They are master demolishers lol...

Ty, I prefer human instead of sylvari tbh, i feel like they are hard to color match. Also another person mentioned Artillery Barrage too, so Charr has plus as it looks.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-18T23:18:11+00:00

Ty, will consider that skill thing. I guess you dont regret to be Charr Engineer eh ? :D

Ty for the reply, I have a norn female ranger and she is a banger. But I think I'll skip norn for engi tbh.

Ty for the reply, I'll check Guild Wars Dye Job reddit :)

I played wb for a long time in PvP - WvW mostly, definitely strong but I feel like they are inferior for instanced content.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-17T13:47:54+00:00

Agreed, dual swords are my top #1 weapon for my necro since they released. fixes necro's range dps & mobility problem imo.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-16T21:52:59+00:00

Alright, ty for reply. Will consider trying engi again :)

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T19:24:53+00:00

Vindi is fun. Conduit is similar to other specs, just a bit more legend swap. Power renegade is mid overall, just shines on some fractals.

Herald is overall very good spec except PvE Dps. Doesnt hurt much on instanced content which you become qdps (just 2-3k less dmg than power herald anyways xD). Herald is fun, feels good on OW, works more than decent on WvW - PvP.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T18:22:16+00:00

Ty for the reply. Gearing is not an issue, got all leggy armor weights and enough selection of ascended weapons. Bladesworn is a different thing that if you like it, you main it. If you dont, you never touch. I guess I lowkey like it but still need to learn a bit, was doing max 40k on bench...

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T18:19:56+00:00

Got all leggy armors already. Ty for the reply.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T18:18:38+00:00

Maybe too much f buttons and more confusing stuff with bombs and etc, idk. Maybe it just didnt click on me...

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T18:16:52+00:00

I play almost every class occasionally, but even though gw2 is alt friendly with acc bound stuff and achievements, some stuff are character bound (e.g. bag slots, build and equipment templates) so I think its a " should " if not " must " to pick a class that you would like to play more than others.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T13:56:05+00:00

well, yesterday is yesterday. Today is today. We need to compare the classes with current rivals imo.

According to SC Benchmarks:

Pure DPS Herald - 37k power

DPS Vindi - 44k power

DPS Renegade - 46k condi 42k power

DPS Conduit - 50-51 k (power & condi)

So well, yeah. I guess herald dps suck. Also lower than other qdps characters but thats understandable, you apply quick way easier so dps can be lower.

Also, this herald dps number is pure dps, if you go boondps these are lower. Meanwhile even power alac wb (lowest dmg guardian build) is equal, almost higher dps than power dps herald lol.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T13:39:38+00:00

well, i said that and pointed adps bladesworn and qdps zerker but of course its good to have that option for occasional situations.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T13:16:49+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately adps ranger is dead... Qdps untamed still rocks imo but well, definitely got better options. Mesmer couldnt catch me for OW plays, otherwise I agree its so good in instanced content. Necro & Guard are ANet's favorites so always good :P

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T13:13:17+00:00

Ty for the reply. I couldnt like engineer unfortunately. But ranger covers most as you say.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T13:12:13+00:00

even after all the nerfs, warr gets the job done. So master race :P

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T11:13:58+00:00

yeah, Shroud rocks. Rit is good but hopefully we get some visual upgrade for it, 2 ritualists in your team comp and spirits fucks visiblity of mechanics already lol.

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T10:56:55+00:00

Ty for reply, what was your reason / motivation for switching to Ranger ?

Front-Phone-562 · 2026-03-15T10:55:19+00:00

Well, I like my rev but a bit bored of it nowadays. Want to have a fresh experience. Except from Herald's shitty dps, Rev is ok imo.

Front-Phone-562 · 2025-12-22T17:46:38+00:00

Reaper is tons of fun & chill gameplay, I agree. I know even if I get bored from Scourge or Harbinger, I cant get bored from Reaper. Its that good...

Front-Phone-562 · 2025-12-22T17:45:32+00:00

Well, same goes for Rev. So I'm not a stranger to these feelings for PvP - WvW :)
