Guild Wars 2

Hey all, been playing a few classes, got my guardian to 80, didn’t hate it, but its a support. I’ve been playing my thief at 80 for about a week, I love stealth classes, but the way gw2 handled the “Rogue” didn’t satisfy me. I played my warrior, honestly enjoyed him(I played him at 2013, he was my first 80, lost my account though so I didn’t want to level another.)

My main point is, what’s the best dps class? I’ll tell you some things I enjoy in a class to help you help me =D.

I enjoy seeing big numbers, big crits are always nice to see, while I do enjoy being a very strong dps, I don’t want to die instantly, and be drained of my hp very quickly. I’m somewhat of a solo player, I enjoy running around doing my own thing, but I do enjoy joining up with my guild to do some events.

I sorta wanted to roll a engineer, as in 2013 it was my very first class, but I’m not sure how p/p would do in terms of damage. Anyways, I hope the info I gave was somewhat helpful, It’s kinda all over the place, but thank you whoever helps me in advance =).

I’ve always disliked the term ‘best’ because it depends highly on your game mode and the type of content you are trying to complete. That being said pistol Engi with viper gear is currently very strong in terms of dps across all modes and has good sustain with it’s water fields etc. So if you feel like it’s a class you want to roll already, you can rest assured it’s a very strong class. However, it’s not a build you will see ‘big crits’ but rather ‘big burns’. =P

Ofc you could go with a power build to see those big crits, albeit in the optimal situations this would result in a fall off damage wise.

Just a quick off topic question, as i am just working on my burn build for a warrior:

What do you consider big burns?

Big Burns.

Big Burns.

What Da’ Fritten is THAT???? 30k!

I’ve played all the classes, some more often than others, and yeah they are ‘mostly’ balanced, but if you are looking for really high dps, I’d suggest trying out a staff Elementalist.
I prefer her for pve, (solo play mostly) for fast damage.

I play Rev a lot lately. High dps, mobility and strong support with Herald.

Warrior traited str- tac- bers. Insane burst, good sustained dmg output, very good with GS/LB , burns are great. Also very viable with axe/mace.

Since i traited my berserker i absolutely love her. Amazing dmg output, can take a pounding and has decent support (banners / phalanx / etc). Running at 3K base Power and 300 condi dmg.
