I am starting to get bored of GW2 so I want to take a break. But whats some good nonsub based MMOs the come close to GW2?
I was thinking about rejoining Rift, but cant stand the leveling grind there.
any other options?

I'd say dabble on a different genre. When I get bored and need a break in GW2, I play CS:GO until I get bored with that. It still has the multiplayer aspect of it and satiates my competitive craving--but I can't, for the life of me, do MOBAs.
Still playing through Mod3 of Neverwinter. It's got the same reduced skill set as GW2 but does this surprisingly well. I'd say it has one of the best combat mechanics out of the recent set of action mmo's.
Now of course being a Perfect World game there's a couple of caveats here:
1. Cash shop - there are two options to get some of the better items. Burn your bank account on the game, or grind it for ages. This game does heavily favour those who throw money at it.
2. Game performance can vary depending where you are. No eu located server, and the eu proxy is pretty hopeless.
That said, it's a game you can just dive into. Try it for a few zones and see how you go.

I'm in the same boat as you buddy lol.
Got a lvl 80 ele, thief and guardian did crazy amounts of WvW and dungeons but im bored of it. I cant go back to tab targeting combat but I can't play wildstar either because I'm a grown ass man and I can't play a game that visually looks like spongue bob square pants meets Ratchet and Clank on ps3 lol
TSW is a unique experience if you like story driven mmo and that kind of theme (the envoriment and storys are amazing).
leave few months ago, dont know how it is atm, i bealive its B2P.
Completed all the maps DLCs and investigations in under 2 months. I don't know what you are doing
TSW maybe? It is rather different which is important when you take a break.
That really both depends on how much you play and how you play. But OP wanted a break anyways, not a game that would last him years so TSW is still a good choice.
Agree 100%, don't let any hater/s put you off. Try this game, I believe you will enjoy it.
TSW is good game - but it has one of the worst combat systems in history of video games.
Its so bad that it ruins everything else in the game.
F2P game that I found suprisingly good is Neverwinter.
Combat system is as it goes for twitch systems in MMOs , probably best one. And the game story is actually very good.
If you like D&D or Faerun - well its even better.
you can pay for your Wildstar sub with in game currency as well, (CREDD system) so it is possible to play it for 'free' - barring the initial purchase of course.
TERA maybe? It is not that unlike GW2 in combat (at least compared to Rift) and should be good for a break at least. Very pretty but the quests tend to be somewhat grindy and uninspired.
There is always Neverwinter even though it so called "action based combat" frustrated me personally since it felt so slow and boring compared to GW2s.
TSW is a bit different but if you havn't tried it and could think yourself something other than fantasy it is my top suggestion.
Check out Divinity Original Sin.
Not an MMORPGG but it has co-op option. Releases on the 30th.
