Guild Wars 2

How does one go about learning/getting into dungeon runs? Ive been level 80 for awhile and have mostly berserker stats for my Necro. Though I run a knights/cavalier/berserk for WvW(which is how I have leveled).

Does LFG work? Can I join random PUGs and just mention I have never run the dungeon before?

The two best ways to get groups for dungeons is to either join a guild, or to use gw2lfg.com , which is a third party websites to find dungeon groups.

Anet is in the process of finishing their group find utility but we don’t have an ETA on it yet.

I usually just watch youtube videos to learn more about a Dungeon or path I’ve never been to. Name of dungeon + Path.

www.Gw2lfg.com is where most people look for PUG’s atm, most people want experienced players who knows their professions, have run the dungeon and path before. But I have experienced other people stating that they haven’t done this path before and other people in the party explain it to them, but at the same time I’ve been hearing of people getting kicked of parties for this as well. So your choice I guess.

A mix of Knights/Cavalier/Berserk is ok for a power build if you have trouble staying alive, but once you get even more experienced, I suggest a Berserk and maybe only like 2-3 Cavalier/Knights gear for dungeons.

I also recommend going to the Necromancer forums and go to the sticky to watch/read some of Nemesis’s video guides on Necromancer builds (Traits, Rotations, Gear, etc etc…)

Some people might not want to have a ‘noob’ in their group, but it’s always good to say that you’ve never played dungeons before. For me, I used to state that I’m inexperience in dungeons on www.gw2lfg.com, just a heads up you know?

That being said, there are SOME people who take it easy and just run a dungeon for fun. Easiest would be joining a guild who normally does casual dungeon runs.
