Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

Which class(es) and set-up(s) can generate most consistent and sustained (soft and hard) CC?

Or, if I just want fully dedicated CC character, which class(es) and setup(s) should I go for?

Many thanks!!

Every one of the professions can output a ridiculous amount of CC if you are focused on it. I guess guardian and ele are slightly behind the others, but they still have plenty. Just look up the skills of your favorite profession on the wiki and take all of them.

In pve fractals 50 for example, I just use my engi net turret rifle net shot spam, linked with mortar chill aoe and chill grenades. Haha it usually works pretty well with some of the mobile bosses. Like mossman, or the 1st and last boss of the archdiviner, or the ice shaman dude at the end of the ice core fractal. It’s a pretty good soft cc class IMO for immobilising enemies you don’t want running around:D

Blind, Weakness, Chill, Cripple, Immobilize, Daze, Stun, Push, Pull, Knockback, Slow, Taunt… There is a lot of CC.

Warrior has a lot of cc through its various weapons.

MACE/(shield or mace) & Hammer warrior with kick, stomp, charge and rampage..?

comes in mind…

• 3 on mace/shield or 3 on mace/mace
• 3 on hammer
• 3 on utility skills
• 3 on rampage?

a variety of knockbacks, knockdowns, dazes, stuns and so on… you could get some immobs maybe with skills that cripple… but I’d prefer this..

Definitely engie.
You can specifically make a build to have multiple cc available all the time.
Like a rifle+traited healing turret+flamethrower+nades+toolkit+crate/mortar. Every one of these slots have 1 or more cc tools.
The new scrapper can give you multiple traited dazes too.
