Guild Wars 2

Hello folks!

I have now leveled a Warrior, Thief, D/D Ele, and a Mesmer though I have not really developed much skill yet in any of them other than the Thief. My question for you all is which of these would work best for solo roaming while still being able to provide some sort of benefit to the zerg?

My Warrior is a condi build using S/S + LB which I found much more survivable than my old GS+Rifle build. Sucks if I run into a Necro though…

The Thief changes back and forth from condi to the typical glass cannon. Not sure how effective they are to help zergs though as the SB kind of sucks?

The Mesmer is crazy fun but can’t outrun a dying snail. I’m using the GS + S/S build so she probably sucks for roaming too.

And the D/D Ele, my favorite class in the game just doesn’t feel like she could kill much of anything. I have her using the 0/10/0/30/30 build with a mixture of gear.

Anyways, any thoughts would be greatly welcome!

Fotm healing signet greatsword and shield warrior. Can catch anyone , escape from anything while regening full hp in a matter of seconds, bursts like a boss and does it in aoe. Perfect for roaming and works for zerging. Even has imba perplexity build available. Cya, im rerolling.

I’d say every class will give a good roamer if you know how to play. The D/D ele build you have seems like the one that was used months ago and isnt really working anymore though as it cant kill anything.
But if you want to run in a zerg too, without retraiting, my choice would be a condition mesmer as you ll only have to change utilities

For solo roaming I’d undoubtedly go thief. The thief can kill every npc in a supply camp in 35 seconds and even under 30 once you get more practice. I don’t see any other profession coming even close to that. It is also the fastest moving profession in the game if you have long range steal, heartseeker spam, shadowstep, signet of shadows and others. This means you can run away from anything (combined with shadow refuge), get from supply camp to supply camp quickly, and even catch up to your zerg if they are far away and just about to cap something. You can run S/P for taking a supply camp while swapping to D/P when running from supply camp to supply camp (heart seeker spam) as well as 1v1’ing random people or dolyaks/sentries. When you get to the zerg just pop in a SB for the AoE and make sure you have dagger storm too which both give very good loot.

Here’s a video of me roaming on thief with my build:
