Guild Wars 2

I just came back after about a year and a half of not playing. I was never really in to anything but WvWvW where I spent nearly all of my play time (hate zone level scaling never looked back at PvE at all after my Elementalist hit 80 and have no others).

What I do remember from Conquest games was that I could change out skills/gear/gems/whatever without spending any money and I could take a lvl 1 or 2 class in and be boosted up to 80 with max gear to try them out.

That seems to be completely gone. I can’t change anything and I have to buy some kind of weapon to try it out and my “elite specializations” are gated behind hero points or whatever they called now? I bought HoT when I came back yesterday but see nothing at all for PvP in it and am wondering if I should have? Am I missing something?

Everything should be available in pvp…

Once in the heart of the mist (pvp lobby), click on the helmet kind of icon, on the middle-top of your screen. It’s a tab that allows you to change your pvp build (so traits/weapons/sigils/runes/amulet)
Some sigils/runes/amulets are locked and you need to pay a little bit of gold to unlocked them. Also, you need to have a weapon of the type you want to equip in your inventory to be able to use said weapon type. You should have a vendor in the pvp lobby selling very cheap weapons.

Thanks! I kept looking at my “build” under the Hero tab and it’s not the same as the PvP one I don’t remember that being in a separate place before but I maybe I just forgot. Thanks again.

You have to level to 3 to unlock sPvP. :-)
