Vishnuification: My man is a true tierlist enjoyer

makimera: Love the list, basicly when i play this game, im normaly just super confused and since i don't have the best reaction time, i normaly just push all buttons :D

albertthonius9407: Now this tier list what i wanted as newcomer

p-dingo: I love these kind of tier list, they're always fun!

celeswylder748: So far your immortal catalyst build is what I'm best with and I used to be terrible with Ele. Now I can solo PoF legendary bounties lol.

marcelengels1079: Thanks for these lists, I have been playing GW2 on and off for 3 or 4 years now and my main has always been a condi scourge. It is indeed a bit spammy, but it is so stuck in my brain that it feels natural for me (upkeeping the shades etc) and difficult to change to something else (my 52 year old brain doesn't pick up things as it used to

EpiCJumP1UGmt2: Just watched the entire tierlist and i have to say you can clearly tell that you read the critique in the comments from the previous tierlists and improved on those parts!

MyOrangeString: To be noted (if I understood the intention well) this list is for structured PvE (fractals, strikes, raids...), NOT for open world.

DocSardo: Even the pistol/pistol Deadeye is not "hands off", but it still is one of the easiest. I suppose you could just autoattack pistol 3 (Unload); however, I hit several other buttons when needed, including F1 mark on cooldown (or on mob switch after a kill), Haste on cooldown (or whatever other utility you may use), heal skill, condition removal signet, break bar skills - Basilisk Venom elite, Pistol 4, weapon swap to Spear 4 -all depending on how much break bar is required. You could argue that you wouldn't need to do some of these in a group, but I still find in real situations that I need to use all of them while grouping and soloing. That being said, still at the top of the list for ease of play.

DocSardo: I would be interested in a video on best LI builds for WvW zerging. I'm currently using a full Minstrel staff/GS support harbinger that is working very well for me (mainly just interested in keeping up the participation for reward tracks), but I would call it more of an easy but spammy build - lots of button presses but not a real rotation per se. Just hit staff and utility buttons (mostly elixirs with a couple of wells) off cooldown and go into shroud frequently for a few secs. Does no damage but gives out a decent amount of boons with some healing. But I would be interested in more of a damage build that is LI for WvW zerging, if that is even possible.

Aexeq: Really looking forward to the low intensity Chrono build!

I just returned to the game and I always liked Chrono a lot.

Is the low intensity build for Chrono Power or Condi? I hope it's Power so I can just use a Spear in Fractals.

Also I assume the build either provides Quickness or Alacrity by default with extra buttons or can just change one trait to be able to?

vezrien: Hey man, do you think you could make a tierlist for homestead upgrades? Both from the crown store and otherwise? I just unlocked my homestead and not sure where to focus my efforts first to min/max returns.

330DKNY: If you are not going to rank them by dps why even have a list. Just tell everyone to auto attack for 5K and call it a day.

lambdadelta7234: Im a low intensity/simplified build enjoyer and have been using p/p deadeye and reaper as my go to specs for this for a while, but I did not realize so many other elite specs had similar potential. I know I've tried making some of them work in the past, but couldn't figure out a good way to do so (i don't always look up guides for things, as experimenting with builds on my own is one of my favorite things to do in the game). This tier list has reinvigorated my interest to try again and I'll be sure to check out more of your low intensity builds videos, thank you.

Fabricio_Sendas: Good job o7

ExtraSweetPineapple: I just wanted to say I so appreciate these low intensity builds; for people with (not going into details) 'nerve damage/disease' - and no, certainly not looking for pity - these builds can truly make a difference and help them to feel/stay 'relevant' in the game they love so much. Thank you!

(Core Hammer Guardian e.g. has been a blessing for me.)

relvilian: Would love a low intensity leveling build but also something that I could take into PvP if I dare.

Bibbls: Just started playing GW2 and I recently came across your videos and I've really been enjoying all your content so far! Keep up the good work! Do you have any recommendations on what profession and elite spec to play for someone who's looking to learn the game and all the content it has to offer?

Mooniowo: troubi is an amazing low intensity healer :) you press 2 buttons at the start of the fight and give all offensive buffs for a long time in a high radius

after that its just generate notes by spamming your heal button and rifle 2 and slowly use your skills that give buffs :)

contra138: Thank you so much for lists like these!

freguesyas: i want the best dual wield swords solo low intesity build would you recommend ?

x1435: Love the categories! I often enjoy playing after a stressful day at work, so LI builds get the more use for me

haque3791: This is my kind of video. have been playing Power Rifle Mechanist and having a blast with it thanks to your previous LI build. Keep it up, good Sir.

SierraMike8633: This was such a helpful video. I have tended to play relatively spammy builds (Tempest; Scrapper; Scourge). I really only have played Amalgam so far and it is of course kind of spammy. I wanted to try all of the new specializations but preferred to have a low intensity build on them so I could play something where I could not pay full attention. I now have a better sense of specializations to avoid and some to embrace. I'd never have considered Antiquary or Paragon before watching this. You always deliver great ideas.

merakimerakimeraki: would love a “most fun to play” tier list!
