Guild Wars 2

I tried joining some pug raiding group but got decline because states that" DH doesn’t have a role"? anyone with experience, can you guys please explain it? Thanks!

With the right gear and traits, DH is one of the best tanks for Vault Guardian because you can keep the entire melee group healed and block a lot of the melee attacks. That makes it easier to keep everyone’s scholar runes up and lets full dps classes spend less time on self sustain.

Again, with the right gear and traits, DH is fine in a power or condi DPS role as well.
(base Guardian for condi, not DH)

A lot of pug groups are just elitist.
They see a video of a kill and try to emulate the same group composition and strategy to a T. They get it in their heads that the composition is more important than the players. : /

Here’s a video of worlds first Sabetha kill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfLRhR5XTZc DH is just fine in raids.

You need several sets of gear to fill the different roles properly, but it can definitely fill several roles.

Pugs are stupid and limit themselves. DH is fine, but in the current pug mentality it’s view a useless.

DH as a tank is perfect, as a dps role it depend. Pug are right that DPS DH don’t bring anything specific to that fight. DH is a decent condi, but not as good as engie or warrior, he’s don’t buff much the group like Herald, PS Warrior, Chronomancer.

But still, you have 2 places in a Squad that their only role is to DPS or do the Circle and DH is good for both. But that’s too subtle for pugs. They work in black and white. It’s not one of the best profession they heard of so it’s useless. And usually, what they heard isn’t particularly right. For exemple, it took some time before they stopped kicking Condi Warrior even if it’s one of the strongest condi build right now. Just because they never heard of it yet.

zerker dh is pretty kitten strong, they’re just cuckholds
