Lily.1935 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Mesmer.... Honestly the answer to all questions usually leads towards mesmer.... All paths lead to mesmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rng.1024 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'd have to say mesmer. Mostly because of the amazing 600 range pull you can do with it, but it can also provide group swiftness (which is always nice). In addition to that it can create light fields, which when combo'd with your phantasm will clear off a ton of conditions in a short amount of time. Even better when traited, as your phantasm will be a decent bodyblock that destroys enemy projectiles all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulbrew.7165 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Its sad you don like guardian, they have the best focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Mesmer. There's a pull and a phantasm that does respectable damage and reflects.Your other possibilities are pretty bad unless it's for PvP:Necromancer - I don't think anyone uses it for PvE over torch, dagger, or warhornGuardian - single target now but high damageElementalist - usually offhand dagger is used if not warhorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josif.2015 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 @bara yaoi.3824 said:so which class has better focus, mesmer elementalist or necromancer? Elementalist. You get 6 great skills with the weapon that give you a lot of utility. I say 6 because the fire focus skills are not as good as the other attunement focus skills and need to be reworked. Mesmer's focus has good CC, guardian's focus is the only weapon that gives them a block skill and necromancer's focus has boon removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneQR.7412 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Ele has the best focus. The vest class atm that could wield a focus is mesmer.Guard focus feals good dmg and has blocks.Mesmer focus has some utility but the phantadm on it is crappy and ele has a full roster of defensive skills on it. Even a dmg immunity skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conti.4679 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 What's the point of making a weapon like The Binding of Ipos if a necromancer can't make a good use for it? Fix this ANET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider.7849 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 To add to what others have said, it would be between Mesmer and Elementalist. Mesmer uses focus primarily for PvE (raids, dungeons, fractals, etc - not as great in open world though where mobs are more spread out). Mesmer can use focus for very niche situations in WvW - mostly centered around group play for pulling people off walls/reflecting, but it's overall I wouldn't recommend it in a PvP setting.Elementalist uses focus primarily in PvP situations (fireweaver, some core builds run it also). I would stop and ask yourself what your primary game mode is and which class you enjoy more as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobber.6348 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Elementalist imo.I mean just by looking at it, it has several utility options and 10 spells so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumouta.4985 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Focus for necro is used on power reaper builds. In PvE it's not superb but in PvP skill 5 is a nuke. Skill 4 can be used at any time to fill the shroud bar partially and put some vuln on enemies. I'd say go with nec if you like playing power reaper.

thepenmonster.3621 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If you're going to use a focus remember that the only acceptable skins are Adam, Ambrosia, Asef's Brew, and Courage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
