Guild Wars 2

…For farming. My thief bleeds take things down quick, but for events where high crit tagging mobs generates loot, I have to say that my greatsword warrior does it better. I’m using SB and D/D and am specced 30/30/0/0/10. My gear is mostly power with magic find rune/sigils. Am I perhaps doing something wrong?

My method is to use mostly shortbow, and rarely my daggers (mobs are dead before bleeds can do proper damage). I use daggers when solo farming (no competition).

I’m not looking to completely outshine my greatsword warrior (unless it’s possible somehow), just to be able to tag mobs hard enough to be competitive.

I’ve never had issues. No clue what you might be doing wrong. SB + Cluster spam wins the day for me every time.

If you feel that your warrior is doing better at farming, just use your warrior? If you’re using MF gear you’re likely just farming orr for items, so what does it matter what class you’re playing?

You’re right, I just like my thief’s playstyle and mobility better.

Save your thief’s playstyle and mobility for PvP and run rings around warriors.

If not, shortbow does do quite will if all you’re doing is tagging large groups mobs in a zerg. Spam dat 2.

Shortbow skills 2 and 4 tag entire events for loot drops. Auto win tagging. Out of initiative? Use autoattack and switch targets to tag 3 enemies a shot.

GS is gimmicky and only good wth frenzy and HB, for my warrior i farm with 1h sword/healing shouts you can take on a fair few mobs in a row, perma fast run speeds etc.

Not sure I agree with getting rings run around warrior in pvp … if you know when to pop dmg immunity / shield you can make it a lot harder, but I suppose 1v1 nothing beats a thief who gets the opener.

I always see rangers farming pretty quickittenhough

I’m farming with Backstab lately, it’s efficient in all the best ways for me.
