Guild Wars 2

I finally decided to start leveling my last 3 characters (Ele, Guard, Eng). I was wondering what would be the best leveling build? I know it doesn’t matter much until I get 80, but my intentions are to play mostly PvE. Am I better off going Staff for events and AoE? Also, whats a good end-game spec for PvE?
~Thanks

Staff is great for low levels and world events

Around 30ish, you will want to switch to d/d, and start getting used to the feel.

This guide covers most end-game pvp specs, but I wouldn’t worry about it until you get there.

Best of luck!

Thanks! Also, does anyone have any suggestions on the best places to level? Not sure what events or trains I can join to reach level 80 asap (other than crafting). I am not fond of leveling.
