Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

After about a year, I’m about to return to GW2. Mostly because I can use my previously useless Frost Fang on my guard, but also because I just missed the game.

I’m mostly a pvp/wvw player, so I’m wondering what significant changes have occurred to guards since basically October 2016. Is there anything I should know, or is it still ok to roll with what was meta at that time?

ALSO: I have about 2.5k in my wallet. As a bonus question, should I put that cash towards a legendary I don’t have (I have Twilight, Frost Fang, and Bolt) or legendary armor (I already have ascended and legendary armor looks like a royal pain in the ass to get).

Thanks!

Okay, first off, don’t worry about doing raids exactly if you want legendary armor. Soon enough you’ll also be able to get it through sPvP and WvW. So if you want to go for it, find the content you like the most and do it that way. Though it’s still gonna be a hell of a trip anyway.

As for legendary weapons, there’s a wide array that have been introduced since you last played. With an upcoming expansion, there’ll be even more of them. So maybe wait until expansion to truly make a decision. Gives you time to find where you wanna since things have changed.

Guardian has mostly been okay / unchanged in WvW and sPvP for awhile now. In sPvP DH has received, well deserved, nerfs, but it is still quite very effective (Mainly meditrapper). There’s other builds to consider like burn guardian or symbolic. In WvW it’s still quite very effective as a boon and stab bot while putting out damage / loot sticking everything. It will never lose that spot.
