Guild Wars 2

I’m looking for current guides after being away from the game for a year. (I’ve been in game for a month.) As I’m relearning a lot of the mechanics, most of my Googling efforts have led to outdated materials.

So far I’ve been using GW2dungeons.net and MetaBattle.com, which have served me well. The Wiki, of course, has always been great, but not in depth enough for specific PvE tactics; I’m looking to do my homework before getting into the fray. (I’ve figured out WvW enough to be comfortable, and I don’t really PvP.)

Are there resources that I’m missing? Is it mostly just joining up with the right guilds/groups and getting into the fray? Specifically, I’m a Mesmer looking for resources on dungeon speed runs, 30+ fractals, and mechanics for some of the gluier world bosses (i.e. Tequatl and Jungle Worm).

Definitely check out some of the guides that Dulfy puts out, there are a lot of useful things that are described in detail.

If you visited GW2 dungeons I’m sure you are familiar with Banter Bill, he taught me how to do the more complex dungeons like Arah.

For everything else, just try a search on Youtube, such as if you want to know how to profit from The Silverwastes

And now is as better a time than ever with the free accounts running in to learn from community members like Aurora Peachy, MMOInks, and Wooden Potatoes who can go in-depth on specific topics on the game.

Of course, the best way to learn s to go out and try it! I know TTS does Triple Trouble per week and it is super organized and you can learn a lot in one runthrough.

Happy hunting!
