Guild Wars 2

Helloooooo. So I have been playing GW2 for about 2 weeks now. Mostly been doing WvW on my Thief and now Necro. I enjoy playing my Necro more and want to start getting into dungeons. Currently I’ve got mostly Rabid gear, Carrion Weapons, and Carrion Trinkets. And I’m not going to get into any build arguments in PvE, but I’m planning on buying a Zerker set since I HEAR going with a Zerker Wells build is is very strong for dungeons.

BUT!

Back story over, here is what this post is about. I’ve heard mixed things about PvE in this game. I’ve heard its good, but mostly heard that most groups are VERY unforgiving when it comes to new/bad players or people running unorthodox builds. Now I usually run the cookie cutter best builds in all mmos, and despite not being bad, I am new. And currently I am on HoD server, which means not AS many people to run dungeons with since I transferred here for WvW and it seems to be more WvW oriented. I’ve also heard that pugging via the LFG can be frustrating and I’d hate to be THAT guy that comes into a dungeon new, and having no clue what to do. I’d HATE spending hours on some easy boss or the group falling apart due to this fact.

So basically what I am looking for, is I guess some people to start running a few dungeons with? Preferably on HoD but I guess I can just guest to your server? Note i’m not looking to be carried. But I just feel that in my current situation, I don’t want to even think about pugging until I at least know a few of the dungeons. And I COULD check dungeon guides and then go into LFG, but the same thing applies, I’m new. And I’m one of those people that needs to see content first before really understanding it, like I expect most people to be. So again, just looking for someone or hell even a few people that would be willing to help me through a few dungeons or possibly Fractals (still not 100% sure what these are about). I can provide the gear/food needed and thanks to spending pretty much every waking moment in WvW. I have a decent understanding of how my Necro works so I feel I will not be too much of a nuisance in this dungeons.

Also, if anyone has even read this far, I WOULD find a guild on HoD that does dungeons, but currently I am in a small guild that roams and does a lot of WvW and they are a nice bunch so if someone does see this and want to I guess recruit me, note that I probably will not be leaving as I still want to WvW as my main activity in the game.

Thanks

Edit: Upon request, my Necro is 80. I can be online pretty much at all times between 9 AM PST and 11 PM PST all days except when I am at the gym. And yes I am able to get on any voice program to make learning easier.

Hi! I haven’t been running many dungeons lately, but I hope you find a friendly group of people to run with! There are a lot of great people in the community and it’s a shame there’s an attitude of elitism in some people for LFG. If you’re on a NA server, feel free to add me. I tend to be super laid back, especially when I know someone’s learning. I may decline to go on a run if I am just not feeling like it, which is happening a lot lately. I’m on Tarnished Coast, by the way. Welcome to dungeon stuff!

Im here aswell if you want to do stuff, although im also Na server

Feel free to add me, I can hit some dungeons with ya just give me a holler! I don’t bite :p I’m pretty solid in all the dungeons, I can get you started with fractals (and explain the gist of FOTM) as well.

This may be information that you already know, but since you’re new I feel the need to share it just in case.

This game allows you to be a part of multiple guilds, and rep as you see fit. While some guilds are very strict about “ONLY REP US RAWRRRRR”, I have found that most are pretty lax, especially if honest with them going in.

I mainly rep 3 guilds.
1) My own personal guild consisting of family and IRL friends.
2) A WvW focused guild.
3) a dungeon/fractals focused guild

So depending on what I am in the mood to do, I’ll rep different guilds.

Welcome, Dushnaa!

A cool thing about this game is that you don’t have to be on the same server as your party in order to participate in the instance. As far as Necromancer in dungeons go, they are not ideal. As per the current game mechanics, DPS builds reign supreme, and Necromancer direct damage is suffering due to their lack of a cleave ability, among other questionable game mechanics that all classes suffer with.

There is a dungeon meta right now where players will stack in an area that removes line of sight from the enemy, pulling them into the stack where they are quickly DPSed to smithereens.

If I can make a suggestion, I would look into some Thief builds for dungeons, as the dungeon environment relies heavily on player utility, and what they bring to the party. Necromancer is also lacking in this department, as it is a very selfish class ( my main is Necro, but I use my thief for most dungeons). Thief has very interesting, helpful, and fun mechanics for dungeon/group play.

One place a Necromancer can really shine however is in Fractals of the Mists

Please PM me in game if you would like some more information/possibly some runs with our small group.

Feel free to add me and throw me questions about the game, I’ve been playing since beta.
I am fairly good at most dungeons and the rest of the game. I’ve also gotten my necromancer to 80 mostly through dungeons. As for the necro I would sell yourself as a tank and build yourself as one.

Welcome to Tyria!

Since your new, it would be helpful to post what level your toons currently are since that affects which dungeons you can’t or shouldn’t attempt yet, and what time of day or week you typically play. Also whether you are willing to use voice comm (makes it alot easier to teach and coordinate).
