Guild Wars 2

I recently hit 80 on my Ele. I still have my crappy leveling gear on. I’m so sick of PvE at this point, there is no way I could start doing dungeons or anything else PvE related. How can I gear myself up to be effective in WvW w/o doing anymore PvE?

whats your weapon of choice?

Sit in lions arch making money off the trading post. Probably the best way to do it.

Getting exotic gear from WvWvW will be more than a little difficult. Especially given the badge cost, and the fact that until you have said exotic gear you will be at a severe disadvantage.

you can get egar with wvw stats (power/vit/tough) from doing any of these dungones: Ascelonian Catacombes, Sorrow’s Embrace, Honour of the Waves. AC probably being the easiest. Jewelery can be crafted your choice of stats (this will take a fair few ectos)It’s not hard to “gear up” for wvw.

Get yourself a rare back item from the TP (spineguard of..) for a mere 15s or so.

I’d recommend getting a set of the yellow invader gear from the karma vendor in WvW unless your leveling gear is already better.
It is PVT and while you will be at a slight disadvantage I wouldn’t call it severe.

uhhh i looked in those dungeon gears and i didnt see any PVT armors at all just the weapons.. thats why i just got clerics instead untill i get enough badges for the WvW set. but meh clerics is actually working out pretty good

You know that each vendor sells 3 different armor sets?
