Alright. Confused again. /rage When in WvW they dont give you the basic gear you get in structured pvp. Will I be fine in my new characters gear or would i need to do something more? I read through the FAQ thing they had posted and didnt really see anything on it besides someone saying new players should be fine so i guess i’m just looking for confirmation.

Your pve gear is your WvW gear. As a new toon, you will be updated to 80. However your gear will not be, ie you will be stuck with your 1-2 stat gear against people with final gear and runes. Will that ruin your wvw experience? – Probably not. Will your gear be on par with that of people around you? – Maybe not.

You won’t be winning any 1v1s, but you can still support your team, carry supply, use siege, etc.

You’ll probably want to avoid d/d as well until you’re geared.
edit: except when moving around the map

Dagger dagger is d/d. You would probably be better off with staff until later on. And then, mainly combo fields and healing your teammates. Don’t expect to kill much of anything.

dagger/dagger – Staff is more viable for supporting people from ranged, especially at low levels. D/D doesn’t come into it’s own until you have traits/gear to make it really shine.

Also, keep a focus on hands at all times in WvW – Focus 4 in Air blocks projectiles (Most notably trebuchet shots, so you can protect walls and siege from being trebbed.)
