While being very effective at Condi DPS, especially through the use of burning, it is a hybrid between a Support/Healer role and a DPS role. It once was a star, now it is surpassed by others. While Spellbreakers are very good damage dealers, their real strength lies in their ability to reflect and block incoming attacks. These are considered damage professions, however, they usually need a little bit of extra support to rival those top ones in the A or S tier. Additionally, they can cause a lot of confusion and daze, which helps them deal even more damage. Usually played as a Condi DPS, Mirages have a great damage potential. It used to be a superstar in the S tier, several nerfs brought it down to earth, though. The saving grace for all Engineers when it comes to damage. This is a HUGE step up from the core Thief, making it very simple to use as well as very efficient damage-wise. Not as Supreme tier as it once was, though. SoulbeastĪ significant boost to the core Ranger, Soulbeast is really quite the beast when it comes to damage. Usually played with longbow and greatsword, Dragonhunter is a great damage dealer, capable of doing both melee and ranged DPS. Make no mistake, these are certainly very capable and polished professions. While only the best belong to the A tier, these are not quite as exceptional as those in the S tier. This is considered to be the top, right after the S tier. This is a powerhouse, usually focused on Power damage rather than Condi (as Weaver mostly is). Perhaps only that it lacks any sort of cleave, so it really is a niche class for single target damage. Nothing else to say about this one, really. The highest single target damage dealer in the game, period.
It has very high DPS as well as high sustainability. Mostly played as a shortbow condition DPS (it also has a support role). This class offers one of the highest DPS while sacrificing a lot of sustainability and HP. The almighty weaver sits on the throne along with other S tier damagers. The S tier is where the Supreme professions are. And probably won’t fade out in the near future.īear in mind that this Tier may be subject to change as ArenaNet releases new updates and balance patches. However, there are some all-stars that never faded out. The DPS Meta in Guild Wars 2 changed a lot throughout the years, especially with the releases of new expansions and their elite specializations.
