Fotizzile.2041 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I’m not the best player. But I very much enjoy the tanker duelist builds. my main currently is engi but with the nerf to scrapper and my “have to like at least two specs in a profession” scrappers been scrapped lol necros nerf to harbinger is tough, if I get targeted and I don’t have every escape possible I’m dead no question. On top of that the damage isn’t as strong so it doesn’t feel justified to be that squishy. Reaper is solid but I don’t like core or scourge. I’ve played every profession at least once so I have an idea of how they should play but I’m not sure if my lack of effort into certain specs is a main issue. I’ve heard a lot about guardians, warriors, rangers, and Mesmers. guardians and warriors I just can’t survive with idk why but I die like right away and idk why so many warrior builds are duelist cause I find myself dying faster then a ranger or even harbinger. soulbeast is fun, but I haven’t had any luck with untamed despite how much I want it to. Haven’t figured out Mesmer. what do you guys think? What’s ur top 3 tanky professions/specs. All help and advise is strongly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxoglanis.1904 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Easiest to play top 3 tanks are mechanist, bladesworn, core necro. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalisto.5780 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) i played a fair bit of ranger core duelist (valk and zerker), easy and rewarding This bunker mechanist seems braindead and very rewarding and the third one i think it's core burning guard or even burning trapper dh, core burning has more dmg but surviving a plus may be tough, trapper build should be more succesful and with more teamfight power, once you get focused you stealth and go elsewhere in the map, if they let you free cast mid you just gonna kill everybody while still being a decent duelist Edited April 5, 2022 by Khalisto.5780 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Braindead easy and just all around the strongest at camping a node] Second place: Fireweaver [Requires alot of feel and flow, but once you really start to feel it not many builds can get you off a node] third place: Core Valkyrie [Pretty easy once you understand how to setup your crits] Edit: :C its just my humble opinion. :C no need to vote confused 😧 Edited April 6, 2022 by Sahne.6950 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sure fire weaver is better than guardian and prolly ranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotizzile.2041 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 I love fire weaver! But since I don’t feel like playing that hard in pve I save it for only pvp games. i guess I’ll stick with mechanist for my story and start leveling and gearing my ranger.

Crab Fear.1624 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The best duelist for a casual is thief. You can play core and annihalate anyone in your path with dual daggers, if you notice the creation tag, it says deadly in 1 v 1s. If you get tired of playing duelist on thief, you choose daredevil and play decapper and +1 artist, bringing so much value to the team, it's hard to believe we don't have 5 man daredevil ATS. Guess what! If that's not your bag, play deadeye. You are better ranger than a ranger, and if you want a pet bring thieves guild elite. Lastly, if you want to take a break from all of the overpowered elimination of enemies from stealth, outrunning those that want to kill you, and shooting the bad guys from 1500 (ALL CAPITALS) range, then you should consider playing specter. Specter does right what necro did wrong. Also, they displace guardian, holo, rev, ranger, ele, and warrior in every single role. The best part about specter is that they take the first 3 roles of duelist, decapper, and ranger, and then blend it into healer and tank. Look, if you can't absolutely dominate on any thief build you blindly throw together, bud, this game aint for you. But, since I am feeling philanthropic, I'll lend you some advice. Play thief, it is the bestest, most overpowered, spectacular class that takes virtually no skill or IQ of all time. If you can't win on thief, play PVE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in spvp where they cant 1v1 or they lose a ton of value for their team. In wvw they can be dangerous, but in most cases you get the "lemme stealth and try this again" sort of thief. Good thief duelists on the other hand are exceptional players. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenzy.9348 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Mechanist. Core Ranger. Specter. Hot take: Confusion/condi Virtuoso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotizzile.2041 Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Thief is an interesting answer. I thought it had a huge skill cap (not for deadeye or specter tho) I know from fighting good ones that they are very annoying to 1v1 since they always disappear from you. but brain dead is not the word I’d use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bujakaa.1948 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I quite enjoy Spellbreaker. Not sure how easy it is for casual, but he is very useful also for team fights with full counter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not ready to talk about this one. Actually think it's a lovely duelist, but mesmers with muscle memory that says otherwise may disagree.
