Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, got few questions about the game play, can someones please help.
1, wiki says adding adding power can increase the damage you do, easy to understand that will increase damage of melee weapons, like swards and axes, but will power increases damage of range weapons like rifles, bows and magic wants.

2, when you create a charecter you can choose different body sizes, will that impact your charcater’s swiftness, like could a small slim charr runs faster than a tall fat charr?

3, someone said in the game the smaller you are the more damage you get, is that ture? will it be a big Charr warrior can do more damge than a same level but small Asura warrior? or will a big body Charr warrior do more damage than a small body Charr warrior?

4, will difficulty of your personal story incrases with your charcator’s level, and will the rewarding items level up with the level of your charector? like my Lvl 27 range goes for it charpt one personal story, will it get rewarding items at similar level?

thanks a lot.

1. Power (including Might which is a boon) increases the base damage of all attacks. So if you want to try it out and see the difference, unequip all your gear, look at one of your weapon attacks, and it will say how much damage it does. When you add all your gear back on, the damage should be significantly higher. This doesn’t affect condition damage, however, which is a separate stat.
2. All characters run at the same base speed, but it will appear that an Asura runs faster than a Norn, for example This is just an animation thing, as Asura have to move more ground to cover the same distance as a Norn’s step.
3. Dunno why anyone would say this. There’s nothing instrumental about your body type, appearance, or race. All character creation choices are purely cosmetic (or affect what missions you first encounter, but do not affect your stats)
4. If a Personal Story step is a level 15 mission, for example, and you’re level 27, you’ll be scaled down to level 15 for that mission, and receive level 15 rewards. They instance all personal story, so whatever mission you’re on will be specifically for that level it specifies.

Thanks a lot for your answers.
just still bit doubt about the speed thing, because in the game I did find my Charr warrior hard to keep up any Human charecters, not mention Asura. when we all ran at same direction, Human and Asura easily left my Charr eating their dust, and I hardly think every time they all used some skills.

The speed thing is either a trait, skill, or rune that gives a 25% bonus speed boost. You got left behind because you didn’t have it and were running at the default speed that ALL character move at without boosts.

Yep. Most classes have a trait or signet that lets them move at 25% speed faster, with Guardian and Mesmer I think having no such boosts except for swiftness.
