Guild Wars 2

Hi guys. I played a lot of gw2 but quit some months before HOT. There was already lots and lots of gear. Now I am even more lost. Is there any updated gear guide? What should I get for PVE content and WvW?

What class? Are you more interested in dealing Condition Damage or is Raw Power your thing? Depending on the class/spec, you will want to build a certain way to get the most out of your class.

Short version:

• Berserker’s gear is still preferred for PvE builds based on power. (For WvW, you can swap to Marauder’s or drop in a few pieces of soldier’s, valk, or knight’s.)
• Viper’s is preferred for PvE condi (although Sinister, Dire, or Carrion can be subbed if you don’t have access). (For WvW, Trailblazer’s or Dire.)

There are plenty of exceptions: custom builds, niche situations, and various tanking, support, or healing builds. Still, the above will tide you over until you’ve played long enough to get familiar with the nuances.
