Guild Wars 2: Choosing Your DPS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Welcome to the installment of the DPS video! I did one of these for healers, and that was much more focused as the elite specs are fewer. This time around we can cover so many more elite specializations that present a clear and obvious direction for DPS.
Enjoy!

Just in time for a patch note preview that flips the table here and there.
Firebrand (guardian) getting slapped with a rework that finally bring them more in line with other dps in terms of support utility.
Thanks!
Yah that's an issue in similar MMOS; when they have their own terms for the same stuff. CoNfuSiNG for everyone
Been playing for a long time and had no intention of changing my class, but i still watched the whole thing because of how professional and fun your voice is. Fantastic work and very concise for players who may need some guidance
Thank you so kindly!
I'd be interested in hearing you talk about classes able to provide comfortable Solo playstyles too honestly. A lot of ppl overlook Solo builds because supposedly Open World is too easy to care about it but for newer or less skilled players who struggle with GW2's more dynamic and adaptive combat and movement system, it can still be helpful to learn what works better when Solo since the needs of Solo builds are different from group roles.
this so much, esp since all the new players start as solo.
Couldn't agree with you more. Spot on.
i would suggest you to look at lord hizen channel, he doing everything solo, he share the build too
Revenant with Battle Scars and Minionmancer Reaper are my personal favorites. I used to also have a very CC-oriented Soulbeast as well.
@@dterra22 lord hi en frequently makes builds using items that new players will not have access to for a very long time of ever - like runes of sanctuary nightmare
literally the quick overview of classes i been looking for.
1000th like 💪💪💪💪
Returning player who has not played since HOT came out. Your guides have been amazing for me to learn the game again.
Thank you!
Awesome video! I've somewhat new to the game and have been playing as Virtuosos and loving it!
Virtuoso is really delicious.
A very helpful compilation in a very structured and pleasant presentation. Thank you!
Love making these, so thank you for watching!
Loved this one, Kroof - I know I am a year late to it and so things have changed (of course!) but it still holds up as an excellent 'Choice Board' to figure out what to go for.
I once met a freakshow of a spellbreaker that pulled 40k dps on Sabetha in W1. It might not be the obvious bc of how the traits and class are constructed, but the potential certainly there.
I main a Soulbeast and a Virtuoso. Anything more complicated breaks my brain xD
Spellbreaker can pull good numbers, this video was very much a glossy page overview from the manual look at the professions for someone fresh to the game.
I am a dps enthusiast and planning to but hot&pof after a decade of playing and quitting and I've been analyzing the classes for the last week to come up with 5 characters I want to min/max and change the elite specs occasionally to have fun. The last character I couldn't decide but you helped big time about that. Appreciated.
I really enjoy your videos even though I am pretty off and on with the game. I'm sure you hear this all the time but you have a great voice, it's really calming!
Nicely done, yet again Kroof ;)
This is very helpful! I've been playing spell casters for awhile but looking forward to trying out some heavy armour melee.
Fun watch, I still love Mesmer and Necro and Guardian above all others.
Not putting a ton of attention on the numbers was great decision. Hopefully newer players will see this as an opportunity to play what they enjoy, rather than chasing the dps meter. Amazing video as always!
Thank you very much. I knew talking about numbers would be useless with how often balance changes. 😂
Fantastic video, I normally never played a class like Mesmer. Always been a warlock in this case necro which people advices as more a FOtM thing, but the Virtuoso seems so powerful and good for group content that I was debating between the two but I think the Mesmer wins for this MMO thanks to how you broke this down😊
Just came back to the game. This was great for catching me up!
Thank you for this and previous guide!
Thank you so kindly for watching!
Thank you so much!!! This helped me tons!
❤️❤️❤️
Speaking of things that can change.. Guess tomes just became a little more flexible *but* but with less bang all at once.
Not to forget deadeye who learned to walk while kneeling 😂👍🏻
I know that renegade is more suited towards condition damage because its nearly immortal in PVE but don't underestimate a power build as its damage applies not just to you but to your spirits as well. Which can lead to extremely good burst damage as it multiplies your sources of damage when you drop a damaging spirit down like the Iron Legion or Ash legion spirits. The only issue is that you take the assassin stance as your secondary which unlike the demon stance isn't very tanky at all, its incredibly mobile, helps you build might and lets you deal destructive levels of burst but your healing and sustain leaves much to be warranted, so with this playstyle its more kill them faster than they can kill you. Its more suited towards PVP than PVE but I have had no problem at all with open world content, fractals and even some raids.
weaver looks so awesome on action cam holy
Question :).
On a Warrior (simple) or otherwise would you use Superior Rune of Firework ?
Mostly for even more speed on the Warrior class ?
whata great video. thanks!
Very informative and well put together. Deserves more attention so here's a comment for algorithm purposes.
Note for Bladesword, you also get access to pistol
Played with a few friends for a few years. Don't think any play it anymore but I played a good healing reaper for a while. Wa fun because nothing could kill me.
New player chiming in to say I really appreciate the video. Enjoying my Ranger now, but wondering if I'll want to make a change to something that has an elite spec that is more my playstyle.
Just found this video awesome job by the way!! P.S. you sou nd like Lady of the Lore from Smite
I just wanted to say: I was freaking scared by how cute both your Charr Revenant and especially your Asura Ranger look. I can barely make a human look good, yet here you are making two of the least humanoid races on this game look pretty as hell.
Thank you so much! I try my hardest 😭✨❤️
i am playing a ranger soulbeast but what i want to know is, which is better in terms of pve dmg Condi or Power ferocity dmg. I use shortbow with dagger and offhand axe. Kindly guide me.
i am a veteran gw2 player. thus, u deserved a like~
I've been playing P/P Thief with Deadeye, I think it was your suggestion. Anyhow I have a Macro on my mouse, Nearest Target, Mark, Unload, all in just about a Second. I might have sped that up but I'm not trying to Cheese too much that's about Ultimate speed for me. But now add Rifle, and Burst. Oh that's Ugly, just pound the uglies, swap, unload. Dead Ugly. BTW there is a comment below about Solo Builds, which I agree with, but I play 99% Solo, and this build Rocks for Solo in Open World. Pretty sure I'm running Berserker Weapons and Valk Runes as you recommended in another video. Love your content, its really helping me explore some alts.
Crazy shit going on in gw2. Played the first time again in 4 years and the game changed a little bit xD
But power reaper is a thing again. Thats nice :'D
The video helped a lot to understand what tf is going on rn :D
Very good video
best video for Classes ever
your voice reminds me of lady lore from smite, also such a clean mic
I have chosen my dps, thanks guy
So I watched this but can't choose what I wanna play what would u say is best ranged dps beast?
berserker my favorite dps and character
This made me wanna try necro, we will see :D
I'm just too busy as a thief to go invis and keep reving my team over n over..
Hi there, I just started playing the game a few days ago, and just boosted to 80 as a guardian. I am playing with 2 other irl friends that just started playing as well.
We want to do raids together. As guardian which class would be the best for that? Thanks!
At this moment I would probably recommend Firebrand, but the balance patch is coming at the end of this month (november) and it will probably shake up a lot of Guardian.
Hello newbie here, really enjoy gw2 so far, what is range class that you recommend for beginner newbie like me for open world pve? the dragon hunter looks good with trap+range attack, love your video btw!
Dragonhunter is a pretty good option.
I've also heard Virtuoso is really straight-forward and powerful. :D
Dude, can I know your camera settings? It makes the games more aesthetically pleasant and you can fully see your char's animation good. With mine its 2% char and 98% landscape and sky..
Omg yes, I hate the default camera options! I put that fov down and adjust the verticals sliders.
You can see more with my video on the camera and action camera: ruclips.net/video/RLAEhGykw6w/видео.html
The dragonhunter looks like a better version of what I wanted ranger to be. When you mention its weak. like it's weak towards what parts of the game? I feel like im mainly going to be focusing on Fractals, dungeons, strikes. I'm a new player so im just trying to find a class I enjoy. If you could clarify that would be helpful thank you
it’s weak compared to their counterparts that require much less effort and gets high rewards, but it might recieve a buff soon
DH is fun as hell. Pretty much all classes can be successful. Play whatever you want. Chasing a DPS meter isn't all its cracked up to be but I do understand why some people enjoy it.
Its pretty much got a lower DPS ceiling in exchange for being a bit harder to kill. So its reasonably a beginner friendly class but its not as suited for damage as other classes are. But Anet balances stuff eventually so it should get spruced up eventually.
Nice Video
Do i have to take the elite especializations? I just want to play Ranger Bow dont want to melee
No you don’t, it even says you CAN use a Staff/Dagger/Hammer if you chose one of the 3 specs.
Keep in mind tho that buffs and heals are all given in melee range so for instanced combat staying range is not effective but if you just play OW it’s totally fine
Goddam your voice is calming.
I play warrior as Berserker for traditional melee class type. Spellbreaker for WvW and sPvP and use Core for open world. My main alt is an elementalist I use as a tempest alac healer for fractals only as dagger dagger and WvW zerg as a staff healer. My last alt I play rarely is my ranger as a druid healer in WvW or as a ranger with longbow and greatsword for that range dps feel.
Specter is an insane DPS. I can solo almost anything.
Has anyone mentioned you sound VERY similar to the Smite Lore Lady?
Spellbreaker taking a minor in dps? It's hitting hard enough with such a smooth rotation that outside of the sweatiest comps you're easily top two in your group if not first.
Power dps Herald is solid and is getting buffed. One of the skills is going from a x2.0 stat scaling modifer to x4, praise be big bursty numbers and faster cool down reductions.
Vindicator is also getting multiple large multiplier increases on several skills.
Untamed (ranger) is is getting quite a few indirect buffs as their damage modifiers that require an enemy to be cc'd are now always in effect when you're against a defiant(cc "immune") enemy.
note: the "trait modifiers that trigger on cc condition" being active on defiant enemies, is also being applied to everyone else too, so that's a nice upgrade to relevant professions.
Deadeyes will be able to move when kneeling next patch, at a reduced rate of course but now it won't be necessary have to waste a dodge to move a few steps.
Holosmith buffs for both pwr and condi variant coming soon.
For mechanist's, if the current preview patch ships as is, will have to learn how to manage their pets else the mechs will lose 50% of the players stats after a duration.
There's also a slight rifle nerf but the wording is odd so we'll see how it lands.
Catalyst buffs look interesting as they're obtaining the Aegis boon and the hammer 3 skills will act as a pulsing damage field instead of circular projectiles.
Reapers getting significant buffs, though we're not sure if it's enough to bring it inline with what we'd expect from a class without the two power boons.
Chronomancer's receiving noticeable buffs to its power dps playstyle. Such as its ultimate Gravity Well having its cool down reduced by a 3rd along with its ratio's being increased.
Mirage is being... nerfed? Restructured? With regards to its weapon identities, where axe will focus on damage and staff will focus on boons, though the nerf to their alacrity duration in tandem with how it's going to be applied now leaves things 'up-in-the-air.'
well explained.. Thank you!!
I watched your video
Atm i am a newer player.
I cant pick a main class.
I like thiefs but i get the feeling they jump more away from the target than to them.
The ranger feels a bit confusing with swords as second weapon jumping around a enemy or away.
Engineer i never tried them really mech looks interesting
Mesmer looks to interesting the two first specs.
I just want a class that go on full ranged or full meele and stays in this area. Any recommendations?
I want to spam my abilitys like a speed junky at range or meele only and i am not a real fan of greatsword but when there is no option i can overlook it
Light classes:
Necromancer has a good melee option with dagger. It excels at ranged with the staff or scepter. Scepter Necro is easily one of my favourite long range weapons in the game. Axe is alright, but it is IMHO the worst option for Necro.
Mesmer is a ton of fun and one of my favourites. Main hand sword will be your close combat melee and performs really well. Everything else is mid-long range combat. Staff is my favourite, I also enjoy Scepter. For off hand I prefer pistol, but torch/sword/focus are good too.
Elementalist is a very complex class that I wouldn't recommend to a new player. I've been playing a long time and still struggle with it, lol. It's weapons are mostly mid-long range combat and functions differently based on your attunement (which you need to change constantly during combat) and each has new skills that may require your to shift closer to/further from the enemy. Not what you're looking for, lol.
Medium classes:
Thief can use dual pistols and stay at range. Shortbow as well, but it doesn't feel like smooth combat to me. The close melee, I agree, has you moving around the enemy a lot and can take a while to get the feel of. If you prefer be more stationary, Thief isn't your class.
Engineer is one of my personal favourites (I have 3...). You can have dual pistols, and the only need to get close is for the skill 4 flame torch skill. Rifle is a lot of fun and my weapon of choice for all my Engineers. There's the shield as well, but I hate it. There's a ton of utility skills that allow you to shape the class in a way that works for you. It may be a bit much at first, but once you sync it to your taste, you won't regret it.
Ranger has some great ranged options: Main hand axe, shortbow, longbow. Off-hand torch/warhorn. For close melee you are kind of limited to sword or greatsword. Greatsword can be fun once your get the feel for it. I'd stay away from the sword (I don't like it either). If that's the only weapon you tried before abandoning Ranger, I'd go back to it and play with some other weapons.
Heavy classes:
Guardian will have a good variety of options. Sword will be your quick melee, hammer is tanky, greatsword is melee but more mobile, mace is close range tanky healer. Long range your get staff/scepter with some nice off hand options. I'd go into details, but I'd suggest just giving the class a try. You won't regret it!
Revenant is another class with great options. Sword and Mace are great close range combat options. Off hand sword and axe are a ton of fun. Staff is strangely a close range healing weapon. It feels fun but also awkward... The long range option is the hammer, strangely. I'm not a fan of it but maybe you will be, lol. I'd recommend this class for closer range stuff.
Warrior is obviously going to provide a ton of options as it has a huge pool of weapons to choose from. Sword, axe, greatsword, mace, etc. Off hand has similar choices that are a lot of fun. For long range you get the rifle and that's about it. It's an alright class, but I find it lacks flavour, lol.
I hope that helps a little bit. I would suggest watching more videos that are specific to each class. Or, you can just try them all out until you find one you like. If you have the expansions, once you reach level 80 you can start to unlock Elite Specializations which provide more weapon options. I wouldn't focus on that yet so you don't get overwhelmed.
In addition to the other post replying to your comment, I'll list off some of the specific builds from the expansion elite specializations that are a bit easier for a new player to pick up and learn (after you get the gear of course), and can stay strictly within their range or melee playstyle.
Light armors (Pure Range):
- Power or Condi Daggercamp Virtuoso (Mesmer). Their daggers are super long-range, great for kiting, even has access to invincibility frames if you really need it.
- **Condi Scourge (Necro)**. Scepter is a bit shorter range, but you can kite pretty well. Torch is typically used as an offhand, a bit shorter range but huge damage if you can get in for a quick burst. You have tons of shielding from your Scourge profession skills with the sand shroud, really nice for staying alive. Great for a new player.
Medium armors (Pure Range):
- Power Rifle Mechanist (Engineer). The mech does a lot of passive damage and you can stay at a huge range and get good DPS. There are couple rifle and grenade kit skills that are shorter range, but the mech is doing most of the damage here.
Heavy armors (Pure Range):
- Not really many options here, sadly. The heavy armor classes love their melee weapons.
Light Armors (Pure Melee):
- **Power Reaper (Necro)**. One of the easiest builds to play, and very durable, but currently also one of the lower DPS options. Uses greatsword though, as well as a short-ranged weapon in Axe that slings claws. You will spend 95% of your time in melee though.
Medium armors (Pure Melee):
- Power Daredevil (Thief). Lots of bouncing around and vaulting with the staff, you'll definitely be charging AT the target with this one. It can be a little bit tricky to get used to, but it's pretty simple to learn and very fun. You do use the dodge for DPS but you have 3 charges so plenty of wiggle room.
Heavy armors (Pure Melee):
- **Dualswords Power Herald (Revenant)**. Suuuuuper easy to play, but also a bit lower on the damage side. Most of the damage comes from spamming Sword 1 and Sword 2. Highly, highly recommended for a new player. Plus if you're playing solo, you can give yourself permanent buffs from the Glint legend. Staff on the weaponswap for some extra CC and defensives.
- Power Vindicator (Revenant). Greatsword camp, also super easy to play, but you'll need to sacrifice your dodge for damage and with only 2 dodge charges.
- Power Dragonhunter (Guardian). The pure melee setup runs Sword and Greatsword. A bit more difficult to play as it requires you to align your skills in a buff window, but has some VERY high damage burst.
- Power Spellbreaker (Warrior). A bit iffy because they aren't really a standout DPS option, but I'll recommend it because of how durable it is. You have a lot of weapon options here including Axe, Daggers, Hammer, and Greatsword. Pick your poison, they all do relatively well.
What do you think about the idea that all 9 professions should have access to every role in the game simply by choosing certain traits and weapons? I think it would be great if all professions could be DPS (both Condi or Power), support, or a healer, by choosing the right weapons and traits and maybe also needing to choose one of their elite specs for that role. Lots of changes would be required to make this work, but I think it would be worth the effort.
this was the original design of GW2 - no class specific roles
Aside from warrior and necro, all classes can fill every role (condi/power dps, boondps, boonheal) and even those two are only missing boonheal. Now if you want every class to have access to every boon in some way, you would (in my opinion) risk the classes feeling samey and losing their uniqueness.
@@oltsuboi520 then all we need is better balance, so groups won’t automatically kick certain professions that are trying to provide specific roles that other professions can do better, and Anet will have done their job.
@@oltsuboi520 does firebrand have power dps builds?
@@figa5567 not really, but we were talking about classes not specs. You can, however, make a hybrid fb by running a mix of grieving and viper stats, as tome 1 skills have a significant power dmg component to them.
I for one am glad that DH doesn’t have quickness and can’t stack might that easily…. Can’t imagine that in PvP/WvW
me: "Alright, lets see what the range dps has to offer"
video: "everyone is melee !"
-.-
You forgot to add alacrity to mirage.. Staff-Mirage can still so somewhat decent damage while providing alac+25 might.
As a staff mirage main I feel offended.
Perm alac, 25 might and fury. Super wish it also had quick but I guess that would make it too op 😒
Staff mirage is and has always been one of the worst dps in the entire game. idk what you are talking about m8
Que vídeo bom, e que voz linda
Damn, I just question myself this today since I still unable to choose a class.
There’s plenty to consider! ✨✨
Wh... why not all of them? o.o :D
"Hey there fellow dps player, well I say fellow but I must admit I tend to main a healer"
Me: Boon Support who isn't sure why he even clicked the video.
And the Vindicator is using the Greatsword....
Mirage gives perma alacrity btw
Absolutely despise great swords, regular swords, and warhorns when I'm playing a magic class or bow/pet class. Having so many elite classes get the most out of their builds if they switch to a greatsword....especially for squishy classes who shouldn't be in the middle of a melee fight anyway....just seems like laziness of the developers.
While quickness on thief specs would be fun, it would likely completely break 2 of the 3 gamemodes. Deadeye and daredevil already have high burst but quickness would make it near impossible to react in time to a thief coming out of stealth and bursting you down.
*skill splits*
They are doing them more often and specifically with boons.
@@KROOF yes, those are certainly an option, but as Anet themselves have said, functional splits are to be avoided where possible, since they make the game more confusing, especially for newer players
@@oltsuboi520 They wanted to avoid direct mechanical changes - boons are not mechanical changes but effect changes. They know they don’t want quickness and alacrity in PvP, but they know it’s pretty essential in PvE.
@@KROOF yes, the boon changing isn't a mechanical difference but it isn't as small as a numbers (duration, dmg, coefficient) change either.
I want to play deadeye so bad but I heard its not viable? Maybe if I just avoid dungeons altogether lmao😅
Deadeye is viable, and before EOD had the highest DPS bench of pretty much any spec, (its still in the top 3) but it is very hard to play Correctly and get that dps
Yeah give it a try!! You might really enjoy it, but do be careful about damage being applied to you.
@@KROOF I’m new to the game but trying out all the classes. For some reason thief is the funnest to me xD I’ll make sure to try it once I’m 80 :D
down state elementalist is the best dps class with the highest parse out of all of the (down state) dps
also spectre and tempest are fine, if you want to talk about support it'd technically be untamed since it can self-sustain all boons (except like aegis or something) with 50% dmg reduction
6:03, funny enough spellbreaker isn't actually minor, it has 38k parse (w/ hammer) and a 40k+ parse when they fix hammer2's bug, ignoring the sheer factor that it has basically the highest consistent CC in the game (ignoring specter since I think it's higher but you burn all of your dps for it), and you have an absolute power house. Some minor trait changes lets you pick up self-regen as well.
Bladesworn can go quicksworn and have respectable dps, downfall is just CC, also has quickshare through soldier's focus which is why cata was murdered (lol)
8:50 while true, vindicator is also bugged and currently deals more damage due to leap slam using unarmed weapon strength instead of your weapon (SOMETIMES, and also might be vice versa I forgot which), it's easy enough to do the bug that apparently it happens a lot if you're not paying attention.
18:27 condi reaper (or cReaper) for some reason performs way better than pReaper and is usually memed about, also if you technically ignore all the issues that pReaper has (except the damage), you would still have an damage issue, and then when you have all the issues that pReaper has, you have 0 damage, so cReaper isn't actually a meme anymore since pReaper is incredibly broken, not broken op, just broken bad
Its fool not folo
She's got such a Mommy voice 😳 gawdamn
When I'm secretly fem-boy. UwU
Building a pc so I can start playing
Alac mirage is so bad, it didn't even get included c: damn
Not a fan of Guardians + their elites. I seem to run into more toxic players that play it in wvw, so its kinda ruined the class for me
Choosing your dps:
throw on anyalysis, fun fuctor, perfomance, utility
...and anyway you gonna play mechanist, because its borderline busted, can be HAM, alac, power, condi, bring anything and with 3 buttons top the meters 🤷♂
Flambo
Issue with GW2 balance is that it's not about the amount of damage a class brings but the amount of boons a class brings. For example, there is never a good reason to bring a mesmer especially after the coming patch. The same issue applies to warriors, elementalists, and revenants. Some classes only have 1 "viable" pve spec such as thief, ranger, and engineer (even if holo gets a buff no good reason to bring one cause no good boons) and some classes are the only real "safe" picks such as necromancer and guardian since the devs only really play these 2 classes. engi mechs are a maybe at best. Simply put, kinda wish boons got gutted in general so it would only really be worth for support specs, deleting boon stacking would be a good start, just saying.
spellbreaker doesnt just have the "potential" for damage, its one of the stronger dps out there. its actually a better dps than alot of other specs youre mentioning. so why are you pushing it in the tank role and tell ppl its dps role is "minor"? might want to research before you make a video giving information to new players :/
Minor in the sense that it’s traits, utility skills, and even the profession mechanic really highlight control and defense.
To a newer player it would not be glaringly obvious it was proficient at DPS in the way that Bladesworn or Berserker is constructed.
I never said it was a *bad* DPS, just that it’s overall focus was on more bruiser play styles. Also, it’s a fine DPS, but I don’t believe it’s one of the stronger DPS. Snowcrows does have it as viable but not recommended.
@@KROOF maybe i misunderstood you then, tho it did came across as "this spec is tanky, not a great dps choice"... to me at least.
anyways, its a better dps than berserker and its equally good as soulbeast for example (only 1k below), which is considered one of the stronger dps i believe.
Snowcorws not having it listed as recommended doesnt really do anything. Thats like blindly following and believing a minmax/speed run oriented website, not sure if that makes sense when talking about specs, specially when directed towards newer players, but also in general really. Because, besides not being listed as recommended, numbers do suggest it is one of the stronger dps, its not really an opinion thing, unless you consider less than 1k below soulbeast benchmark is not strong, i guess.
sure, meta can always change, but since you touched on certain specs and their position in the current meta (like DH for example), i thought id mention it.
@@KROOF only because it’s under viable, the 37k benchmark still puts it in the upper half of classes right now
See, this is the problem I have with the game design. When you say things like "you're not bringing any boons to the group" it makes me think what's the damn point of supports then? Design dps so they grant minimal boons to themselves, and give supports options on what variety of boons to grant to the party.
Heh??
Certain DPS do, some are more pure DPS.
Support tends to do a lot more healing while also providing boons.
is it boy or girl talking?
Pat?
Mech is useless in wvw. Give me a break with the crying about mech lol.
Try better.
