Guild Wars 2

I have been away from this game for far too long and would like to pick up where I left off. That means hopping back on my elementalist and finally leveling her up to 80. She is sitting comfortably at 68 right now, but even then, I’m completely at a loss for what I should be doing.

How should I be leveling? What gear should I be using? WvW or PvE? Or even SPvP? Just to give you an idea of when I last played, the trait system was still using the 30 point investment thing, not the current max of 6. I really would like to make this re-acclimation as painless as possible, especially since the only character I could always come back to if my others were boring me was ele.

So, pretty much anything is helpful at this point. Be it as extensive as a crash course in every change that has occurred or simply just linking me a build and telling me to get cracking, every little bit helps. I really don’t have a preference when it comes to weapons, as ele is probably the only class where I universally love all their weapon options.

~Thanks in advance

Sure, and maybe you also want a crash course on everything that happened in geopolitics since 1990 ?

:p

For PvE check my guide (link in sig), and then check Keyz’ (stickied in forum), enjoy

I’m more of a Biology kind of guy :P

And thanks so much for the guide, I’ll be sure to go through it and learn all there is to learn.

Edit: I notice none of the build include evasive arcana, which was the build I used mostly before I left. Is there a reason or is it just not the most optimal usage of trait points?

Yep, EA is terrible, and it is located high in a sub-par trait line

That’s so funny to read from a PvP/WvW perspective
