PvP Builds

PvP builds for Guild Wars 2. A wide variety of meta, great and good GW2 builds and guides for all classes.

Meta = most common and highest performing builds especially in tournament play.

Great = top tier builds you'll often encounter in ranked, these builds have a good chance of becoming meta in the future.

Good = somewhat niche builds that can still be effective based on team comp, player skill and rating bracket, but generally they are outclassed by others in their role.

Section builds are up to date for the March 19, 2024 patch.
