Guild Wars 2

Hey folks.

I thought I’d create a thread where players can discuss hints and tips to share with each other within the community.

The tips only need to be relevant to GW2 and could be about anything in general.

My tips:

1) For jumping puzzles – disable double tap to evade (in options) and bind dodge to an actual key (I use the left shift button for dodge) this allows you an easier time when doing jumping puzzles due to not accidently pressing a key twice which would normally make you dodge right off a platform.

2) If you did bind dodge to a key such as left shift as I have done – you can also perform a pretty cool maneuver that I love to do, a somersault jump. Whilst running just press the JUMP key + Dodge key (make sure you bind it to a key first) at the same time. Your character will them somersault whilst jumping and it looks pretty sweet.
This move does consume endurance.

These are just 2 tips that I’d like to share with you (and I will update this post if I can think of anymore) and I’d like to encourage you to contribute your own tips for others

Thanks.

If you are out in the wilds and want to avoid a hefty waypoint fee to get back to lions arch, go to wvw instead. You can bank, trade, repair, and such, and then if you want, take a free portal to LA. A a PVE guy, to me it’s the only thing wvw is good for.

When you start a new character immediately backtrack into your home city and finish the complete map exploration, then continue with the other 4.
This will give you a nice early level boost thus allowing you to hit your storyline earlier, making the gear actually useful.
