sylvarixreaper: reaper in C ? yeah sure buddy

dashrofficial: So, I started playing Untamed and the sustain/dmg ratio is insane. I don't know about A-tier (I know it's your list, no worries I listened to the explanation), since I can almost keep 20-24k sustained dmg in the overworld while basically having the best sustain is nuts. If you can play that class, you're basically invincible. I understand your point though. Like Lord Hizen said, it's definitely difficult to play. It has high apm and is very error prone. However, if you know how to play it, I would put it on the top tier of the S tier. Or at least next to Herald. Thanks for the list. Keep up the good content. I'd love to see a build from you where you talk about a class that could rival the sustain from Untamed. I like Lord Hizen but I'd love to see a build from you and not a build that you have from him if you know what I mean. I'm currently looking for something similiar as Untamed (not playtype wise) that might be difficult to learn but if you can do it, you'd be as strong as an Untamed in terms of dps and sustain ratio. If you would do it, thank you!

Royal.Grand.Majesty: TLDR; Go Rev for OW success. (2 Specs at S tier, 1 spec at A tier)

navyt9862: Oh boy, I already see some pvp in the comments XD Gave a like! The only additional disclaimer I'd add is for the new players to look up lists tailored specifically for them, because I would not recommend unexp players choosing harb over reaper (unless they're really ready for it)

evandickerson2164: I’d argue untamed would be S tier. With dual maces and hammer you can get good sustain and high damage. Especially with carnivore trait you can sustain well with dual maces/hammer quickness buff. I’m not really sure why you didn’t list it has S tier because you said nothing bad about it. It has strong damage, sustain and interrupts pet variety for any situation.

danielz1804: Is the Mechanist really that good for open world?

MageSkeleton: there's NO WAY the core classes are just "always" terrible and near pointless to play. You can get good damage numbers and survivability with the core classes. And it's important that they be at least "decent" because F2P players only exclusively have two slots and can only use the core classes.

i've used the "Meta" warrior, revenant, guardian, and necro. they suck. i don't know who's opinions they were but i'd have to examine those builds and change them to make them work. And i mean their core and/or elite specialization suggestions.

AnDi-tx2xh: I would really advise you to check out Hizen's reaper build, i got the feeling it would change your view on its self buffing capabilities. You didn't show any footage of playing 1 so wasn't sure which build you were referring to. Condi reaper has a lot of boons and sustain, even power has a lot of sustain now because they changed 1 of the traits in reaper to heal you while in shroud. Not to mention the ease of use and how beginner friendly it is. I would have put it higher in the list. But i do respect your opinion.

Inugamiz: Ok I can agree with this list.

AnubiusLive: Nice list. Liked

shakeweller: In the open world, Untamed is much better than Soulbeast, mainly because you are not as dependant on Axe5 to deal damage and you can burst every 5 seconds. On most mobs the Soulbeast burst is overkill and then you're standing there with your mediocre sandbag rotation. Untamed can also let the pet tank for you and has a combo field. Your elite skill is free as well as most of your utility, you can easily pick 3 stunbreaks if you want to. Another bonus is that 90% of what you do is AoE. The cleave is massive which is really nice.

youkee74: That is funny how people get so butthurt over tier list. It is syrma opinion. He can be right or wrong. That is why os called OPINION!!!

Exirock: For me there is no S tier, cause if they S tier mean they provide everything and are are unkillable and they not, i will point out that Druid,reaper,spellbreaker can easily go A cause they can survive fights, now for example holo for me its a C cause all he has to offers is damage and he squishy although u make a few tweaks in exchange of dmg to have a more tanky build to survive, but one thing i do always is ignore lists cause you gotta play what you want and feel good playing it cause not all "meta" classes are for everyone.

briankutz4471: Are your current solo dps benchmarks on golem and with food/utilities and cele gear? Also what are your benchmarks for the other classes not mentioned?

cresentj: i dont really play the other classes as I most just play the story mode on my main. So its nice to hear about what the other classes can do.

after recently unlocking spear on my elementalist. Ive just been playing catalyst spear. Not sure how it works but the jade spheres immediately lvl up the spear 5 etchings so its really easy high aoe damage. And due to having 4 jade spheres and 4 etchings (1 per element) you can basically just spam that 1 combo haha. And then just summon a couple glyph elementals to tank for you. Really fun and what I thought staff ele would be like back in the day.

bimchi: can you post your catalyst build pls?

butzfam0: Were you thinking power or condi for that Herald S-tier rating? The vid clip showed Mallyx?

Scion.2091: core ranger maybe higher cuz pet can tank, Lick Wounds (Revive your pet at your location to revive you) and can have highest range weapons (1500)

workingandcommenting: Untamed is S tier tbh, its just that good able to solo everything in the game while dealing a lot of damage

fraenkybalboa: und welche klasse würdest du empfehlen, um damit JEDEN content solo zu spielen? pve, pvp, 2v2, 3v3, wvw :D

diwi7552: my beloved necro so low :c but okay, maybe i give rev a try here and then. c:

Geciyodum.Ugradim: I liked it before even watching it, it's the video I've been waiting for. Thank you.

Scion.2091: "the staff mirage is extremely easy it's the most easy build on this list" and just middle A tier? I think maybe just ranger builds (with elite spec) are better, because Lick Wounds (Revive your pet at your location to revive you). You also made a video with the title "EASIEST Solo Build in Guild Wars 2" about Staff Mirage. High range 1200 and u also can use Utility skills like Mirror Images and Illusionary Ambush(which is very important in GuildJen build guide btw) which Breaks Enemy Targeting. And with some changes in the equipment and Signet of Inspiration ur boon duration is so high that u can have over 90% kinda Superspeed uptime with Relic of Speed, which makes u so fast that u can kite easily and maybe dont need to dodge some damage anymore cuz u can easy run out of the danger zone. Do u remember i asked u "Do we agree that boons are the real carry in the game?" You agreed. So why not go the full route? An interesting test would also be to swap out dueling for Illusions and to try if u can maintain perma Alacrity and also Quickness with traits like Persistence of Memory, Phantasmal Haste and Malicious Sorcery. for clone generation u can use Mirror Images every 20 seconds with alacrity that summons 2 clones to make up for Deceptive Evasion in dueling.

hiLyne: ah yes the only thing that matter..

dayspoint5733: You need to learn how to play a reaper, dude. The golem isn't a good testing instrument for PVE.

Reaper, no matter if condi or power, is still the top in PVE. Sustainability (TWO HP bars), damage, easy to play, you name it. The only con a reaper has is low stability, but if you know how to play you should be ok. Just because you don't know how to play it doesn't mean it's not good.
