Tier List
I don’t think 1v1 is a very good measurement of how strong builds are in sPvP, cuz there are a lot of builds that aren’t designed to be very strong in 1v1’s, but are good in other areas. Also, 1v1’s are often about the specific MU and whether or not one build counters the other in some way.
Nonetheless, the most common builds that are good in 1v1’s are, in order of about how often you see them (roughly):
- D/D-Ele
- Shoutbow Warrior
- Celestial Rifle
- Medi-Guard
- Staff-Ele
- Shatter-Mesmer
- S/D-Thief
- Terror-Necro (IMHO underplayed)
