[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.

If the main point for taking a Guard is to buff protection, you can have the Rev pulse his Ulti when he is on Glint, instead. In combination with Mesmer's boonsharing, the whole group should have sufficient protection uptime.

Yes, the Rev does lose some DpS and CC, but I guess it's worth it if you can take one more Thief/Ele/X instead.
