Most consistently impactful class?
Warrior. It’s been the most consistent profession in GW2’s history. Very rarely is it out of meta in any game mode.

Really? o.o Is it just for their damage, or can they provide good support?

Banners and Phalanx Strength are staples of group support. They also have good damage. And you can trust a total noob to play a warrior well since they’re so simple. Really warriors have excelled at nearly everything since launch.

Huh! I’ll be honest, Warrior didn’t even cross my mind because I knew their team-healing was really low. Hadn’t thought of the OTHER aspects of support. X) Thanks for the suggestion!
They’re meta in all 3 modes right now, but I was also thinking of past builds. They infamous cele shoutbow build in PvP was one of the top 5 PvP builds of all time, the infamous WvW hammer train, the infamous CoF speed clear build, etc.
Warrior = GW1 and GW2.
I’ll certainly check one out. Though, I always love getting more information, so if anyone else has something to add, it’d be greatly appreciated! ^^ Especially if I’m wrong regarding Thief’s support/control/durability potential. X)

Thief has pretty much zero group support other than stealth for dungeon runs, which are semi-obsolete.
Imo it’s like :
for wvw : guardian
for raids : mesmer,warrior,druid
for dungeons: thief
fractals : engi
and open world I’m not sure how you measure your impact since it’s spamfest and generally not-so-challenging so I’d roll with whatever I like playing (personally i’d roll engi again cause stealth,tanky,more dodges and cc)

I’m pretty sure this guy is trolling lol he’s made at least 1 similar post to this previously and he’s always like “warrior is the only solution to any profession question” since he’s literally said something along those lines before.
Also I can agree that warriors are easy to play and that any total noob can play one competently, but ask yourself if that’s the case do you really want to limit yourself to playing a class that requires zero skill as he implies? It seems like honestly there are more players that have warrior in exclusion to any other class. As a direct result of this, most raid groups that post asking for PS warrior get one within the min, since its brain-dead and so easy to play. Whereas they post for any other class that requires significantly more skill and minimal room for error, such as chrono, ele, druid – then yeah those roles take much longer to fill.
It goes without saying, you don’t want to limit yourself to an easy, boring class when there are so many better options out there. It seems like you would make a competent player therefore you ought to take on a class more your caliber, like say chrono, ele, even necro. Even a guardian outputs way more dps than your average PS warrior and is just as useful in other game modes like pvp .. therefore do not ever limit yourself!
Chrono is not as strong in dps, but they have excellent group support and can provide tons of excellent boons like quickness and alacrity and help reflect hits or pull mobs together as needed. They make excellent tanks or support, even a condi build that’s being put together for them. Most raid groups nowadays require 2 chrono minimum, or at least they will soon.
Ele can play a variety of roles, dps, support (sustained but lower heal than druid), as well as condi. Yes they are more susceptible to dmg but usually this is compensated with a ranged wep like staff that provides defensive capabilities as well as being safe from melee-punishing mechanics that are a large part of fractals, for example. Besides which, once u figure out the ins and outs of the class u can certainly become better at surviving and mitigating dmg, at times even better than a heavy class like warrior! This class requires the highest amt of skill out of any other one imo so be prepared to work hard, the rewards are certainly worth it.
Again, feel free to try out diff classes to find one that meshes with your playstyle the most. It’s never a good idea to base ur choice of class on which is meta atm, as meta is always changing and classes dropping in/out of favor.. for example, necro at one point was so despised for pve they were outright kicked from groups sometimes, whereas now u see posts for 5 necro groups in high lvl fractals all the time. I will tell u honestly I feel handicapped as a warrior because at any one point my group can easily kick me and replace me with another in the matter of a heartbeat, as well in most raid bosses you only need to stack 1 warrior in a 10man group and easily 3-5x as many eles by comparison. These groups are used to doing this for a reason, it’s not hard to imagine why that is. Anyway hope this post was helpful to u

I’m pretty sure this guy is trolling lol
Ah the classic “someone said something I disagree with so he’s a troll”. Nice post, thanks for contributing.

I call you a troll cos u are in fact trolling. Saying ‘warrior is easy so faceroll even a noob can play it, anet loves warriors only’ is considered a troll post to me, esp when you’ve made that comment twice (that I know of) on profession related questions. I highly doubt ur main is even a warrior.. therefore I view it as a passive-aggressive way of calling attention to the class u perceive as imba or unbalanced. Tell me I’m wrong and that u do main warrior
I never said it was “imba” I said it’s easy and has been in the meta for all game modes for years, including the new raids. Stop saying, “troll”, it’s such a juvenile cop out.
Hmm … the answer changes at the same frequency as balance patches.

Then you might want to avoid asking questions without real answers.
