Guild Wars 2

Looking for suggestions for World Bosses. Please list class and setup with your reasoning.

Thanks in advance!

Ranger, full zerker gear, Longbow.

Reason? Easiest class to do them on, with a 1500 ranged weapon capable of some pretty high damage, it’s very relaxed and simple to pull off.

The pet you want a ranged option, so pick one of those.
For the second pet, either a jaguar or drake, Jaguar for more damage, drake for fairly decent damage with a bit of survivability.

Heals entirely up to you, I’d go with healing spring just to throw out a bit of support (Currently bugged, doesn’t heal the pet)
Utilities, I’d say frost spirit and signet of the hunt, the third one can be entirely up to you.
Elite is rampage, the others aren’t worth it for world bosses.

Traits are pretty self explanitory, just go for whatever boosts damage.

Sorry

Actually, I like to use all my 80s and move their camp around from boss to boss to try out some different things and keep it fresh. Sometimes I learn things about the classes I never knew.

Any really. Just make a power build, dont even need to go zerk, in fact I wouldnt, you’ll just die more and occasionally miss the loot. Go power with some zerk, some knights, some valk gear. You will tag great and get a ton of loot while having at least some utility / survivability beyond your dodge.

Tongku.5326:

Say what?

Outside of Triple Trouble and Teq, deaths at a boss should ultra-rare occurances, regardless of gear. If not, there may be an L2P issue. During those rare occurances where death does occur at a world boss event, the boss chest will still up for fairly long period of time, allowing you to loot it once the nearby players rez you, or in the worst case, you run from a nearby waypoint. Also, this doesn’t affect the bonus (aka bouncy) chest – you get those even if you’re taking a dirt nap.

Reasons for missing loot includes failing to tag the boss before the event ends (mostly only a problem for people arriving way too late), disconnects or the infrequent glitches that sometimes cause people to not get credit for a boss event. None of those are dependent on gear stats.

So have no fear about wearing zerk gear to a boss fight.

Depends on your definition of “best”.
If you wanna be most helpful and actually do something to the boss, go fullzerk staff ele. Since there are usually multiple spots to hit, ele deals a whole ton of damage. Another option would possibly be a guardian. Not nearly as much damage, but you might save the people around that don’t bother doding (99% of them) with your stability/blocks.
If by “best” you mean most cheezy for you, just roll a pew pew ranger, toggle AA and you can go AFK. Return in 10 minutes and collect the chest.

Don’t expect much difference between the two options, you’re just one person out of a huge mass. However, if a significant amount of people go with the non-cheezy way, you will see a difference.
