Guild Wars 2

with the new update hitting i can already bet on a few of these thief going away without the ability to spam the stealth. What im wanting to know tho is what class could i run that is more beneficial to WvW. Not looking for just a guy who can 1vX on rare occasions but is helpful to groups and holding/attacking. Any opinions on what professions can excel at this? Also in my time in WvW i see so many thief/mesmer/elementalist walking around, am i the only one? Are any of them under represented in your opinion, if so whats wrong with them.

Warrior – CC, AoE Cleave Damage, AoE Healing, Condition Removal, Fury, Vigor, Swiftness, Might, Banners/Group Blasts
Guardian – Walls, AoE Protection, Stability, Might/Healing, Aegis, Altruistic Healing (hard to be killed) and Hammer blast is very good
Mesmer – Glamour build (Confusion bubbles of death), Time Warp, Portals, Boon Removal, Condition Removal, Veil
Necromancer – Boon Removal, Epidemic (ugh), Wells, Marks (terrain denial), Fear, AoE damage, Condition Removal
Elementalist – Fire fields, Water fields, Static Fields, AoE CC, Boon sharing, Aura Sharing, Siege killing

I could post about some other classes but I’d might miss some things or specific nuances.

If you’re already a Thief, you aren’t the best group support but you can spec yourself in P/V/T gear and build around constantly blinding everything you’re fighting. Nothing a Hammer Warrior hates more than being blinded.
