Ranger is still basically bottom or second from bottom, ele will have moved closer to the top, engi is above necro.

Ranger’s moved up, thief should be above mesmer. Think you just missed that one entirely. Ele and engi aren’t doing so bad. Guardian is balanced, as always. Not sure about necro. They can be strong, and sometimes they aren’t. For them, it’s player-to-player. Probably means balanced, maybe not?

Well, that’s all I can say.

I don’t know if it’s possible to give a straight up 1 to 8 list, but in pvp this is pretty much it:
A tier:
Ele
Engi

B tier:
everyone else

in pve the list looks like this:
S tier:
elementalist (the damage is absurd)
A tier:
Thief
Warrior
Guardian
Engineer
B tier:
Ranger
Mesmer
C tier:
necro

As for wvw, every class has viable roaming builds because that is very skill based. Every class is viable in a pug zerg because no one cares. Other than that it is still the Guardian, Warrior, Elementalist, Necromancer (GWEN) meta, with a mesmser or two and maybe a few of the other classes depending on the group.

Overall, pvp is pretty balanced.

Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.

Gold Tier) Ele is in a tier all its own. Then Engi…

Silver Tier) Shatter mesmer and thief… their damage is still off the charts but they have weaknesses…

Bronze Tier) Then everyone else. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

I had a mate tell me how Ranger was such a great counter to Ele. Next day I get a message whinging that he can’t move their health bar. I had a good laugh.

We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional

Anet lied (where’s the Manifesto now?)

In WvW, which is mostly all I do…

Gold: (roamers)
D/D Ele, Shatter Mesmer, condi thief,

Silver: (zergers)
Hammer train, Guards, warriors, engineers, staff eles, longbow rangers

Bronze (pugs)
Wannabes, mesmers, engineers, condi guards, and other various weirdos using specs considered to be full of fail.

necros

The only way to play the engineer is to exploit it.
Playing the engineer “as intended” is simply not viable.
