Guild Wars 2

I’m a fairly casual GW2 player. I just do things for fun, I’m also not very skilled but I’ve found in this game that there’s usually a way around that

Example one: I was getting stomped in t3 fractals, so I looked up solo mai trin lvl 100 on youtube and copied the build and playstyle. Now I just unleash minions on my viper necro and knock out t4 fractals with a smile on my face.

Example two: I enjoy WvW. I’m not very good at it, but I’m having alot more success since a guildie put together a gaurdian tank build with tons of boon duration. Now I have retaliation and stability for days. I only die when I kitten up really really badly now xD. I’m not playing any better, the build is just tankier so I’m able to survive where before I would have died.

Example three: During PvP season 3 I stumbled across a video on youtube showing how massively overpowered the condi mace/bow warrior was. So I hopped on it and got to diamond division. Unlocked illustrious legend title for my kitten and plenty of transmutation charges, which I had always struggled to get before that. Then the build got nerfed and stopped being way OP. I might go back to PvP in the future… when the right build comes along again ^^

Raids: I quite like the idea of raids. The only problem is I’m a total scrub. I’ve beaten VG 3 times but that’s it, and those times I got carried.

On my warrior which is at the stat cap, I can only squeak out a miserable 12k dps. I just can’t keep up with the rotation. I’ve spent hours in the Special Forces Training Area but it’s made no difference.

I also tried a daredevil thief. I took it to the stat cap and I can get 18k dps with the easy rotation, which is just dodging and autoattacking. Unfortunately the high level rotation, which has the unlocked camera and you have to be pointing the camera straight down… that’s just not happening.

I have the resources to take another class to the stat cap. I’m not sure which is the best choice for me though. I’m also not expecting alot from these forums. People are always on here asking for the easiest PvE class and people point them to warrior over necro for some reason which is just wrong.

Anyway what I’d like to get is something that’s easy to play but powerful. Not something that has an easy role in the raid, anyone can pick up the mechanics by watching guides.

let me know thanks.

Edit:
I found this: http://qtfy.enjin.com/dps#Ranking

If someone who knows their stuff could tell me which ones are the easiest that would be great.

I would have suggested ps warrior, but since you dont like it maybe herald? I cant say much to it since i havent played one in raids, but i heard people claiming it to be easy.

Anyway, depending on the class dps is not the most important thing you have to consider. When playing ps war for example, the first thing you should look is if you can upkeep 25 stacks of might. As chrono, quickness-uptime would be most important.

Right now I’ve got it narrowed down to either hammer dragonhunter or herald. I guess I’ll try them both out with exotics in the Special Forces Training Area and then gear the one I prefer in ascended.
