whoknocks.4935 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Scourge definitely, if he is good obviously you have to 2v1 all the times or it is nearly impossible to beat one in a 1vs1 scenario (and don't say power rangers deadeye kills him easily because they may kill scourge but they are trash in any other circumstance and don't fit the meta right now).Second maybe firebrand holding a point, unkillable 1vs1, but you won't die either... you waste just precious time.Warrior third position because might be strong overall 1vs1 but if one of the professions above come to him he has to leave the holding point especially against scourge once resistance ends, he is incredibily tanky against all the classes, but usually people come and 2vs1 a warrior pretty soon.

It's definitely possible mainly with mirage, druid or sb. Firebrand can hold a point well but it wouldn't be able to decap a contested point so for that reason, and others, it shouldn't be considered a 1v1 class. Being outnumbered and kiting around a point applies to all classes not just warrior, but I agree that it is a top tier dueller. I still reckon mirage trumps sb as a 1v1er due to its superior mobility and burst potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant.7206 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Mirage is currently the best duelist build right now. Combination of high damage, high evades, stealth, and an endless supply of clones, it's quite potent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zintrothen.1056 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Definitely Mesmer.I suspect Anet will actually smarten up and buff Weaver sword damage as well as provide some other methods of condition cleansing and fixing general issues with Weaver.Kappa.

Combination of high damage, high evades, stealth, and an endless supply of clones, it's quite potent. Pretty much. Almost unbeatable in good hands if the skill is equal, and doesn't need any special effort to be played effectively. Plus if the things go wrong has uncany disengaging abilities.

tartarus.1082 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'd say either Druid or mirage. Mirage has a lot of evasion and a strong burst, but imo the disengage potential from sword and blink are what make it especially powerful and allows it to reset. Sure we have portal but using it to save yourself is a huge hit to rotational pressure.Druid on the otherhand can kite and heal like crazy so they can play the sustain game, plus they have poison so they can wear some builds down.

Yukio blaster.9082 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ill say holosmith exactly simply because i see the pro players swapping to him boyce (main warrior top 3 warrior currently if i don't say he is the top 1 SB) swapped to holo, and misha the best mirage in the game currently is playing holo in most of his games and in a 1v1 aspect zan(holo) destroyed misha(mirage) in 1v1 multiple times . the only counter to a holo is the necromancer with all that boon corruption but if a holo cc him when in stealth the 1v1 will end before the necro cast one spell .

coro.3176 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Going to say Mesmer(Mirage). The number of evades and on-demand dodge/stunbreaks combined with its burst potential (that it can unload from stealth!) put it far above any other class in terms of 1v1 dueling.If I see one roaming in WvW, I'm very hesitant to engage as it is a fairly unwinnable fight unless I catch them off guard and they don't know what they're doing on the class.

Hitman.5829 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 In the hands of an experienced player mesmer is immortal 1 vs 1.in the hands of an elite player, mesmer is a God champion with determined buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknicrofia.2604 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Assuming equal skill level, nothing beats a Mesmer 1v1.The only way to kill a Mirage 1v1 is to outplay it by a significant margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynz.9437 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Mirage is best 1v1. Given same skill level only reason why mirage loses is own mistakes.Followed by druid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
