mercury ranique.2170 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The game is really balanced, so it is impossible to one shot someone. There are some very high dps classes, but they come with a price. Often a long prep to a heavy burst or a high penalty for such a burst, so all classes require skill and practice and in pvp environments you will always have a change to find your match. Having said that, the deadeye (thief specialisation) looks a lot what you want. The thief allready had excellent skills to lurk in the shadows and stealth to hide from view. With a long range riffle and some very strong dps skills, the deadeye becomes the gw2 equivalent of the sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say dps wise higher than warrior in WvWNo. A warrior fighting close range versus an enemy has more dps. The deadeye relies however on burst damage from a distantie (hit and run) while a warrior relies on sustained damage in close combat. It obviously depends on How long you meassure the dps, but that is the point of your question. You want hit and run. Sustained dps is not important. Burst is.

Fluffball.8307 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 IMO a mesmer fits your bill a lot more than a thief. Mesmers tend to be more realistic builds once your gimmick fails, too. Thieves that build around 1-shots are immediately killed when it fails.Edit: Fresh air specter ele would be another fun one to look at if you actually want to learn and not just troll.

It hits very hard via a bunch of insta or pre casts. It's not an easy build to play but it's insanely fun. I don't have any numbers to back it up, but it may be the hardest hitting build in the game in terms of spike damage in a competitive environment if you get a few things to go your way. It's not a gimmick build, but it's very fragile and requires a lot of experience.Edit: I have not watched this, but the ele that made this guide is one of the best ever, so I feel confident posting it anyway :).

Thats a lie lol. Mesmers and Thieves can down someone before they realize whats going on.Don't call people liars, but if you want, do it properly. I said it is impossible to oneshot someone. Some classes can get someone down fast, but it is far from one shot. So my statement is 100% correct and you are the liar. Further. Practised players recognise a mesmer or thieve attack and know how to avoid it. If you can't please go learn to play before you call someone a liar!

No different than "Globaling" people in WoW. Killing them in a second. If you shatter 3 clones on someone and they are downed from full health thats still a 1 shot even though they took 3 hits.

No different than "Globaling" people in WoW. Killing them in a second. If you shatter 3 clones on someone and they are downed from full health thats still a 1 shot even though they took 3 hits. That's what he's talking about; a GOOD player never gets 1 shot'd unless the person takes all the hits without using a single ability. Sure some professions are more susceptible to getting "1-shot'd" but all in all, every single class has that 1 quick button press ability that prevents an insta downed. And if they don't get killed instantly, they can dodge immediately after the burst, enabling a skill cast immediately afterwards to prevent a "2-shot" down.That said, MOST Mesmers can't even "1shot" combo correctly.... their shatter lags a little behind compared to the uber quick Mesmers who make it seem like 5 shatters land all at once. These can actually "1-shot" average players consistently (Silver to Gold rank level). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
