Guild Wars 2

Top Tier: Mesmer – Elementalist – Engineer

High Tier: Guardian – Revenant

Mid Tier: Ranger – Necromancer

Low Tier: Thief – Warrior

Thought I should make a tier list since haven’t seen any since the small patch (the meta seems a bit less bunky now).

The Top tier are classes that I have no problem if all 4 of my teammates are.
High tier are classes I have no problem with 2 members on, but 3 is a bit of a push.
Mid tier are classes I think it’s good to have 1 one, but 2 is uncomfortable.
Low tier are classes that you don’t want to see 1 in your team, and more than 1 would be a sure lost.

Here’s the thought process for those interested.

Chrono is no doubt the best class right now, might deserve its own tier
Ele is strong in offense, defense and sustain but kind of lack in utility (basically only good as bunker)
Scrapper is arguably stronger than ele but bring less defense for the team. 2 scrapper < 2 ele < 1 ele + 1 scrapper
Dragon Hunter bring unrivaled cc to the team and good ones can handle themselves vs any classes
Rev is overrated so they function exceptionally well as tank in this meta. Also bring a lot of boon and cc which make big difference at the start of the game.
Druid is pretty strong though only because of the blind spam. Would be higher if not for some counters (like simply kill the bristleback)
Reaper is not as strong as many claim it to be (although would be way higher if not for Diamond Skin). The only class they do exceptionally well against is Scrapper (thus I rank Scrapper lower than ele)
Daredevil is not as kittenome people claim imo. Though ranked bottom I think it’s still viable.
Warrior stand nowhere in the meta right now. Could be so much better if not for tons of chill and block, invu in the meta. Berserker do a lot of damage though (trying to push condi on zerker in pvp get nowhere imo).

Some of them would be better or worse with different builds and comp but I just imply that people were using the best builds for that match.

How can even consider ranger mid tier and dragonhunter hightier? Druid top tier scrapper hightier and dragonhunter mid tier would be accurate

With Auramancers and so many ways to get outpaced, Condi Zerkers are in a horrendous spot, infact using Primal Burst Sword against most people is outright dangerous due to reflects or the simple act of SIDESTEPPING.

How can chrono be the best class? It’s basically pushed into a bunker role where it hits as hard as a wet noodle
Yeah for sure you can’t kill him in 1v3, but with WoP nerf it’s clearly not as strong as to deserve its own tier… and it cannot kill anyone either…

Think you mean daze spam, we used to have good access to blind, but they nerfed the hell out of Lingering Light by 400%

Druid = God tier in right hands, who is saying else is lost some were…

They are a good 1v1 class, but don’t excel in each area. Due to the lack of stability, pretty easy to CC down, so not too great in team fights. Lack of consistent condi removal, so pertty much hard countered by anything condi, so if your team has a Reaper, they should be able to focus them down pretty well.

Druid – Tempest – Scrapper – Chronomancer- Herald
Dragonhunter – Reaper
Daredevil
Berserker

Currently the bug abusing Druids are god tier in soloq

Silv.9207:

Druid – Tempest – Scrapper – Chronomancer- Herald
Dragonhunter – Reaper
Daredevil
Berserker

This is accurate. Big gap between T2 and T3 though and very small gap between T3 and T4.

at good level of player skill i agree with this
also 1 more thing i think daredevil deserved bigger gap from berserker
should be like
Daredevil
Daredevil w/o offhand
Daredevil w/o mainhand
Berserker
bcuz daredevils got some positive 1v1 matchups and they still very good at following focus whereas berserkes got horrible 1v1 matchups and they only shine at freecasting
