I haven’t been back in the game for too long and of course have been busy trying to catch up with the current situation, and Mirage is coming

I have a simple question for your builds, what is your DPS, i.e. tested on golems in the raid training area? I’m talking about all builds, power, hybrid, shatter, condi, chrono, whatever, for wvw roaming, solo pve HoT PoF content, solo-ing champs, dungeons/raids, different versions of builds that you run for most challenging situations.

Have you tested your DPS for the different game play styles/types and how does it match up? What is your DPS flat without boons/ideal group situations? What is the necessary amount of pressure in your rotations and builds for different situations?

This isn’t a DPS brag, simply what is realistic. If you need toughness or other forms of survivability in certain situations, what is the DPS like then? I know not everyone runs the same thing or follows the Meta or prefers certain play styles so what’s the optimal results you aim for?

Curious!

Hmm, in wvw i play both power and condi, but lately i only power with gs, sw/sh and run illusion (i switch between insp/dom depending on the mood). Condi gets too boring and braindead after a while.

For open pve shatter chrono usually kills things faster than anything else i’ve played. DH is probably the one class that can instantly kill anything.

As for raids/fractals it is pretty routine. Boonshare chrono with dom/insp when u need distorts and illu/insp if u dont care about distorts but wanna maximize alacrity.

One thing that really helps is having the whole kitten nal of weapons in you inventory. Want more dps? get sword.
Want more cc? get pistol.
Want pulls? get focus.
Want to blast fields? Get torch.

As for rotations, they all really are afk rotations if u play chrono for a while. Apart from the occasional distorts and portals there isn’t something hard for the class.

And for dps? well it is probably the worst time since we have to take extra commander gear to make up for the duration food nerf. I used to be a dps junkie b4 the patch but now i dont really bother as most of it has gone into boon duration stat.

There are too many questions in your post to answer everything but this should be helpful enough.
