Wvw classes

Sooo I was wondering what are the different classes good at in wvw? For example I guess thief is good for roaming cause of invis and blink kiting

Yes, Thief is good for roaming and ganking enemies. Mesmer or Ranger also works for same purpose.

In large zerg vs zerg fights Guardians and Scourges are used a lot, but main rule atm goes - "no medium classes", meaning no thief or ranger or engi. All other classes can be played.

All are situationally good in wvw.

by situationally, i mean, how you tailor their role.

popularly, guards revs necro ele war mes has a role in a zerg.

thief engi ranger has for roaming x havok.

guards for stab resist heal basically taking the slot of revenant and ele. thus allowing a team space for other classes.

war boon strip cc, thus allowing less need for rev boon strip or necro boon strip

rev can replace eles and necros for range pressure also rraited dwarf stance works well with guard f3 skills firebrand.

ele no longer support can focus range pressure with chills static nd meteors. because guards has waters now.

necro barriers and dps range burst and portal. semi replacing mesmers and adding tankiness.

thief - scout. nothing compares.

mes - boons x veil portal. works well with thief, can sub rev or guard for boons, works well with them in melee or range. pulls and moas

engi - does everything

ranger - kills fliers because of long range. good for anti gliders roaming, havok. a class than can 1v1 everyone or 1v5

Not enough support/burst damage. Guardians share boons and have higher stability/protection uptime (also on allies unlike druid) for their party.Druid just sux, thief lacks AoE/range, engi specs get hard countered by boonrip (might turns into weakness = no damage). Not to talk about all of these classes being terrible in initial engage where you drop wells and group support with minimal cast times (f/e bomb -> Dodge thro enemy -> bomb) and in skill-lag.

Druid/thief/engie work in smallscale, roaming and hanging near a zerg but dont expect to be included. Its guardians/necros for the pug masses with a few warriors/eles sprinkled in if you are good on them.
