The easiest class weapon combo (hammer...guardian...)
You literally hit the 1 key whole time, nothing else, just 1.

If you want the most laid back class and do 20k+ DPS in the world (and 30k+ in the golem, but that isn't accurate to "real world" testing) then do hammer guardian. All you do is press 1. Any elite spec is great for hammer too for the guardian elite specs.

As someone with extremely bad arthritis right now cause cold hit quick and sudden here (california) at same time of santa ana winds (which are usually warm, but its COOOOLD)....which btw unrelated, but a big fire near me (oakland) even though weather is super cold, so its pretty unusual.

But anyway...I've been shaking a lot in my hands and pretty painful when I play the faster classes. Its kinda frustrating cause I like catalyst and untamed, but too fast for me. Mechanist is good, but hammer guardian (or willbender or whatever elite spec you choose) takes the cake for easy.

Then I learned about hammer guardian, one button class. Still occasionally dodge tbh, but mostly I press 1 button and able to do a lot. By far most relaxing time I've had in GW2 while still doing a lot of damage.

its hizen's willbender build mostly, but uses hammers instead and instead of smoldering sigil thats on the torch, I use celerity since its a hammer instead

What's your survivability like? My wife needs a new build and this looks really good for her, if it stays alive easily.

Could be a skill issue, but I found it a lot better and easier to survive than my mechanist. Engineer though, core or any of the elite specs I never could figure out so take that as you will.

Definitely at least just as easy as mech though, feels about like a revenant for surviving.

Tbh, I can see why on the forums and reddit people complain that arenanet hasnt nerfed guardian and buff it instead, seems a bit broken just doing so much damage and surviving with one button xD but it sure is relaxing and (fun) if thats your thing....which I'm definitely having fun with it.

Most MMOs ban those, at least I got banned for that in BDO, WoW and FFXIV for "automated software" even though it was literally just my mouse.

its allowable in gw2 afaik, also the support here is very understanding and ur ban will be reversed once u engage if they even ban u.

I really really recomend getting a keypad for OG guys like us.
GW2 is almost predestined for using one.

Still have the OG Belkin n52te, now refined into the Razer Tartarus v2 in that vid.
Also started using a trackball decades ago,
because carpal tunnel problems already started knocking back then.

Dual pistol deadeye with unload on autocast is also up there on the ease level, arguably even easier since you have 900 range to boot. You do have to press mark occasionally but other than that it is easy sailing. Not to mention that you can also go into quickness with it at the cost of some damage and some extra button presses.
