Hey guys,

I’m just coming back to the game since August and my main used to be Necro, but it still seems to get rofl stomped by most melee. I understand if you’re a good player you probably can do alright, but I’m struggling to 1v1 people sometimes…

I was wondering what a fun prof is if I want to be able to 1v1 people without having to be a complete pro to beat mediocre players, and someone that doesn’t die when 4 or so people roll up on you trying to stun/knock down you from 100-0.

Also I would like the class to be highly wanted in TPvP paid and free.

I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks,
Oda

My main character that Ive done a good bit of spvp on is very slippery and hard to nail down even in larger encounters. Its a very fragile creature, my mesmer, it can only take one or two seconds of dps before it dies. However if handled correctly between stealth and blink and misdirection its possible to evade and escape. you can give it a try if you want, or there are some decent gaurdian bunker builds for survivability but those dont actually kill anyone like a mesmer does.

Mesmer right now. Until ANET fixes them then it would be probably Ele..

Since people are negative about nerfs, how about we buff to balance then?

It’s thief. They have more than a couple viable builds, no cooldowns on weapon skills, and an instant damage skill when traited that will probably take 1/4-1/5 of most players health. Then there comes the ability to escape fairly easily (SB, stealth is all you need), and all 3 of their elites are viable. Why wouldn’t you play this class? When/if they ever add onto conquest mode I think thief will really start to shine even more (scary).

Yes, they are killable, but in the right hands in certain specs they have almost complete control over when/where/if/how the fights will happen.

Hmm very interesting thanks! I was kinda leaning towards thief or Ranger or something so that really helps!
Just curious if you could link me the builds that are strong for thiefs =)

Ele if you want to beat everyone at a reasonable pace. I roll around with 1800 toughness and 20k hp on my ele and still get 2-6k crits. + they have best mobility in game hands down.

Or if you want to instant kill noobs then roll thief or mesmer.

If you’re struggling with 1v1 on anything, you’re going to struggle with it on probably anything else. Some people will say thief, mesmer, warrior or something along those lines, but if you only spec to be able to kill noobs, you’ll pick up very bad habits and get ripped up the second you encounter someone who knows your tricks.

That said, if you want to be slippery and escape fights you can’t win:

1. Thief
2. Elementalist

Ele with cantrips is a very hard target to lock down, and they can escape fairly easily via RTL. Thieves for obvious reasons: Shadowsteps, stealth, heartseeker away. All work well.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had no idea eles were that slippery and hard hitting.

I’m just annoyed that with my necro spaming blood is power, marks, turning Boones to condis, healing, and DS I feel that I’m still behind others dmg that require a lot less skills to just as much dmg or more. And yes I’m dodging and kiting always on the move.

Ranger and thief seem to be the 2 I’m leaning toward, but I have to consider Mesmer and ele now too!! =)

In my opinion ranger isnt as fun, If you dont want to rely on a pet play a thief because a lot of the rangers survivability and damage comes from the pet which is mostly controlled by AI and not your hotkeys.

I main Ranger, i enjoy it (i have an ele and warrior on the side burner), and there are times where i wish where both had a pet since neither can do 2 simultaneous things at the same time (i can revive and still attack/contribute in combat).

imho, if you go ranger expect to not be the best in anything specialized, but you’ll have no real bad side. i like playing combat medic, and ranger seems to excel pretty well with it if you trait for it properly. you’ll most likely see bunker-trappers or beastmasters in spvp.

Roll Thief, then get a macro and 1 button kill everyone.

Seems to be the way Anet is pushing Tpvp.

+1 my friend, nice post

But yea Ranger can be fun

But the best escape artists in this game are:
Thief
Elementalist
