According to a list by GAMERS DECIDE, some of the top PvE builds in Guild Wars 2 include the Power Mechanist, Condition Mirage - Mesmer, Power Reaper - Necromancer, Power Renegade - Revenant, and Power Deadeye - Thief1.
Another source, UTPLAY, lists the Renegade as an S-tier build for PvE grinding, with other strong options including the Firebrand, Scourge, Soul Beast, Mirage, Spellbreaker, and Deadeye2.
It’s important to note that these are just suggestions and what works best for you may vary depending on your playstyle and preferences. It’s always a good idea to experiment with different builds to find what works best for you.
DPS:
There are several classes in Guild Wars 2 that can be built for high DPS. Some of the top DPS builds include the Virtuoso (Mesmer), Bladesworn (Warrior), Spellbreaker (Warrior), Scourge (Necromancer), and Catalyst (Elementalist)1.
The Virtuoso is a mesmer specialization that focuses on ranged damage and crowd control. It has high burst damage and can provide quickness to its allies1.
The Bladesworn is a warrior specialization that focuses on melee damage and mobility. It has high burst damage and can provide might to its allies1.
The Spellbreaker is a warrior specialization that focuses on melee damage and control. It has high sustained damage and can provide boon removal to its enemies1.
The Scourge is a necromancer specialization that focuses on condition damage and support. It has high sustained damage and can provide barrier to its allies1.
The Catalyst is an elementalist specialization that focuses on melee damage and support. It has high burst damage and can provide might to its allies1.
Support:
In Guild Wars 2, support classes can be divided into two types: those that provide boons and those that provide healing. Boon supports focus on providing buffs to their allies while heal supports focus on healing their teammates1.
Some of the best support classes for PvE content include the Druid-Ranger, Firebrand-Guardian, and Scourge-Necromancer2. The Firebrand (Guardian) is also considered one of the best boon support classes, along with the Catalyst (Elementalist), Mirage (Mesmer), and Renegade (Revenant)1.
The 2 most important boons requested in instanced content will be Quickness & Alacrity.
The Renegade (Revenant) is considered one of the best alacrity support builds in Guild Wars 2. This build provides its subgroup with permanent alacrity, 25 stacks of might, and fury while dealing as much power damage as possible1.
Another option for an alacrity support build is the Druid (Ranger). This build provides its subgroup with alacrity, 25 stacks of might from Grace of the Land, healing, frequent condition cleanse, and permanent fury and regeneration2.
The Firebrand (Guardian) is considered one of the best quickness support builds in Guild Wars 2. This build provides permanent quickness and high fury and might uptime to its subgroup. It also brings a massive amount of healing and a wide range of defensive utility including aegis, protection, resistance, resolution, stability, heavy condition cleanse, and projectile destruction1.
Another option for a quickness support build is the Scrapper (Engineer). This build provides good DPS along with 100% quickness and superspeed uptime to five targets. It fills the role of quickness source for its subgroup and can generate some protection with Reconstruction Field2.
If you're looking to make a DPS or support build for PVP or PVE then I highly recommend MetaBattle and Hardstuck. While most build guides will provide you the optimal gear and skills, it's worth noting that you need to find a build that suits your playstyle, is fun, and that you're good at. I typically choose slightly different weapons/stats/passives than what's shown in most build guides because they suit my playstyle better while still being viable.
