Greetings,
I want to know what would be the best bruiser duelist class and build for the META right now.
Why bruiser? I want the build be able to sustain 1v2 on juking a point (yeah I know thief can do that, like my team mate immpossible) and be able to kill in 1v1 the common stuff pushing far.
Yeah, looking for that home point holder build.
My thoughts about it, would be Mesmer. Just because portal play is so OP in many maps and can carry games a lot.
But, I really think that scrapper, mesmer, necro, warrior and druids can all do the job.
SO, It’s why I need you to say which would be best for that position. In this regard, if you are available to play 2 or 3 nights a week, it would be nice to learn from you and share games or even AG tourney.
Thank you,
Scrapper.
Necro isn’t good 1v2 because it’s the only class that has no invul/block/evade etc, you’re just a damage sponge with shourd but it goes away pretty fast when 1v2.
Also not really much juking potential beside worm.
scrapper or druid……scrapper has better dmg but bad mobility comparing to druid……druid can support in teamfight with heals and has great mobility……choice is yours
Agreed, Scrapper is the way to go for a tanky bruiser.
scrapper/druid, zan/rom
Also worth mentioning, but Chaithh streams on Twitch pretty regularly and has a lot of videos of past streams. He’s an engi primarily and plays for Astral Authority (fomerly known as Abjured), which won the last World Tournament Series.
On his streams, he also explains his actions and answers questions from chat, so it’s a great resource to learn from.
Probably Druid. Scrapper is fine too, but a bit vulnerable to burst/cc lock. Also easier to kite than Druid. Strongest 1v1 class might still be Warri, but not quite as sustainy as druid or scrapper and also a bit slow with the current condi spec.
A well played ele vs 2 average joe’s will hold point all day long. In 1v1 their sheer healing output allows them to win.
In team fights your healing resource is beyond doubt.
Scrapper can do what your asking for, but you will have team situations often. They are slow moving and don’t bring as much to the table as ele.
scrapper/druid/warrior
basically every class that has 1v1 potential and enough self sustain to kite around 1v2 without dying.
