Guild Wars 2

Hi I kind of just want to ask what people play as their “main” and what stats they use. Honestly just to see what people do.

You may want to specify what game mode.

Main is ranger for all three for me.

Commanders Stats for WvW

Zerk/Marauder for PvE

PvP is Paladins/Demolishers

OK sorry, for PvE specifically ^^, so berserker/marauder Ranger for you..

Berserker mesmer.

Daredevil, berserker gear.

I have 2 mains

Warrior, pvt, mace and shield primarily

Tempest, hybrid of armour with power, tough, vit, HP and condi. Weapon set varies between S/D and S/W depending on solo/group

Viper reaper/Zerker reaper
PS Berserker (Warrior)

Berserker reaper.

Berserker thief/daredevil. I like the risk/reward factor. Very active playstyle when playing meta events.

Warrior for roughly 70% of my time, ranger and Guardian follow, then thief and rev, if need arides ele engi or mes. But warrior is my absolute favorite.
Gear depends on the job.
Bersi in wvw backline Farmer and pve\pvp.
Warrior frontline bersi trinkets, Knight weapons, solider armour

Guardian using Soldier/Sentinel

AliamRationem.5172:

Daredevil, berserker gear.

Haleydawn.3764:

Berserker thief/daredevil. I like the risk/reward factor. Very active playstyle when playing meta events.

Me three. It’s frantic and fun. Keeps me engaged.

Assassin’s Daredevil.

Every profession. Mix of stats …

Bezerker Dragonhunter(main)

Rabid condichrono (I have a zerker set as well, but I just like condimes for open world)

Zerkereaper… because Reaper’s Shroud is as cool as it looks.

Daredevil/Condi Ranger (Sucks but its still my fav)

I’d love to play Engie but its damage is like wet tissue paper…

I can’t really say I have a main. I played open world PVE and PUG dungeons in the year before HOT, took a break, and recently returned.

Mesmer is the first class I made and the one I wanted to main, based on playing them in GW1, but they just aren’t the same in GW2. So after a while I only played mesmer in reflect oriented dungeons. Now they have the huge group buff chrono stuff, but they’re still miserable in solo PvE because the high rate of minor enemies wastes phantasms. Anet need to make phantasms last until you leave combat, or make clone spam/shatter viable.

Ele is the class I played the most, because it was the meta darling while I was playing most heavily (the year before HOT). I don’t especially like or dislike ele, it just got me into groups most easily. My ele is the only character that’s full ascended on armour/trinkets/backpack and multple weapons.

The class I would have liked to main is necro. I enjoyed the variety, the switching from melee to range, weapons to shroud, dagger DPS for serious work to staff AoE for zerg events, cruising through trash mobs on dagger then going up a gear with the wells and elite. But necros weren’t ever that welcome in groups, and the DPS is barely adequate rather than good. So my necro just gets to be the first character through new content, the one who’s ready for anything. Now I’m one trait unlock away from filling the reaper line, which will be interesting.

Ranger is a bit like necro, it has some of the multi-dimensional variety, but not as much. I like ranger, but prefer necro. And the thought of playing a druid has put me right off rangers.

Warriors are a bit bland. Thief is too fiddly. Guardian is for people who know every animation and which ones need aegis — I’m colourblind and I don’t see some of the animations so well. I haven’t played revenant.

I recently made an engi which looks promising. I like the variety of things they can do. It’s my first condi character that’s really worked. I like that they do quite well on meta dps + utility, so they will hopefully be welcome in groups. I need to finish up the Viper’s gear and really get my rotations down but I think engi could be main-worthy.

Berserker Berserker.

Depending on my mood that day, it can be any one of Reaper, Ranger, or Warrior, PVE – all berserkers stats.

valkyrie reaper, marauder daredevil, assassin chronomancer

Chronomancer in a mix of Berserker and Commander’s gear with Runes of the Chronomancer (chronotank – primarily for raids, but find it useful in most other game modes as well).

Really fun playstyle.

My main is a Dragonhunter with a “non meta” Balthazar build with Greatwsord and Longbow. My secondary main Guardian is a Mace/Torch and Staff/Shield experiment with Balthazar build again. My third main is a Necromancer with a two daggers and wells condi build.

Engie with Viper gear when DPS (Condi) mode, Celestial when fun (CC) mode.
Reaper with Viper gear.

Thief/Daredevil. Zerker stats.

While my most played char is my Zerk Berserker, I can’t say it is my main anymore since I love to play with my others lv80 too lol (Zerk Scrapper, Viper Reaper, Zerk Herald, Zerk Daredevil)

Knight Necromancer.

At this point, the class I play the most is my druid in raids with Magi armour and zealot weapon/earrings & cleric rings. I also use my commander/wanderer chrono in raids but not nearly as often.
For open world, I mostly play my condi reaper with sinister armour and dire trinkets or my condi revenant with sinister everything. They have all the survivability, damage, and fun I need to survive the repetition.
For dungeons and fractals I use either my chrono, Zerk reaper, or condi reaper as appropriate.
For PvP, I prefer to use my marauder thief, condi Rev, or condi reaper.
For WvW I use my chrono, Viper/Zerk tempest, or guard depending on the activity.
I have not touched my engineer in a long time but might bring her back out to open world once her Viper gear is complete.
When farming maps I tend to use my condi thief.
I don’t like warrior so never play her anymore since the trait rework.

I also have a condi chrono that is dead in the water.

PVT Tempest with Zerker jewelry.
PVT because that’s what armor I made back when I leveled up to 500 Tailoring. If I ever get around to making ascended, I’ll aim for Zerker.

Druid – Zealots/Berzerkers or Vipers/Sinister

Zerker warrior for fractals because of high dps
Pre hot used ele staff back line in wvw. Don’t play wvw anymore. Will check on meta if we ever get alpine back but hope to dust off ele then.
Zerker mes for everything else. Most fun to play, just not as well suited for above two unless in well coordinated group.
