Class Tiers
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘tiers’, and I assume you mean professions for classes.
Elementalist, Mesmer and Necromancer are Light Armor. Ranger, Thief and Engineer are Medium Armor. Warrior, Guardian and the forthcoming Revenant are Heavy Armor.
That’s the only ‘tiers’ I can guess you are referring to.
Welcome return, and good luck!
If you mean by how good they currently are, you will need to specify a game-type.
Well i am interested in both pvp and pve (wvwvw kills my little toaster i use in order to play). For example i remember Warriors were god mode. I would read the patch notes but i am away from the game for over 1.5 year..
it depends on a lIt. Warrior Guardian Ele are great in all game Modes. pvp changes a lot for the most part but it’s pretty balanced with engi and ele slightly oN top. mesmer is so so in pvp and so so in pve, but it’s also a class not meant for everyone, I personally love it. Necro is great but not for dungeon speed runs. If you’re gone for awhile I suggest starting with ranger or guard. Ranger is awesome these days
PvE (Dungeons, Assuming you’re using Meta Builds):
- God Tier: Elementalist
- High Tier: Guardian, Warrior, Thief
- Mid Tier: Ranger, Engineer, Mesmer
- Bottom Tier: Necromancer
PvE (World Bosses)
- God Tier: Guardian, Warrior
- High Tier: Elementalist, Necromancer (Whenever Condis. are necessery, such as Evolved Jungle Wurm)
- Mid Tier: Ranger, Engineer, Mesmer, Necromancer (Otherwise)
- Bottom Tier: Thief
PvP (Structured, Assuming Meta Builds)
With the coming changes to Might, the Meta might be looking at a great turn and as such it’s difficult to say which Professions will remain in which tier at the moment.
Thief – Duelist | Ranger – Strider | Engineer – Technician |
Elementalist – Spellweaver | Necromancer – Warlock | Mesmer – Trickster |
