like I like the idea of a Warrior in games like this because I love staying alive to call targets in PVP and I love tanking PVE content, but if it's painful to level and otherwise awful in PVP, I'm just going to go with a ranged class. Having said that, what is the most survivable ranged class?

all classes can survive for around 30-45 seconds in a 1v1 in straight fights, in zergs(gvgs)...it varies...from instant death- survive all day long really.

Id either pick a ranger and sit up on a cliff with the rest directing the battlefield from there, or you could run a GW2 hamwarball and just have solid group of warriors/mages with the mages healing and calling out specific dodges and blocks on the warriors. it really depends on how organized you expect your group to be, or to be able to respond to your commands correctly.

Honestly...id go for a mageballzerg if i just wanted simple gooncapable strats(even the littlest bee can at least follow that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfv1QtZDirY)

edit: sorry for doublepost whoops.

Or you can just get free VPN to Russia and make an account there for free - patch to English and play.
I guess I should write a follow-up here - http://incloak.com/vpn/ this is a Russian VPN service that gives you 24 hour unlimited trial, so you can just get those as soon as you run out, provided you get a new e-mail account for each of them. Alternatively, off their Russian page ( http://hideme.ru/order/vpn/ ) you can just get a month of it for $4.5. I'm currently just chain-trialling to play on Russia. There should be instructions for English patch on reddit, but I didn't care to look up those since I know Russian.

As far as PvP goes, ranged classes are all squishy, and you generally are over once you are hit twice or so. Most survivable ranged class hence should be Ranger or Sorceress/Tamer - only Ninja can chase down Ranger, and both Sorceress and Tamer are invulnerable during combat movement.

As to melee classes we are having at launch - Valkyrie is real slow and tanky; good solo PvP class with emphasis on crowd control. Warrior is [more] mobile short-range Valkyrie; good solo PvP class with mix of damage and crowd control. Berserker is slow and tanky mass PvP crowd controller. Tanking in PvE does not really exist like it does in other games. Besides that, I think Valkyrie is the only class with taunt abilities. In PvE (farm) both Valkyrie and Warrior can be awkward, unlike Berserker.

Okay, thanks for that. I basically helped lead Yak's Bend from the dregs in GW2 to Tier 1 by forming my death ball around my warrior and just smashing them into enemy zergs. So that's probably what I'll do here too. I imagine melee gear scales sufficiently to be able to have some fun in PVE once I have some decent items.

Pretending WvW in gw2 wasn´t anything but a game about time zone coverage is basically a joke

PvE on Warrior is ok, just have to wait until level 37 when you get your bread and butter farm button, Scars of Dusk (at 0:30 the red skill).

Nothing actually. It's just that the combat system is fun, and some of the secondary system in the game are fun. We're all hoping that some kinda of neat PVP might happen. I'm probably gonna go red because I won't be playing this after a month anyway and if I am it'll remind me of the time that I killed a main town guard in Vanguard which required thousands of kills to revert being KoS in every major town.

I don't know how i feel about paladins, doesn't have the "magic/fun/speshul sumthin" that smite had during it's beta.
