🌓 Guild Wars 2 Best Class For Solo
The Silverwastes is a pretty good gold farming map, if you like roaming around, doing events and enjoy generally relaxed content. You can usually find a group that is farming Silverwastes in the LFG -> Central Tyria -> Squads, and is usually called RIBA (Red, Indigo, Blue, Amber, the name/colours of the keeps in the map).
Second best solo class might be monk or ele depending on the area. E/Mes use earth magic to tank damage and kill, monks use superior(-75 HP) runes to get their health low and use Protective Spirit, Shielding Hands, Shield of Absorption and regen skills to be damn near unkillable(as long as you don't get rended interrupted or hit with lifesteal).
General Builds. Builds meant for general open world play. Useful for general open world and story-mode play, such as events, zerging, map completion, and random shenanigans. These builds typically suggest similar gear to their instanced PvE counterparts (Raids/Fractals/Strikes) for ease of gearing but if you are not worried about this or don't
Warrior has higher burst damage, high health but weakness is the defence side (active and healing). Guardian has good damage, high defence and weakness is low health. I favor more Guardian, but both are good. If enemy is weak, both kills then with easy. If enemy comes stronger, warrior will kill faster.
As for the why: 1. Trailblazers Gear. Condi damage builds lose much less in their damage output from running this or Dire Gear than a power build will for offering comparable toughness and vit via something like Soldier's. 2. Secondary Sustain from traits like Parasitic Contagion, Predator's Cunning or Dance of Death.
Mirage is your best bet. Hizen as a video outlining the open world PVE "best classes". Mechanist, Mirage and Scourge are at the top. They tend to have simple to no required rotations, as opposed to other classes that require extreme piano player keyboard skills in order to pull of the complex rotations involved.
Chrono and deadeye work great at long range. Tempest is mid range and overloads are mostly melee. Soulbeast with only longbow is meh. Condi soulbeast is also good, but it's mid range as well, same with scepter dh, scepter scourge and sb renegade. For groups I'd only use tempest and chrono from this list.
