Guild Wars 2

Hey all I took a two year break, maybe more, maybe less during a busy time for me in College. A friend told me about the expansion and I’m thinking about getting back into it. Is it too late for me to get involved in the living story? And how would I go about doing that?

I also used to main my Warrior and Elementalist. But now that I have less time I’m going to try to choose between the two and focus on them for my playthrough of Path of Fire. I think both of the elite specs look real interesting, but as I’ve been away for so long I know nothing of the changes these professions endured. I just remember being very sad about ‘icebow 4’.

If I was to main one and be good for solo adventuring but also dungeons and raids(If I ever decide to go that hardcore) at their current states which one is probably more well rounded? I had a lot of fun nuking targets from afar on my Staff Ele but I also realize that especially in HoT zones my Warrior could handle himself much better alone. I’m assuming this might still be the case?

It’s never “too late” to get back into the living story. Only the original season 1 is still inaccessible. However, if you didn’t log into your account during the time that the update went through you will unfortunately have to purchase the episodes from the gem store to unlock them for your account. Season 3, I believe, is well worth the purchase. If for no other reason that to be able to farm up stat-selectable ascended trinkets.

As for which class to main, it’s up to you. Both Warrior and Elementalist are META in endgame at the moment. Warrior would be more comfortable in solo content due to its survivability. However, Warrior’s new elite specialization looks to be more focused on PVP, and doesn’t look like it will be optimal for PVE at the moment.

Also, once you start using D/W Fresh Air Tempest Elementalist you won’t be missing Icebow 4 very much IMO.
