youssefibrahim5496: No matter what people tell me scourge will always be my favorite elite spec and the best

DroChaku: Best is the one you like playing the most.

SHIA_5URPRISE: With so many things being A or even S-tier it's tough to know what's actually at the top of it all. Usually tier lists have more of a curve where B and C are the largest.

Surely GW2 isn't THAT balanced to where practically everything is top tier. Is it?

Buran01: I would downgrade to A 2/3 of the S pecs. In PvP/WvW zerg you won't require more than 4-5 of those specs and in instanced content the numbers are even lower.

Average1212: I think the last patch did a good job of bringing some non VOE specs back up to the top. COnduit is still over performing but seeing as it offers nothing but dps and there are very few people pulling off top dps with it in the real world it isn't really an issue. Since the patch I have seen 2 conduits on top of the charts running convergences and 3-4 metas per day. ANd they weren't gapping everyone like they were prepatch.

tNuOcCaFrUmS: as a firebrand main, i approve this tier list

thin_retro_god1570: I really need to pick up VoE so I can try out Amalgam on my engi

HEZ63: Such personal lists do not make much sense to me and every new balancing patch anyway always changes things. As long, as you have fun playing your chars, who cares?

I like my Amalgam, because of it's flexibility, but still my Mechanist too, as it simply works more stable, especially in WvW. Necromancer Ritualist is nice for PVE, but a disaster in PVP, while a Harbinger or Scourge does this job better and my main Necro still is a Reaper. Troubadour is for my taste too much close combat only (sword or spear), nice in a group as DSP supporter maybe, if someone plays an additional Guardian, to keep you alive, but I still prefer my (dagger plus sword or pistol) Virtuoso more, (not to speak of all the annoying, endless babbling and "musical" noises all the time and the kitschy, really ugly pink elements in the air) especially for Meta's and solo PVE. Conduit is nice, but still too easily killable for my taste, but at least better than the Vindicator, Paragon is interesting in a group, but soon boring too, same with Galeshot and the Evoker I completely dislike. Kitschy animals jump around you and are nerving you visually, nevertheless you easily are one-hitted from almost every meta boss.

Similar things concerning all other classes and elite specs. Also depending a lot on your playing style. What works for one great, can be the wrong choice for another one, alone concerning your movements.

The new elite specs have been a nice addition, but they not necessarily are the best choices, just some more options...

EtherealRune: Why do we act surprised about Guadian "being good"? It has been Anets favorite child since launch, lmao.

It's okay to admit and acknowledge that. No need to argue.

frokenbock2072: Обожаю смотреть твои рейтинги, спасибо

angelofarias9389: Olá Syrma parabéns pelo excelente vídeo, cara para mim a sua tier list correta é bem isso mesmo, abraço!!!

AngryTeeRexYT: Ritualist is WAY too OP for every game mode. It absolutely CARRIES in WvW too!!!

tim806011: I really think weaver needs a overhaul. The dual attacks and traits are too underwhelming

acedesventura: I'll be really crossed if all new elite specs are the only specs in S tier

nickeling2776: I have a small problem with the Mesmer in Open World Solo, as his survivability and damage depend so heavily on the clones. Some champions completely ignore the clones, making the Mesmer very squishy, ​​while others kill the clones so quickly that you can't keep up with their creation and can rarely shatter three. Champions that summon adds can also be a problem, since the cleave damage isn't that high. At least that's my impression. Therefore, I've switched back to the Condition Berserker. The exact same opponents were no problem.

VishnuPrimeX: How do you menage to play Specter efficiently in PvE? I tried it and the fact that it has virtually no cleave, made it not very pleasant.

Also, Paragon is F tier (for the noises)

fraenkybalboa: Hast Du auch die vom Januar Patch aktualisierten Builds "for all game modes" für jede Klasse? :D

Gerald_Tarrant: Guardian has always been Anet's love child. That they removed the 30% symbols damage trait from Zeal traitline is a walking-on-water level miracle.

jurojinyagami4957: Can you make video about bladesworn and in what encounter he do do kinda biggest dmg? Saw already it few times in fractals/ strikes, and ppl do like 50k and 90% of this dmg is 1 skill. I saw your old video about it, but seems like it had way lower dmg.

Koakoa45: I started playing Ritualist along with my Virtuoso. Both and pop 40 plus crits with my dps around 27-32K. Things die, I don't and makes the game fun for me.

JH-vb1wo: My scrapper wvw build still clapped the few hours we played Friday and sure amalgam is solid but scrapper feels better for me less using the F 1-5 skills i didn’t enjoy havin to use those often on amalgam to make good combos happen in wvw so I’ve been stickin with scrapper right now

JH-vb1wo: I agree with untamed. Realy like untamed from what I’ve played recently it might be a pve class I start putting more time into since my main pve character reaper now has 100 percent world completion and most story done

hikaruyuugure6900: I feel like if reapers grandmaster gave the group quickness and not just itself.... it would go to S but it can not be a alac or quickness boon dps.

Scourge I feel just needs its non healing builds buffed for dif game modes. In any mode a scourge just running around in max healing power / vitality gear spamming barriers on people is extremely welcome. Might not be the best healer for the upper 1% of raiders but most groups benefit from having a scourge cover for the players that have their dps rotation down and do high dps but may not be so familiar with mechanics. Most players are not the upper 1% and honestly none of the content requiers a perfect meta grp with perfect rotations and perfect knowledge of mechanics IMO.

jkcrews: A Tier is Top Tier. S Tier has always meant, the one (insert thing) that cannot be beat by any other (insert thing). It's not meant to have so many.

Endrosz: There really should've been 2 tier lists, one for PvE and one for PvP/WvW. So many A/B ratings hide a great gap between the usability in those game modes.
