State of the Meta Comp
Meta team comps have revolved around a Shoutbow warrior for superior party condi cleanses and Thief (D/P or S/D) for superior roaming capabilities. 3 celestial (mobile point holders all capable of excellent AoE damage) and 2 berserker (single-target roaming) has been a staple set up for many months. In recent times the third celestial has been substituted for a third berserker depending on team preference.
Celestial builds include:
- Shoutbow Warrior
- Cele Rifle Engi
- D/D Ele (Falling out due to incoming nerfs)
Berserker builds include:
- D/P Thief (chosen now for the group stealth bursts over S/D)
- DPS Medi Guard (chosen as a hard counter to thieves on the opposite team)
- Shatter Mesmer
Optional Slot
Teams have 2 options: Celestial or Berserker. Choosing one over the other dictates whether your team is 3/5 Celestial or 3/5 Berserker respectively.
3/5 Celestial
- Teams are free to stack Engineers and Warriors, taking a 2nd one for this slot.
D/D Elementalists are slowly becoming less dominant in the current meta, but they are still great options for the final Celestial Slot. Celestial Staff Ele is also a good choice.
3/5 Berserker
- Triple zerker comps are gaining more and more ground.
Shatter Mesmer - the great burst and offensive party utilities make Mesmer a valuable asset to the team. It also brings superior map control and party mobility with
Hammer Guardian can be stacked on the team, bringing a 2nd one is a viable option.
Some less common/situation choices include:
Power Ranger - Ranger is a rare sight in the meta, but this build makes some appearances now and then mostly on Legacy of the Foefire thanks to the map's lack of LoS breaking objects, providing a perfect environment for longbow.
- Power Necro
- Fresh Air Ele
Notes
- Because of the spammable AoE condition cleansing provided by Shoutbow Warriors, Condition specs have no chance of becoming part of the meta.
