Which is better for pve/pvp/wvw?


Zaeph Posts: 10 Likes: +2 LEVEL 0	So I am stuck between Warrior, Mesmer, and Guardian. I am looking for something that does great amounts of damage yet can survive really well during pve/pvp/wvw. I have been thinking about a mesmer because I heard they were pretty awesome in pvp/wvw, but not that great in pve unless there is a great greatsword, sword/sword build for mesmer in pve to do nice amounts of dmg as well. Any help would be appreciated Please do not reply if your reply is going to be there isn't a better class because all classes are good in pve/pvp/wvw or go and try them out because i have already and still cannot decide. Mainly just looking for a build with high amounts of dmg yet can survive really well at the same time I would rather go with either Mesmer or Warrior. Guardians are just not my thing.

I've never played a warrior so I don't know much about them but the best Mesmer builds I would think to be based on high condition damage. Your clones do crap for damage no matter what your build and the highest phantasm damage are the ones based off your pistol then focus (I think). I don't use a greatsword but have chosen the staff and sword/focus for offhand and I survive quite well in PvE. I definitely wouldn't consider my dps to be anywhere close to what I can do on my Ranger or Guardian though and feel my Mesmer is definitely more of a supportive player that helps others do more damage by my conditions. I'm really new to MMO's and GW2 though so others might better answer this question. Posted Feb 8, 13

With a staff you can pretend your Gandalf and zip around to some extent dealing AoE and so getting either tons of Moas after you, or kill credit in PvP. And with a GreatSword you can make a nice work of either turning those Moas into bird burgers or pulling in players and turning them into... player burgers. Either way, shouts for survivability, mobility, and stability (SMS the trinity of awesomeness) and your weapons for CC, heal (empower with Altruistic Healing), support, leap, swiftness, control, minor burst and ranged. Not to mention, hitting people through boulders is pretty entertaining with the staff... (And yes I understand this is a bit of a necro, but couldn't resist the urge to speak about the wave that hits through rocks, to bad this forum is almost dead.) PS: But if you're really, really against Guardians, try for WvWvW a LongBow Warrior (With Banners for swiftness?), or for SPvP a stealth or shatter Mesmer (Stealth for anti-thieves, shatter for burst), and for PvE I suggest a double sword/GreatSword Warrior for max mobility. Those are all viable focuses for what you're looking for IMHO. Posted Mar 29, 14 · Last edited Mar 29, 14 by Ditrit
