Guild Wars 2

I want to make an alt specifically for WvWvW. As I’ve barely touched it so far I need to stay range at least while learning the ropes so to speak.

I do love to kill fast like melee does so which of the range classes/weapons is the fastest at killing?

Ta

Ranger/Necro.

Zerker Grenade Engineer can put out a lot of DPS at 1500 range.

Be aware, killing fast also means dieing fast. If your new to WvW you might want to start with something more safe. Most players starting out in WvW run with a zerg and build more survivability to start off with whilst getting a feel for the gameplay and then theory craft and customize builds to how they play.

But if that doesn’t dissuade you, heres some facts from my builds:

Warrior F1 Rifle can burst for ~24k

Thief (dual pistol) unload ability can burst a 2.8k armor spec for 8k (3 times in a row before requiring more initiative)

Also Thief steal on a warrior ability (whirling axe) Ive seen this do 32k damage although its melee range and risky to fully execute in some situations.

There are a lot of options. Most rifle warriors you run into are bad, but IMO warrior rifle isn’t necessarily so bad. Id opt for either warrior or thief if your looking for ranged burst and from what I can tell. But it really depends on playstyle. I mostly solo roam and play small scale fights and stay away from large fights. In large fights they won’t be your best options.
