Guild Wars 2

Hello Dungeon forum,

If this is in the wrong section or inappropriate please forgive me. I am looking for someone to teach me to be a better player and to help me get better at running dungeons. I dont have much experience in dungeons and the little I have I found them difficult. I am not looking to become a dungeon master I would just like to be able to hold my own in a group and know what to do.

I am willing to pay someone 1g per dungeon path (if this is reasonable price?) or I will auction whatever loot I obtain and give proceeds to mentor. I would like to use teamspeak or mumble so I could be told exactly what to do or how to do it better.

I am looking for someone who has is knowledgeable and good in dungeons, has teamspeak or mumble, wants to help a new player, and is patient when I make mistakes because I will make them.

My main character is a level 80 guardian with full exotic armor and accessories. My home server is tarnished coast but I am willing to guest to another server if needed. I mostly play afternoons and evenings US eastern time.

If this sounds good send me a private message to discuss.

Thanks

tl;dr
I suck and Im willing to pay gold for a dungeon tutor.

Why don’t you just join a guild that can teach you for free? if you don’t like guilds, post on the lfg site and state you are new and looking for some pointers. This isn’t something you should have to pay someone for. Plenty of helpful folks out there.

Yes. You should not have to pay. Just read guides online and watch videos. Learn what other players do and what players with your class do. Go to a dungeon and apply what you learned.

You know what? I’ll help you for free. I don’t want you to have to pay someone for something that the community should encourage you to learn anyway. I probably won’t just “go down a list” or whatever, but my guild and I do dungeons frequently, and can easily be convinced to do random ones for funsies.

Hit me up in-game via mail if you’re interested.

Me and my guild officers would also help you for free mate. We are all dungeon masters and run dungeons for our members all the time. We are a NA guild so we are mostly on evenings and weekends, so the times should be perfect for you. Check out the links in my signature for more info or message me in game and I will take you on a couple runs. We use mumble to communicate in dugeons, as it is easier to explain it than to type it. Plus I am a slow typer…. lol

Edit: I will be running dungeons from 5pm Central to midnight tonight if you want to join us on a run

Same here. I do dungeons all the time. Add me and whisper if you see me on (usually week nights). I use mumble, teamspeak, raidcall or skype. I have dungeon master, but there’s a few paths I have only run once so I don’t know them that well. But I know the most efficient paths for every dungeon and mostly stick to those, although I have run Arah p4 a few times just cuz it’s fun.

Thank you all for the kind responses. I will message some of you when Im online. I am already in one guild of nice folks that I like, but they dont seem to do many dungeons and when we have we didnt use mumble or anything and I think it would be easier to ask questions speaking rather than typing.

I dont feel that i have to pay, its just that I have plenty of gold plus all the armor and weapons I need for now so I thought offering some gold or loot would incentivize someone to take me under their wing. I think of it like when I wanted to learn to play a musical instrument I hired a teacher, when I needed help with algebra I hired a tutor, even in online poker players would hire coaches.

I have watched a lot of strife025 videos, they are all amazing, the thing is his team is too good. They burn down bosses in 30 seconds and make it look super easy. When I’ve been in dungeons we werent as coordinated so boss fights take much longer and involve many deaths. I think I may have learned more about running ac p1 from a video of a bad pug because i got to see people make mistakes.

Anyway, thanks everyone, Ill send messages.

Don’t ever pay people to teach you to run a dungeon. I have actually just started trying to get our new guild members together to start learning to run dungeons and if you would like you can message me in game any time to see if we are running anything and have space available. There is no “you have to take this certain build”, if you’d like advice on build setups for your playstyle we would be more than willing to help out but the guild is not forcing members into the terrible meta that has emerged of full berserker warriors as the backbone of any dungeon group.

Just in case you didn’t know you can be in multiple guilds in this game so you can join a guild from any of us that are responding on you would only need to represent it to talk in guild chat. We don’t really care if yo rep in general we only ask tha you do it if its a guild group doing dungeons and if you’re doing bounties with us.

Just for the record I wasn’t trying to recruit you (I only do that on the Guilds page). lol

I was just offering to let you join in one of our “learn this dungeon” runs. We run them weekly for new members to teach them dungeons and boss mechanics, and since your guild won’t take you under its wing, we will. We do ask you join us in Mumble though so I don’t have to type. And also that even if you go down you still watch the fight and don’t just afk. You can usually learn more from just watching and listening during a run that you are participating in than from posted videos. As you will hear us adjust our strategies as needed.

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to give a big shout out to RagingDragon and his guild Knights of Ares. The past couple of days he has been taking me into dungeons and Fotm.

What I found is that dungeons can be really fun and not all that difficult when someone explains to me exactly what I should be doing. Having an experienced leader and voice chat helps a lot with this.

I believe he and his guild are making a regular thing of running dungeons with new or inexperienced players and showing them the ropes, so if anyone else is interested in learning dungeons feel free to contact RagingDragon.9475

Thanks Mate,

We are just doing our part to help the community.

If anyone else is interested let us know.
