Guild Wars 2

Looking to play a primary damage build with decent support options. I currently have a fully ascended necromancer and guardian and I am wondering if I should change classes for HoT. I started leveling ranger/elementalist to get back in the grove of things but I am struggling to choose a class. I have Frostfang as well as The Colossus in my bags and would like to be able to use those. Are any meta’s currently using axe/hammer? Thanks for the feedback. As a side note, I would like to get into WvW more as well as raiding.

Axe/hammer ls a combo that can only be used by warriors if i am not wrong.

Maybe give ranger a try (which you’vce already started) since it provides a very solid condition damage build (using axe mainhand) and is very sought after for druid support.

Otherwise Hammer guardian provides one of the simplest rotations (only autoattack) with decent dps.

I would stick with your Guardian, you can put out respectable DPS, all the while applying boons to yourself and party members, and if you use a Hammer build, you can count on near constant protection uptime.

Revenant can use axe only with the off hand no? I was implying a main use for both ^^ but yeah rev too. Anyway hammer is not really popular for dps metas.

thanks for the feedback. looks like its down to guard or ranger. When I left over a year and a half ago it felt like you couldn’t run high level fractals w/o a guard. Does this still hold true or have druids filled that role?

Fractals have changed a lot and are in general easier than in the past, even the very high level ones.

While there are meta comps, basically any combo of 5 characters can run them and people are less uptight about group comp currently.

You could also consider engineer, very versatile, good dps and overall fun pick for PvE.

Once you unlock the elite spec Scrapper, you can equip your Juggernaut and start swinging.
