Guild Wars 2

I have googled and searched through the forums and alot of the info is geared towards PvP which is fine but I do not PvP so those guides are pointless, and or the other ones are so outdated they to are not helpful.

So can anyone point me in a direction as to a guide for levelling solo(pve). That or what are stats I should concentrate on(remember im starting from lvl 1)

Thanks in advance for your help!

For leveling, focus more on damage stats, generally more power/prec.

Get your flamethrower and Bomb kit, bombs are good for kiting and dropping bombs for them to run through, flamethrower can just torch a whole group.

Get speedy kits asap, until then Elixir B and Elixir H are probably going to be pretty nice, travel time when leveling is hugely important.

If you go flamethrower, Juggernaut is nice, bombs Forceful explosions is great.

Thing about leveling is you won’t have access to most traits for a while so giving a whole build is just kind of silly as you’ll be adjusting through the leveling process. Just keep the above in mind and it should be helpful.

Ohh and I’d use Rifle mostly, pistol/shield has uses but it’s not really the best while leveling. It’s more of a utility thing for say blasting might/stealth, or utilizing the block/daze components. When leveling, Jump Shot → BLunderbuss → Flamethrower kit → FLame Blast/detonate, you can usually kill most trash with just that quick combo.

Thanks! Yeah the traits forgot do not unlock till ya hit lvl 30 and on. Thanks for the info that will help me alot!

one tipp:
even tho elixir H is a nice (random) swiftness boost along with elixir B, try to go for the healing turret ASAP and get its correct combo into your reflexes. It’s by far our most valuable healing-skill and you’ll need it a lot later on.

Same goes for targeting practice with nades once you have the grenadier-grandmaster trait unlocked (post level 80, when finishing your personal story would be a good time to practice with it). Without that trait nades kinda under-perform dmg-wise and are more of a burden than a help while leveling.
