if you cant pvp you should play a piss easy build

suggestions:

condi stealth mesmer (rabid, staff scepter/torch)
trap ranger (settler, sword/dagger axe/torch)
minion necro (soldier/sentinel, easiest build ever)

There ain't much info out atm so check our forums for a more concrete time.

it's baffling that they would introduce a raid hard mode with agony because how do you balance between different agony values? what if not everyone does fractals and has AR? am i meant to exclude people? fuckers

hi hello I've got a question!

My friends convinced me to check out this game again with the addon around the corner and all that. We're all going to start out with new characters and I have a hard time deciding what to roll. Top choice right now is Revenant because I enjoy playing the supporting roles and from what I could gather he seems to be more or less a jack-of-all-trades.
My concrete question is what's the classes drawbacks? I managed to hit max level but stopped playing shortly after, so my memory of important gameplay mechanics is kinda fuzzy. Which important things is the Revenant NOT covering in a group setup? (And what do we want to have covered when running dungeons together? I take it there's still a Guardian-quasi-heals-and-tanks-meta.)

so the revenant acts essentially as a jack of all trades (e: you specifically mention this lol), except perhaps for condi (i have not checked their condi viability but i don't think it's very good) however as a drawback you are limited in which roles you can fulfill at any given time

if you want to heal for your group you'd want ventari, if you want to tank you want jalis, condi mallyx, direct damage shiro, group support glint. it's pretty good at all of those, but you can only pick two at a time

whatever your revenant doesn't cover is what you've chosen to sacrifice in exchange for providing other things, like giving up ventari's healing so you can tank or whatever

for dungeons you want some defensive support (guardian is great for this with walls and aegis and poo poo), offensive support (phalanx warrior for might stacking if you're lazy like me) and damage (i personally like elementalists). revenant provides a group with permanent fury uptime with glint, so if you're running a rev in a dungeon, that's your job. your second legend is shiro if you're selfish or someone else is covering defenses, jalis if you're fighting enemies that have a lot of stuns/knockbacks (you get a pulsing stability AoE), ventari if there's lots of projectiles bumping around (your tablet can block them) and possibly mallyx if there's serious condis flying around and your group needs resistance

I'm trying to decide between making a Warrior or a Guardian. I want a heavy armor class that is p. survivable - my main characters are Ranger and Necromancer, and while I know that nothing will be as tanky as a Necromancer, I'd like something in the same ballpark.

Anyone have a suggestion for which of the two I should make and boost?

warrior is passive survival, if you're just generally getting attacked by stuff you'll heal it all off

guardian is active survival, you have a large amount of defensive skills that are useful in different situations, while also protecting your group

unfortunately i main both and they're both great

you also have to make a revenant so that's 3 character slots just for your heavies

actually you can't. they thought about that too

"Event participation can now time out due to inactivity. If you stop completing objectives in an event, you will eventually receive a message that you are no longer participating in that event, and you will not receive rewards when the event completes. If you begin participating again before the event ends, you will regain your previous participation level immediately."
