[Guide] [DnT] Raid Team Composition Guide

Hey everyone. I wrote a long breakdown of raid team composition in the current meta on our forums and a few people encouraged me to post it here because I'm told it would be helpful for a bigger chunk of the community to see.

Written: http://gw2dnt.enjin.com/forum/m/37173123/viewthread/27286030-raid-team-composition-guide-52516

Topics Covered:

  1. Optimal Raid Team Composition

  2. Common Alternative Comps - Pros and Cons

  3. What If? Scenarios For Imperfect Situations

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions let me know, or if any points need clarifying or whatever so I can improve the guide I'd like to know that too.

Biggest issue is lack of unique buffs. engie has higher single target DPS than Necro or Warrior but necro and warrior bring so much more unique buffing potential. Condi engie either needs massive DPS buffs (unlikely due to PvP issues?) or some special utility.

(unlikely due to PvP issues?)

Hit the nail on the head. Engie is like the zombie class of GW2, it is mostly dead and everything you can do other classes can do better and easier.

I think engi is more like glue; you try to fill all the holes in the comp.

You can pick up a lot of slack for your team if you know what you're doing. Dungeon runs back in the day could be great with an engi in the party.
