Guild Wars 2

Best class and build for carrying bad teams that can’t press t, fight on point, reroll with multiple glass specs, etc etc.

It’s not really a class/build that carries pugs. There is no truly carrying bad teams…. The most important thing to being a good player isn’t always necessarily the class/build you play but your map awareness and rotations as a team.

engi on skyhammer, otherwise warrior with balanced stance and dolyak signet and probably even last stand trait (unless enemy team is glassy then go defy pain).

i say this simply because warrior has the most stability to make sure you get all the stomps. In fights of bad-ish teams usually there are players going down on both sides, and whoever is getting the stomps/rallies is usually who wins.

plus warrior can hold a point as well as 1v1 kill.

condition warrior is good settler amulet undead runes sword/sword LB with something like 0/4/6/0/4

so is a burst’y build soldier amulet strength runes 2/0/6/0/6 longbow with an axe and either shield or sword.

condi engineer is a close 2nd on carrying bad teams because it’s harder to deal with for newbs than a warrior, but you just wont be as good at stomping as a warrior would be so you might find your downed enemys getting rallied and snowballing against you.

best to carry teams?

bunker guard when your team dont have one except skyhammer
on skyhammer go Engi for canon room with over 9000 turetts and knockbacks

khylo: when your team has bunker guard go mesmer with portal for treb

other maps when your team has bunker guard go bunker for close

when your team has mid bunker and close than go dps and babysit mid + close and decap far ONLY when free

simple^^

You cant carry, not by yourself anyways.

You could go engineer decap, but what if you get grouped with another deccaper who refuses to go mid or help home?

You could go bunk… but if you already have one for home. you are kind of dead weight.

You could soft/hard target dps, but then what if you bunker doesnt stay home when theres no close point defense? Or what it 3 ppl are decapping and its you 1v3 mid?

etc…

you can carry solo que, you just crank that slot machine and home your comp doesn’t suck, than you hope your players know their roles/how to SPvP, than you hope they don’t suck skill wise… get all 3 and you win.

i also think its important to know how to play several classes well.

being able to swap classes to get a better team comp is a very valuable ability. keep your toons in the mists and have the builds ready. PvE zones take too long to load. if you’re a guardian, thief, mesmer, or ele and your team has 2 of the same class as you, swap. If you can at least play guardian, warrior, and thief, then you can almost always ensure you have a class that will improve your odds. bunker guard isn’t great in pug games though because rotations are bad so your effectiveness is greatly reduced.
