I’m coming back to gw2, I’ve played a little on and off like 5 characters to level 20.

There was a patch a few months ago where conditions went insane I believe?? That’s around when I left.

I wanted to ask since after the patch and with the new xpansion, whats a profession that can:

-1v2
-hard hitting like a truck
-big time burst and/or cleave
and if don’t mind explain how each profession achieves these mentioned above^ lol

last time i was playing guardian/ele/thief/ranger/warrior i really liked all of these if one of these is in a super good state let me know

thanks

I’m assuming you’re talking about PvP.

1v2
Any class can 1v2, imo. It mostly depends on the players. Though I guess a class that is more prone to winning outnumbered (in WvW, at least) is Thief.

hard hitting like a truck
All classes can get pretty high numbers, but the most common hard-hitting skills in the game are off the top of my head Backstab (Thief), Killshot (Warrior), Eviscerate (Warrior), Fire Grab (Elementalist), Grenade Barrage (Engineer).

big time burst and/or cleave
Not sure how “big time burst” differs from “hard hitting like a truck”.
Cleave depends on weapons, everyone has at least one cleaving weapon.

There is a secret Easy Button. It is hidden in this forum but we are forbidden to link it or risk getting banned.

Edit/Hint: there is a special plug-in. You type /jp-button and gain full immunity to conditions and gain permanent retaliation.

You can make a char of any profession, go to WvW and be an instant 80 with all skills and traits. Jump into any of the PvP games or go to a practice golem and see what the numbers are.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

As a thief I laughed as well.

This is an MMO. Thanks to constant balance no class will remain in a “super good state” for ever. You now have 2 options as far as playing the game goes:

A.) keep running for the “super good class” always having to reroll to a different with each balance patch

B.) find a class that you enjoy the mechanic of and stick with it no matter its state.

One of both options is an insanely stupid permanent catch your own tail situation. The other one would be the smart mans approach. You get to decide which is which.

Find a profession who’s mechanics you thoroughly enjoy. Once you have that, tailor a build to for your needs. There’s no point playing a certain profession (even if they were a kitteneesy) if it isn’t fun
