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.
