Guild Wars 2

I am sure there are topics like ‘what elite is best’ but with search broken and the fact that it might be a necro…

I am hoping for best case of 100 or the standard we pay for any other trait line and group of skills (so 85 or so). I made them all (which cover the existing professions) 105 so I have a little flexibility.

Two I am most interested in are for guardian and elementalist, the two characters of mine I am most meh about. In case it is the 170 I ran HPs with them last night so they would have 120. That will get them a good chunk of what they need.

Both are among my first characters and ones that could use a bit of zazzing up. In the case of the guardian it is a good ranged weapon. For the elementalist just needed a bit to make her not same old-same old, even though chromaster was more interesting (unfortunately my mesmer already had most of the HPs I was getting lately).

My warrior, being my latest character, has plenty of HPs to use. I specifically did not fill the skill and trait lines.

Obviously with only a couple days left I can not get more HPs for every character (and anything beyond 120 will have to wait for after the drop). With the exception of guardian, warrior, and elementalist what order/which professions would you focus on getting HPs for?

I would actually lean towards Thief/Daredevil.

Why? Because you’re going to want to get into places in the new zones to get Mastery Points and start unlocking access to the mastery lines in HoT. I’m unsure of if they’ll add any Mastery Point locations into main Tyria as well, but I guess they might.

It would be a shame to run out of points and “waste” EXP until you can find more to keep your masteries going. I figure Daredevil will be the class of choice for getting into and out of interesting spots to tag MP locations.

I think the more important thing is to prepare your gear for the new specializations (if you’re into that sort of thing). As I main an engineer, that will be my first to unlock. I just got my warrior’s weapon smithing level to 500 last night to craft a new ascended hammer. Fully upgraded and ready for action when my engineer comes calling.

Following that, I’m not sure who would be next on my list. I have decked out necro, ranger, and warrior. I don’t play them much, so I’ll just work on them when I feel like taking a break from my engineer. I will say this though. I’ve never quite liked the mesmer profession, but the new chronomancer specialization looks cool and I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out in WvW.
