best all round profession?
Dont know for best all around but revenant comes to mind. Excellent in any form of PvE and if u are going into wvw they dont require a whole set of different equipment, mb some twicks but thats all.
As for pvp they’re still one of the most powerfull classes.
pve = phalanx zerker
wvw + spvp condi/power reaper
The best all around? I’d think that’s Engineer.
They’re rarely the best at anything, but they can be pretty good at just about everything. Or so I believe, but I’m hardly one of the top players in this game.
Now, raids do change the rules. When you get to them, second best isn’t going to cut it. You’re either top tier, or you’re standing around still looking for a group. That’s the nature of raids, they’re supposed to be a challenge for the best of the best.

delicate, brick-like subtlety.

Reaper seems to be wanted everywhere.
I would say reverent too. But it depends a lot on what armour you go with, well not for PvP that’s easy to change. unless you’re the type that has all the different types of armour, then any class it wont matter.
If you want to PvP then pick the best PvP class and make do with it for the other games modes (or make another toon). No point going PvP’ing with a jack of all trades, that’s like going racing in a boat that only leaks a bit.
Ele.
Wanted in all aspects of PVE, excellent casters/roamers in wvw and probably pretty good in pvp too(i am unsure after removal of cele amulet)

Revenant/Elementalist, good everywhere.
Ele’s do some of the top DPS if not top, plus they have the option to heal in raids as well. In PvP it really depends on what you want to do. I suppose the same goes for PvE, and the main question is: Do you want to be melee or ranged? What style of play do you want? The aim of this game is to allow any profession to perform almost any role meaning it’s really up to your personal preference to what you want to play.
For open world events/casual content I enjoy my ranger the most due to its versatility, although rangers are pretty undesired as far as more “hardcore content” goes. With the addition of the Druid elite spec we have been given a place in raids as a healer though.
whoever is saying Revenant clearly hasn’t played the class much since last patch… sword/shield 1,3,5 is completely gutted, sword 2 is still buggy, and hammer 2 got a huge nerf as well… PVE Rev/Herald can do well but in PvP we get eviscerated by Condi Reapers to the point where you can only literally run from them to survive.
Tempest~ super high dmg at max range so no boss can annoy you and good support at same time. Tons of AoE dmg in WvW zergs and point bully in Spvp. Breakbars kinda suck though in PvE.

“Hard to Catch” is a Horrible and Useless Trait. Fixed 6/23/15. Praise Dwayna.
Engie.
Great for
PvP – Literally always in Meta
WvW – Can Roam or Zerg, though better as a roamer
PvE – Does everything you need for condi’s / can play power as well but is slightly less effective
Raids – You see above about condi’s right ? okay good. Also Slickshoes makes all breakbars disappear.
1) Engie
2) Ele/Rev -Ele has the edge for PvE while Rev has the edge for PvP
3) Necro/Ranger
4) Guardian/Thief
You could probably make an argument for different ordering, but all of those classes are pretty good in both PvE and PvP. People like to complain a lot, but class balance is actually in a fairly decent spot with only Warrior getting completely shafted in one game mode.

Which is why in the world championship finals that just happened, both teams brought double Revenant.

Didn’t watch but weren’t those condi rev’s being empowered by a shout auramancer ?
