- Guardian
- Thief

A
= Engineer

B
+ Mesmer
= Elementalist

This one strikes me as the most accurate.

Warriors possess good survivability due to healing signet, and regardless of their other weapon, the CC of hammer or mace is very strong.

Necros are no longer the walking nuclear reactors that they were during the summer months, but none the less, still command your attention in a teamfight.

After the shaving of spirits, the ranger meta has become a little less mindless, which is a step in the right direction. However good spirit rangers will still have a place on most teams.

Guardians are still solid bunkers due to survivability and great team support. Not much else to say.

I disagree that thieves can only run S/D. I think (although much harder to play) can hold their own if the person playing knows what hes doing. Either way thieves are useful by just having shadows refuge.

My main class is the engineer. Atm most builds are condition damage builds. A few skilled players can excel with power engi builds but for now i will talk about condi engis. While engineers cannot deal out as much condition damage as necros, we do have much more support and disengage. I believe skilled engineers can will always have a place in the meta just because of the multi-skill nature of the class.

Mesmers have seen a bit of a comeback in the recent months due to warriors countering rangers and necros and less condis being present. They can pull of some nice burst damage and have AoE stealth and portals to help their team.

Elementalists lack builds and survivability. Elementalists feel really pigeon-holed into using cantrips or arcana utilities. All of their best traits are stuck in two lines, and these traits just barely help them compete.
