Important!
Please check out our Raiding Requirements, understand what we are asking and requiring before making a post!
What Group Comp We Using?
Due to the nature of the game in how the professions work, we need to have a specific group comp for raids. For example, we can’t have two full Magi druids, as that is too much healing. One is good, while the other druid is in a more zerker or condi build and that’s about it for rangers- no more is needed. Each profession brings something to the table and we want to bring as much utility along with strong dps to find the right fit to be successful in raids.
Group Template:
- 2 Warriors
2 Druids (Only 1 specific geared healer/One more offensive healer)
1 Mesmer
1 Necro
1 Guardian
1 Rev
2 Ele
Or:
1 Ele/1Engi
1 Ele/1 Theif
What Does Each Profession Bring?
As stated, each profession brings something specific to the table. Here is a list if you aren't aware of other professions and what they can help bring to the raid. (Assuming these professions are all using meta builds)
- Warriors: Might/Precision and Ferocity Buff givers, Excellent DPS. (+Empower Allies Trait).
- Druids: Not 1 specific meta, they need to be able to adapt to the group when needed but mostly fill the role of a healer or a more offensive healer, giving out much needed druid and ranger buffs (Spotter, Grace of the Land).
- Mesmer: Alacrity and Quickness Upkeep.
- Necro: Great Condi DPS. Boon Stripping and Condi Transfer.
- Guardian: Protection Upkeep.
- Rev: Buffs, Boon Upkeep/Duration Increase/Boon Stacking/More Defensives
- Ele: Excellent Power DPS. Can be a healer, depends on what the group needs.
- Engi: Condi DPS, not in a great place right now. They don’t bring much to the table compared to others. They are a jack of all traits, but master of none. Not really needed, can easily be replaced by other classes instead. Basically only needed for very specific things.
- Thief: Good power DPS, Cons: They have the worst survivability (squishy), not much group utility.
