Guild Wars 2

It all boils down to what you bring to the table in your group as a player. If you can execute your class well to the benefit of the team (ie as a thief, stealth rezzing and using smoke screen to your advantage), you can ideally bring just about any class to a dungeon run and it would go fine.

Class order goes something like this in dungeons: Warriors/Guardians/Mesmers, then Elementalist/Necromancer/Thief, Engineer gets it’s own tier, as does Ranger. Each set brings something different to the table and if you can execute it well, then you can play any class in dungeons. You just have to accept that some classes will do a particular job better than others. Thieves won’t hit as hard as warriors, but their mobility and utility makes up for that. Elementalists can’t might stack as well as a guardian for about twice the amount of work, but through managing your attunements you can open up more variety of combo fields for a hammer guardian or thief to take advantage of than the other classes.

It’s all in how you play your class. I main a thief for PvE dungeon play. You’re not useless, you just have to learn how to make yourself useful, which is true of any class.

Nikaido.3457:

Not going to happen anytime soon. They buffed the banners, you’re citing 10% crit damage ? probably didn’t hear that in one of the recent patches, it has been buffed to 15% crit damage. Anet is more likely to try to bring the other classes to the level of the warrior than to nerf something they recently buffed.

It was buffed but anet could have made a mistake and might revert the change to 10%. Why? Because:
a) there are no patch notes about that
b) boon duration is still at 10%
c) during sotg they explicitly said they won’t buff crit dmg and boon duration because it’s already good enough

Also, banners change were mostly due to their horrible state in pvp, no one complained about them in pve.

My perfect party for anything is 4 zerker warriors and me running my guardian with 70%boon build and pure voice.

Even if they nerfed Warrior damage, then what? Another king of DPS arrives.
Perhaps they should improve importance of other mechanics, like conditions, combo-fields, control-skills….

Warriors will never ever be nerfed. (Just look at Guild Wars 1 Warriors were never nerfed) They are the most popular profession by far and no one likes to make customers angry.
