Escanor.8157 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Guardian or warrior ? I liked the guardian's skills, but I don't know if it does much damage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynder.2509 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It does indeed do a good amount of damage on guardian and is considered one of the meta builds according to snowcrows https://snowcrows.com/raids/builds/guardian/dragonhunter/power/ Warrior greatsword is rarely used because warriors are usually bannerslaves or condi berserkers and the greatsword isn't optimal for banner (double axes are the better here) or condi (greatsword applis no conditions so bow, sword and torch are more advised here). However I like to carry the greatsword on warrior as a backup for either mobility or fastly regenerating health as the berserker heal skill fills the adrenaline bar instantly and the gs berserker skill hits twice so that means you deal twice as much damage and that damage is converted to health.

Davros.9823 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The best DPS classes in PvE that use Greatsword are Guardian and Mesmer. Other classes that have high dps in PvE with greatsword are Ranger and Necro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoGhosts.6790 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Honestly, greatsword is pretty juicy on every class that can use it, in different contexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoid.2568 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I would say reaper as they do most dps with gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Guardian is really good with Greatsword. Ranger is too. Necro is decent, though you'll spend a lot of time in Shroud rather than using your greatsword. Mesmer does okay with Greatsword though it has better options. Warrior is meh with Greatsword, but it provides a lot of mobility which is nice for PvP/WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerdragon.8791 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I agree with most of what's being said. Guardian , ranger, and necro are the premier classes with GS at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My favourite Greatswords are for Mesmers' and Guardians'. My least favourite Greatswords are the ones for Warriors and Rangers. Reaper is not bad, but not too great either. It's a shame though, since _Khrysaor, the Golden Sword_ looks great with my Warrior's colour theme.

Lalary.3561 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Go with Guardian for open PvE contents if you want something easy and effective. But try to switch to other weapon and not sit on GS and auto attack away after spending other 4 GS skills. GS works good on Reaper too but most of DPS will come from Shroud form.
