Guild Wars 2

So I’m seriously considering making a new Warrior as I just don’t like the story/animations of my current Norn. With the changes to WvW, is it still a good idea to level there or just stick with the story quests?

Thanks!

Wars don’t bring much value to blobs and frontline so you’ll get rolled as a downlevel/core specialization. Obviously even worse in 1v1/roaming.

EoTM on the other hand has always been the go-to leveling spot for many, and that’s seen no changes and is arguably in a healthier state than the current WvW lol.

Just remember that you don’t get normal XP from WvW anylonger, only tomes for WXP/track rewards. So you might as well play with an existing 80, and collect up the tomes for the Warrior.

In general people will claim that GREN is good for zerg (Guardian, Revenant, Elementalist, Necromancer), and the rest is roaming/havoc classes. Honestly play as you like, I like Guardian myself, but hate zerging, so I roam and havoc with Guard, isn’t the best, but it works.

Yep there is absolutely no point in WvW with anything below 80. Run with your 80, get tomes, use them on lower levels. If you have scrolls (from birthday gifts etc) you only need 40-60 tomes to make an 80… Doing story missions isnt too bad either, get some xp boosts and you can PvE to level 80 in less than a week.

Thanks for the help everyone! This really gives me a good idea as to where to go with leveling my new character.

Tomes are the fastest and easily acquired in WvW Reward Tracks. If that isn’t appealing, PvE is fast particularly in the new zones.
