In your experience, what is the most effecttive damage dealer in CA, TA,tobs, and GvG.

I don't mean things like an air spiker with such and such skills, or any specific builds; I want to know things like if a spiker ele or an axe warrior or whatever is a better dmg dealer IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, THIS IS NOT MENT TO START A FLAME WAR!!!

Well thanks in advance.

One thing about Guild Wars, when asking a question you really need to be specific because the game is so multi-faceted.

The question is so broad it's unanswerable.

There really is no clear cut answer to that, imo. Axe wars dish out MASS damage...but are so frequently countered that other times it's near 0 dps. Ranger spikes do wonders...until someone shouts "Shields Up!" and the damage is in the toilet.

I personally enjoy playing an axe war, a ranger (usually spiker, but trapper today just for a change), mesmers (who can deal some serious damage, but often rely upon the opponent killing themselves...I can't count the number of time I've /danced due to the overhexing that would kill me in just a couple of swings/casts), and monks. I've seen eles do outstanding damage, but can't play 'em well myself. Necros can tear it up and be tough as nails too.

Really, every class can pump some intense dps with the right build/situation. No clear "most effective" at all.

Yeah, I kinda realized that after I posted.

Okay lets try this:

During your playing waht do you find is the best type of damage dealing: reliable Dps(i.e. non-spike ranger or hammer warrior) , Degen, spike, condition spam, conditional dmg hexes(i.e. spiteful spirit and backfire), etc.

That might be a better question.

Uh, the most RELIABLE is a combination of degen, dps and spike.
That's the hardest to counter, but it still can be of course. In a team situation you should have some of each as well as anti-counter if you're running a balanced build.

I mean for a single char., I need a good dmg dealer for my guilds build.

We have all the def. and counters worked out, just need a good dmg dealer because we need some more killing potential.

Usually an air spiker would be a good damage dealer. The only problem would be facing against someone with prot spirit on and other prot skills. This is from my experience. Degen build would work good to but I'll go air ele over degen.
