rangers in fact do have some high dps but not directly from them but there pet mainly the drakes and there bloody 16k-18k tail swipes
i see, i don’t want to depend on pet or any of that sort, though having pet can be quite useful, going to lean forward Warrior since i’d like to be Tanky and do lot of dmg, thank you guys for the comments.
A ranger’s frost spirit gives a sizable damage boost. Mainhand sword is also rather nice dps.
A bear is the single most useless pet to bring into a dungeon, and if I ever see a ranger camping a bow in my party, a swift boot is in order.

A common ranger leveling build gives the pet insane power because it doesn’t scale down. Not to mention the normal fact that rangers do very good sustain in melee.

Galtrix, don’t be a naive general consensus newbie. Remember, in games general consensus is often wrong, as the majority of players are bad players in any game, and simply don’t understand the potential or capabilities of any class in full. That’s just the way it is.
One-hand Sword + Pet Ranger with the right set-up is some of the highest DPS in the game and I can’t remember precisely, but I’m sure somebody did a breakdown once that showed it did more DPS than any possible Warrior build, yet you don’t question the comment here that Warriors are high damage.
That being said, a new player is far more likely to get much more leverage DPS wise from a Warrior than any other class because they are just so much easier to play and understand, and have a far lower skill barrier to capable play than any other class.

Not entirely true, but true for the most part. The Brown Bear has party-wide double condition removal with a relatively low recharge as it’s manual skill, which makes it useful to bring as an on-swap pet in Dungeons where you are going to be facing a large amount of destructive conditions. Caudecus’s Manor comes to mind (25 stacks of vulnerability can quickly get you killed even against the regular mobs in a single shot). This is more a case of the Ranger lacking any alternative on-demand Condition Removal though. You’ll still definetly want a strong DPS pet as your other however.
a full zerk grenade engi using rocket turret toolbelt combined with grenade barrage and the throw mine skill can add some very high dmg output
in this video please DO NOT FORGET grenades dmg is done in 3 separate attacks for skills 1-5 so the dmg u see on screen is x by 3 for total dmg. ppl always see the separate smaller numbers and think its low dmg and forget its 3x grenades a time

I’ve found it’s better for the ranger to bring a red moa for fury or a jungle stalker for might. Another bonus to the moa or the stalker over a bear: they both apply vuln.
Brown Bears do bring condi removal, but other classes can do the same thing more effectively. Also, if I remember correctly, I think Healing Spring clears condis—as well as having the added bonus of being a water field to blast in for aoe healing.
I DIGRESS. I also agree that warrior would likely suit OP’s purpose best. High damage, high survivability, and a relatively shallow learning curve.

Elementalist has been the 1 toon I’ve played that bursted down everything in a matter of seconds (very disappointing in a way) but also dies like a fly. Now at level 80, thanks to Fiercy Greatsword and their offensive support (might-stacks) it’s still one that stands out for me, likely the reason most speedclears stack about 3 of those. How-ever any class can be made into an impressive DPS (just look for meta-builds, as the meta is DPS)
As I remember correctly the best professions for farming Queens Gauntlet were: Warriors, Mesmers, Guardians and Thieves because of their damage.
