Guild Wars 2

Whipped this up. Tell me what you think of my placements. Are they more or less accurate? Am I way off base?

Edit: I have taken some of the responses into consideration and moved things accordingly. However, keep in mind that I am judging damage as it pertains to fighting one or two enemies, when two foes will seldom be close enough to hit with a single AoE attack.

S/P and P/P should be less forgiving than D/D. P/P has terrible damage mitigation and no stealth. S/P damage is near impossible to hit with and has no stealth.

Shortbow has way more damage than you give it credit for. I still use shortbow to outdamage pistol/pistol users (not kidding, won a 1v1 on them with SB vs PP)

Are we talking potential damage or actual damage?

Actual damage will put D/P ahead of D/D and P/P, but you got it right if it is potential damage.

S/x and Staff deals more actual damage than P/P because they cleave.

Shortbow deals more actual damage than P/P because of AoE.

P/D deals more actual damage than P/P because of the number of available conditions and it can be applied to multiple targets.

In conclusion, P/P is more like located close to the corner where every other weapon set out-damages it

If only Staff damage could be put between dagger and sword. It would make it reasonably viable.

First of all, this is not how you do a graph and it’s been bothering me lol. But then it’s a video games so…

OP only took account of the burst damage it seems and I think he is right. When it comes to bursting P/P can outclass most weapons, but when bursting isn’t taken into account SB does take the crown.
