Guild Wars 2

I played just after release with some friends and played until level cap then they decided the game wasn’t for them. I always thought the game was brilliant and had quite a good time. I am now coming back to the game but since my departure a lot has changed and everything feels somewhat daunting, which is great because everything feels fresh, but I am also a bit at a loss on where to go from here.

I am a level 80 Engineer, could use some advice on a good way to gear up considering at this particular moment I don’t have a guild and will probably be doing a lot of solo play. I enjoy PvP more than anything but do enjoy a good dungeon or raid.

What will be a good way to gear up for both PvP and PvE? Any suggestions on content I should be focusing on? I am sure my build is not efficient in any way so would anyone have advice for a build that I can work towards that would be effective in the upcoming expansion?

I appreciate any help people have to offer.

I found Richie aka Bog Otter makes great videos to questions you are asking. A ton has changed since you left. Here is his video I would start here first since I could not clearly type out everything on what you are asking
