What Class Does the Most Damage?
Warrior, easily.
Is there anything that come closes to Hundred Blade when it comes to burst?
Warrior all the way, see warriors doing 10k-15k dmg from 1-2 attacks, max i’ve ever done @ 80 with exotic gear on my guardian was around 5-6k
Um … not elementalists?

Sounds about accurate.
Then again, measuring a class based on damage is pretty dumb in this game.

@80 dmg wise, eles are quite bad, if you compared single target dmg of an ele decked for full dps, to a guardian decked balanced, the guardian will outdmg it on single target, even if he is not even set to dps mode.
Eles do shine at aoe tho, but then again, so do the warrior and guardian, doing all they do but much better.

Ele has a LOT of offensive support though.
AoE fire fields and huge stacks of vulnerability do wonders for groups.
But like i said, the guardian can do it too, but with less effort, the guardian’s seals give vulnerability too, and they can create fire fields, no need for constant swapping, just faceroll to victory… But yeah the fields of the ele are nice.
Im just saying this because i played both class, and when i got my guardian to 80 i just couldn’t believe how weak the ele was compared to it(pve wise anyways). Its not normal to have a class that has the lowest hp pool, the lowest armor, and on top of that doesn’t deal more damage than a class who has their traits set to defense. They were fine in the betas, but something changed, i dont know what tho.(actually the dmg was lowered by alot)

2-3 stacks of vulnerability and a fire field every 45 seconds is a lot different than 20 stacks of vulnerability and a fire field every 10-15 seconds.
Whats really messed up is… Warrior. They where the heaviest of armors, have the highest health, and king of dps with there million blade attack. It really is a faceroll class.
warrior dmg is great, if you can survive being inside. For all their armor and hp they drop rather fast in meele range.
Elementalist is horrible dps.
I have both classes and am trying to decide what my third char is to be.
in blues and pearl greatsword, my warrior hits end damage of almost 9k right now, if i had him full exotic armor he would be doing 12k easy.
in half exotic armor and exotic mh/oh my elementalist max end dmg is 1500. She is better geared than my warrior by far. I hope they patch in improvements of the elementalist, i made a bad mistake lvling her.
Maybe if my warriors armor was all exotic i could live in meele in explorer dungeons, but as it is right now i die if i stay in for more than 30 seconds without a shield, which nullifies being in meele. 70% of the dungeon bosses i have to use a range weapon. This is what made me level my elementalist…. which im feeling was a bad choice now.
I always see everyone talk about greatsword being so awesome at DPS for Warrior, when in fact dual axe does a lot better at DPS than greatsword. You just don’t get to see a single insanely high damage number.
in pvp its all about the single insanely high damage number.
its about killing them faster than they can do anything to heal or get away or kill you
in pve id say dual wield is better, but there is no pve here
