Guild Wars 2

I’m thinking of making a new char and about some possible class/build combinations…

I’d like to have a raw damage type tanky char like in some games when you have an orc that you turn berserkser on beat the sh.. out of people but can also take damage np. (just an example).

Maybe a Pow/Vit/Tough based build. Is this possible/viable in any class?

Hm…Maybe you want a Necromancer? They can dish out good damage if you go glass cannon and still be tanky because of their Death Shroud (basically a second HP bar).

Going for a “Tank” type build in GW2 is not very rewarding. It is doable, but the game is much more geared toward “dead enemies, can no longer hurt me”, than building to survive a long, extended battle.

Again, it can be done, but most players that go with PVT builds end up complaining that they are treated as second class players because they are not as effective as other builds. Don’t mean to be discouraging, just stating my observations.

Sounds like a warrior. Run PVT CC in wvw, and zerk in PvE.

Guardian would also be plausible. You can go full zerker for some good damage (not quite as much as warrior) but have utilities and a weapon swamp for all the regen/aegis and blocks/invulns
