Guild Wars 2

So I stopped playing around the time they added in ascended armor and fractals (still not really sure what they are.) So I was interested in getting back into the game and was hoping to get some questions answered.

1. What systems have they put in play that I’ll have to learn about? (IE ascended armor, fractals, things like that)

2. Where to farm money? When I played, everyone just group farmed Orr, I heard whispers that it got nerfed, not sure.

3. Is there a world that gets a decent amount of fair match ups in WvW?

4. Can Elementalists go Damage instead of Support in WvW? (And not be a waste of space)

4. Is there anything I should know? (Not really sure how to word it. Who knows what they’ve added or changed)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there, and welcome back.

1. Though there are few in game systems to learn about the game, there are plenty of external sources, particularly dulfy.net and the wiki. If you type /wiki in game at any time it will bring up the Guild Wars 2 wiki in a browser.

2. The best way to get money currently is meta events and farming dungeons/fractals. There is an overlay available to tell you when meta events pop up that can be found out http://gw2stuff.com

3. The way matchups are made for WvW have just changed so it’s too soon to tell. But it’s not like it was when you played.

4. Ele bunker builds are very powerful in WvW and do a lot of damage.

You have two question 4.s btw. lol

There’s plenty you should know but I don’t even know where to begin.

Vayne has answered your first three questions pretty well. As for ele’s in wvw bunker ele’s are good but don’t do huge damage. They are very viable though particularly for roaming and smaller scale stuff. Staff support undoubtedly offers more for large scale stuff but you aren’t useless if you don’t want to do that.

I yield to Kaiem’s expertise. I don’t play enough WvW to make definitive statements, though I do know ele bunkers are relatively hard to kill and they do make kills themselves.
