Guild Wars 2

What builds seem viable/meta for soloing dungeons/champs etc? I’ve tried necro and engi and am either playing it wrong with the wrong build or just suck as I get trucked instantly90% of the time.

Is it literally engi and necro condi > rest?

I think thief and warriors do well never soloed dungeons tho

I don’t see why a lot of other professions can’t be right up there with Engi, but yeah condi reaper is silly easy. Check out the old solo stuff, Purple Miku’s youtube channel might be a good start, lots of War and Ele solo play that should really have only gotten easier with the HOT additions.

Thief I used to take into CM and just slot Invigorating precision and outside of a few other skills it was just facetanking with some pistol whips on big attacks, doesn’t get much easier than that.

Ah yes I’ve heard daredevils are great if you can predict the dodges. What is it that makes condi reaper so good? Afaik the damage isn’t great and you rely on the pets to tak? I could be wildly wrong here. I struggled soloing an elite in heart of maguuma hahaha

Basically you have pets taking the damage most of the time, they’ll pull agro off you, but also body block a lot of projectiles that would have hit you. They then also pull conditions off you and push them to the target, so condi’s don’t concern you. Then you get healing from the condi damage you do. And just to top it all off you have Shroud which you can pop to absorb a big hit if you need. Just a few highlights but there’s more, like plenty of CC to break bars.

I just got back to the game a few weeks ago after a long break, and I didn’t realize just how rusty I was at dodging until I played something other than Reaper as I’m able to just brush off most any attack on reaper.
