Guild Wars 2

I want to play a class to roam WvW and random pvp for the most part. Play style I prefer is something that can kite very well and deal a lot of condition damage over time.
I have been trying ranger with traps, shortbow, and torch. But traps just aren’t spammable enough for real damage, and shortbow doesn’t always bleed.

Thief. Stealth let’s them escape from most bad situations, they are highly mobile, have decent condition damage. Considered the top dog roaming class in WvW. Dual roaming thieves are one of the strongest combinations in the game.

Warriors are decent roaming as well, good at killing things, straightforward, and integrate better into larger groups than thieves. Mesmers are an excellent dueling class, and have access to stealth which is huge for roaming.

Looking for something more capable of slowing the enemy and whittling them down over time as opposed to thief style of burst and get out, then come back.

Any classes capable of killing with aoe condi and cc? Using traps on the ranger was fun, just wasn’t enough to get kills.

Necromancers are the gods of conditions. They are not very mobile, however.

Thieves have condition builds. P/D the stealth attack does 5 stacks of bleeds. And when you dodge you leave caltrops which cripple and bleed. You also have tons of torment. Cool thing about thief conditions is theyre short duration. That means people have a harder time cleansing them, and you get every second of DPS. Ask the thief forum and search YouTube for a good condition build. Laela Blackbird is a good one.
