Guild Wars 2

Fairly new player here.
Is it true that these are the only professions that are needed in dungeons? I’ve seen lots of people saying that in forums and map chat.

They’re all that’s needed for people who want to do super speed clears. However, Dungeons can be completed with any profession set up. Those 3 just happen to be the top in PvE right now technically due to high damage/support

So could I still be useful in a dungeon with a Ranger or Thief?

Actually, the fastest speed clear in CoF P1 (the dungeon that everyone considers the entirety of PvE) was done with 2 thieves.

Regardless, Warrior and Mesmer are the cookie cutter roles in that specific dungeon because as long as one Warrior and the Mesmer know what they’re doing, the rest of them can just sleep on their 2 key.

If you’re playing to have fun and don’t wanna be tryhard, play what you want. Once you find a guild, it won’t matter what you are.

If you’re super tryhard and competitive, you’ll find out what you want to be soon enough, so still start with what you want.

K thanks. I’ll stick to my Ranger for now then!
