Ranged Damage Dealer
Focus if you want to be purely ranged. Dagger does more damage but it’s all melee (well, close range anyway, not technically melee). In this game, melee will generally outdamage ranged, it’s supposed to be a risk/reward trade. Even scepter will maximize it’s damage at closer range (to benefit from aoe might stacking you need to be standing in a fire field where your dragon’s tooth and phoenix land, for example).
No class in the game is designed to be pure range or pure melee. They all have sets for both and some high end content requires being able to play both styles effectively. Might as well start learning all right away and chuck out that idea of “ranged damage dealer” and go with “self sufficient hero” which is what all classes are meant to be.
Hats off to all the ones who stood before me, and taught a fool to ride.
I want to be a ranged damage dealer….and since the staff is apparently very support driven…
Have you tried the staff?

I think people use the word support very loosely, so loosely it has ceased to have any meaning at all. Staff has many types of skills and some of those do some decent dps. Depends on the situation, ie. WvW in 1v1 or small or large group, sPvP, or Pve as to just how effective it is doing what specific type of dps you want and under what circumstances.
