returning player - where to re-begin?
I played quite a bit at beta/launch … then RL happened in a big way. I’ve been doing some reading around the forums, new player guides, etc. I’ve decided to take the plunge and download the clinet and give GW2 another go. Wall of questions INC!!!
Where should I begin…
Should I use characters that have not been touched in 2 years?
Should I start fresh?
I love melee combat for PVE (and dont care much about pvp, wvw) Which profession would you recommend?
I’m an mmo junkie and liked the non tradtional approach to the game … look forward to seeing y’all in game!

most interesting melle would probably be thief, mesmer sword pretty good.
use your old charachters unless you want to try the new trait system, which have been critically panned.
Old characters for sure. New traits on new toons suck now. And every class is good at melee. The hardest to master would be ranger with 1h sword, and the easiest would be warrior. For dungeon/fractal builds(some of the more “difficult” pve content) check out and ask for help in the dungeon sub forums. For open world pretty much anything works no matter the gear.
Also in the majority of groups for pve everything is meleed now, so you might like that
And welcome back and I hope you enjoy the game
I’m going to play devils advocate here. I suggest keeping your old characters and play fresh. The new system is indeed new and is worth trying to mix it up. But you’ll have your old characters to fall back on.
Melee class I’d have to say thief or guardian.

Thanks everyone =]
Looking forward to diving back into it. I Think I’ll make a new toon for intro movement learning what’s it then go back to the old toons.
Heard thief a few times and think I remmeber building bubbles to unleash mass dps bursts ... Gonna roll that guy after I’ve got my head on straight.
