I would like to know if you guys know any high survivability focused builds for the squishier classes.
This means any class that isn’t a Guardian/Warrior/Necromancer, because at least for me, these are the kings of survivability.

I really love playing bunker in pvp! or at least being incredibly tanky and hard to kill.
I already love playing Soldier Warrior with hammer & healing shouts, I hardly die and I still do a decent amount of damage. I also enjoy playing as a Guardian or a Necromancer for the same reason, but I have not played anything else in PvE, WvW or PvP besides Thief.

I know that a stealth Thief can be really tricky to kill and very annoying in PvP but I don’t find them as good in PvE.

So I’m wondering if there are any builds for Elementalist, Engineer, Mesmer or Ranger that focus on having really high survivability in either PvE, WvW or PvP.

I am pretty sure that eles can bunker better then any necro build could.

So maybe d/d celestial ele is what you are searching for.

Though i would say going tanky is kinda pointless in pve, well atleast if you dont make any mistakes.

Elementalist with offhand focus… Earth attunement has a 4 second invincibility. (Yes, i said invincibility) There are several other very tanky skills as well…

Necro is after mesmer and thief probably the least tanky class. The fact that you didn’t put engi or ele up there is strange. If you want some survivability go turret engi or staff/dd ele.
