Guild Wars 2

Hello,

With the extension announced, I’m thinking about giving GW2 another try.

While I am very interested by a ranger and usually playing warrior/guardian, I’m a little concerned about the meta.

Can you please give me a subjective point of view about your idea of the actual meta by ranking every professions in your answers and maybe give a little opinion ?

Thank you

I’ll give you a simple overview of whats the roll of each class :

Guard : Utility/Support : Gives your party Stability ( Ignores Hard CC’s), condi cleanses,Protection ( reduces inc damage) and some damage via GS #4 and then #2 on top of the symbol
War : Heavy condi cleanses ( cause of Shouts and Warhorn), your warhorn #4 cleanes chill,cripple, immob and +1 condi to 10 ppl. War also is responsible for CC’s , on Hammer Stuns and Flurrys(Immob)
Necro : Pure damage dealer, hard hitting wells and some “offensive support” from Boon removal skills
Ele : Support via waterfields for blasts and damage from #2’s/meteor shower and some other skills
Thief/Mesmer/Ranger(?) : Gank Squad
