What are the most cheesy builds to you? These are the most cheesy from season 5 and season 4.

1. The guardian class
2. Evade spamming thiefs that literally do not ever get hit twice in a row.
3. Power burst mes that can burst for 15k+ on a single target repeatedly from stealth.

TBH cheese is such a subjective thing. You need to first define what is considered “cheese”. My defition is two things: A) you can put it into a completely new players hands and they will do well with it up until say low gold. B) How little counters a build possesses.
That being said it kind of narrows down how many “cheese” builds there are. So making lists like these are kind of pointless without making these distinctions. Just my two cents.

In this scenario we are assuming everyone is as capable as can be at whatever class they are playing…

And cheese is being defined as to how possible/likely it is to outplay the mechanics of said “cheese” specs, rather than the person at the other end of the computer.

The three I listed are the most op in my opinion, from most to least prevalent.

Since all the threads are about how OP any of the classes are.

Pls dont say you get salty over p/p thief and that you are top 250. Its just offensive to at least 249 people, or should be. Only class that can be cheesy at a high rank is druid.

EDIT: And maybe engi

D/D thief is the only really cheesey build. It’s sole purpose is to troll. Does very little damage but is nearly unkillable for zero effort. Turret engi 2.0.

Your in naru’s guild? I can assume that only means you are a worse performing guardian which means you’re probably not that great. Am I wrong?

I didn’t specify medi trapper, and I’m not even going to lie and say I know the specifics of that specific build enough to know what skills are slotted. That wasn’t the point I was trying to make.

You didn’t specify meditrapper, instead you generalized to the entire guardian class. I refuted it by providing a counterexample in meditrapper.

I play thief, dh, druid, rev, mesmer in that order. Obviously I’ll be a worse performing guardian than #1 on the ladder, lol. Also tbh, I didn’t even have to look at your rating. I know you are ranked lower than me because whenever I got queued into you, you were a free win.

Guardian has multiple specs in the class that perform better than the majority of specs available in game. If you can throw together something that doesn’t work that’s find and dandy. That means you’re good at making bad builds?

The only time I’ve ever been a “free win” is when I get team mates outside of plat and I’m solo Qing 1800.

But I mean if the best performing Rev NA is a free win that probably says something eh?

I do agree that guardians have multiple builds that could be considered cheesy (symbol and burn) but to generalize and say that the ENTIRE class is cheesy when they have a build that clearly isn’t is quite wrong.

Of course you’re a free win when you played random kitten like sword axe rev. You also aren’t “the best performing rev NA”. Wang, Ementon, Rev of Boa, Helio, (whoever rank #76 is, I recognize his account but don’t know his IGN). I’ll even throw in Pony Slaystation.

I’d call builds “cheesy” if counterplay is much more difficult than the build in question. A “cheesy” build succeeds by exploiting some mechanic and would not be considered a good “all-round” build.

A cheesy build doesn’t seek to engage in normal combat, reacting to other players’ skills and choosing what to do based on the situation. It just tries to do its thing (which is often very very effective). Eg. Dodge-spam thieves, The old Ham-Bow warrior build.
