Hey everyone. I’m a huge n00b at this game. I’ve not played in 9 months because I just got back from a deployment. Can anyone recommend a leveling guide and a PvP guide for Paladin builds? I’m familiar with common RPGs and such so my skills should transfer over right? Anyways, if someone can help me with guild or some sort and want to help me finish the main storyline I’d greatly appreciate it.

Welcome back!

Firstly, by “paladin,” I assume you mean guardian, right?

Secondly, there is a huge difference between the combat here and the combat in WoW and most other MMOs, so if by common RPGs you mean common MMOs, then no, I’m afraid your skills -won’t- transfer over. A few things of note:

  • The combat in this game is much more action-oriented- you can avoid attacks by strafing and dodging as you fight, and using skills to counter enemy attacks. It’s more important to avoid attacks than to heal them.
  • There is no healer/tank/DPS trinity. Everyone is responsible for their own survival, for DPSing the enemy, for coordinating support and control to make fights more manageable.
  • Your success in this game depends largely on your skill as a player, rather than your gear.

I highly recommend giving this a read: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/GW2-Combat-system-101-Guide/first

In addition, GW2 is highly unlike WoW in many other respects. The game’s meant to be more of a journey- you take your time and enjoy the process of leveling, explore to your heart’s content, and when you hit 80, there aren’t tiers of raids and gear to chase one after the other. You pretty much find what you enjoy doing and do it.

My and other players’ advice- don’t treat this game like WoW. Forget everything you know about MMOs and enjoy the journey.

Yes I mean Guardian.

And wow, that’s pretty intense. I really like this game as I spent a few hours playing. I guess I need to find a clan of some sort because I always find myself alone while playing…
