Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, recently returned after a long break. I left the game about two days after fractal dungeons were released as I did not like the direction the game was heading. I play two characters mostly, an 80 Guardian and a 80 Ranger. Both are geared pretty well, or at least were geared well at the time. I believe the Guardian is in full CoF gear, transmuted to power, precision, toughness. The Ranger is in marketplace 80 exotics I believe, as I had just hit 80 with him before leaving.

So basically my first question is, are there any must have new weapons or armor or rings? Something that would make a big difference stat wise?

Where are the new grinding spots? Before it was Orr for Karma and gold for your legendary.

Any new dungeons I must run? Anything I need to get? Anything specific I need to read?

Share your knowledge with me guys, glad to be back! Thanks for the help!

There’s nothing that you need to do or need to get. Your characters should still be fine in whatever gear they were wearing. As far as what you’ve missed…you’ve missed a whole lot. Best if you just log in and start playing.

As you can see, far too much to cover.

However, if you want the latest bling, you need to get ascended gear/legendary. Start collecting laurels for your trinkets and get your crafting upto 500 for acsended gear.

Its basically a big expansive, grind that’s designed to take you 100’s/1,000’s of hours. In the meantime they will add more grind to keep you playing…

There’s a ton more grind, from living story, to crafting, to even things like post-nerf karma.

You’re going to want ascended weapons/trinkets to remain competitive.
