How should I get into raiding and pve
I play a warrior, and I have been a pvper since day one, leveling mostly through tomes, so I know nothing about crafting, and only have a few ascended rings from wvw. I really want to get into pve and raiding, but I have no idea how to do so. I have done raiding on heroic in wow, and raided in wildstar, so I am not bad a pve content in games, I just don;t know where to start in gw2. I have a full set of exotic gear, is that enough for raids? Also I am thinking about just leveling an ele no tomes, and use that for pve, so I can learn from doing. Is that a good idea. Also any advice on getting into raid groups and stuff would be great!
If you’re a PvPer, you’ll probably have done the most recent season. This means you should have the ability to buy most of a full set of ascended gear. Look up the build for a PS warrior here: http://qtfy.enjin.com/builds
Try and make sure you’ve got ascended trinkets (so accessories, rings, amulet, backpiece) and weapons. Ascended armor is nice eventually, but it’s a much lower priority.
Once you’ve got all your gear set, go ahead and try to familiarize yourself with the fights and playstyle by watching some guides. This will help you with getting more smoothly into groups. Try and find some training raids or look for a group recruiting over in the ‘looking for’ section of the forums, and that’ll get you rolling.
Also make sure to practice your rotation on the golem by making a squad, entering the appropriate portal in the aerodrome, adding appropriate buffs, and going through your rotation. The chat box will pop up your dps, which is a good sanity check that you’re doing the rotation properly. It’ll help a lot with being able to focus on mechanics of the fight if the rotation is near second nature and groups will more likely take you too if you’ve practiced.
