  1. Condi scourge and condi Chrono both work well too.
  2. To be Lord Hizen just put trailblazer, tormenting runes, and choose the trait parasitic contagion on your scourge. Boom you can solo all the legendary bounties. Even though I love my scourge for the above, if you are pugging... Better off picking something more meta for pugs as you mentioned The class the fits all your criteria though is revenant. Open world: Shortbow offers ranged. You can play a power variant with battle scars that does insane self healing for soloing bounties. You could also play it as trailblazer for a condi solo variant. Both can be as tanky as the scourge listed above. Also, if you want boons.. herald is swimming in them. PVE Fractals: Playing it with diviners to provide alac is basically a must have in every single fractal group. By far one of the easiest roles to pug on. Just check the LFG at any given time. There will be T4/CM groups asking for it. Also, it's super easy to learn to play it at a decent level. Hard to master. But, you can provide great alac uptime and CC with little practice. PVE Raids: Power alac above is only 10 man source for raids. Due to the strength of chrono and the need for slow uptime, condi rev is very much sought after in the meta. Condi rev does competitive damage. The shiro variant is relatively easy to learn. With 2 condi revs that swap one trait (righteous rebel or RR as seen in LFG) a squad can have permanent slowuptime and alac. Less common but still strong is heal alac. On fights that you need to swap off condi rev you can play power herald. Not insanely high on the benchmarks but provides completely sufficient DPS for pug raids (25k+). Also can fill niche roles like handkiting on Deimos. WvW: Condi Herald is easily one of the strongest roaming builds for 1v1 and does really well into outnumbered fights. Quite tanky, good boon strip, great self healing, good cc, good boon uptime, destroys camps. Easy to play. Hard to master. I have legendary armor on my revenant and use every template. 1: Power Herald2: Divined Ren (alac) Harrier Ren (heals)WvW Condi HeraldOpen World (Power Ren or Condi to keep it fresh)Viper Ren (condi dps or RR) TLDR: Rev fits all your criteria and is desired in every content in the game in the current meta. OP if you are interested in builds or how to use the above, just DM me or message in game.
  3. There are 8 challenge motes you can do for the legendary fractal backpack collection. Some of those can be done at lower tiers. The standard "Fractal CMs" you see listed in LFG are referring to 98, 99, and 100. Which are all T4. Just search the wiki for "Challenge Mote" to find a list.
  4. I literally used LFG with no LI requirement for weekly CM clears tonight. Some stated they had never completed the content. Few wipes on each boss, got the clears. No raging. One member left after a wipe but didn't say anything in chat. Most common thing said in chat? Thanks for the invite. I can't speak to the game when you quit. But this is hot off the press NA experiences.
  5. I haven't been afk for a year. I didn't get my LI by not raiding. I've been incredibly active in the raiding scene. I'm in NA raid academy. I was when I formed my group, I stayed, and I'm there now. Of course most established statics won't take you with 18 LI. That is why the point of my post was to make your own group. Seek out other low experienced players. If you make posts seeking static members with no/low exp requirement, you'll get A LOT of interest and responses.
  6. I'm always super surprised at this stance with new raiders talking about the huge barrier to entry. I've raided at the highest difficulty in ever MMO I've played. This is the only MMO, from personal experience, that has a large "training" community. My mythic raid team in WoW is NEVER going to train a new player to raid at our level. I think that is largely driven by the scaling difficulty of the raids themselves. WoW players have the stance.. If you want to learn, learn at the lower levels. I won't get into the debate regarding Anet adding an easier difficulty. Plenty of form posts on that. However, I think the fact that this game has experienced raiders willing to train new players is half of the solution. The other half lies on the new players to raid like yourself. If experienced raiders are willing to give their time and teach the basics, new players need to take ownership and pick up the torch. I had 0 LI a year ago. Now I have over 1,000. My entire static has over a 1,000. You know why? In a training raid, I too felt, like you.. they were time consuming and only focused on specific bosses. I wanted to learn all the bosses. I made a form post, a few discord posts, and joined 2 mega guilds in which I advertised in guild chat. I advertised to find 9 other players that were new, had no experience, and just wanted to work through the raids together starting at Boss 1, VG. I told them we were going to stay on VG until he died and then progress in order, W1-W7. I got probably 30-40 responses. My static, over the past year, has weeded out some 20 people that either didn't improve. Didn't really enjoy consistent raiding like they thought they would. Didn't show up, etc. But, we raid 3 hours a week and full clear W1-W7 with ease now. My group all has over 1,000 LI and anytime we pug, I list in LFG that we need a dps without ever posting an LI requirement. No LI listings are somewhat common on Mondays when we raid actually. If the person does more than 10k dps and doesn't stand in every fire possible, we just let it ride. 95% of the time they are good anyway. TLDR: Stop waiting and asking for an Anet solution. The GW2 raiding community is outstanding with experienced trainers. Whisper other new people from training runs, make your own scrub squad (my static literally was called Dubs is a Scrub Static to make it clear what our intent was) and progress together. The barrier to entry for new players is self imposed.
