So I am level 51. I am trying to get the monthly completed. I only started like 10 days ago. I don’t want to do dungeons yet as I feel I would be a hindrance, I am no where near being able to complete the Monthly Living World Category, there is no way I could salvage 242 Salvage in 60 hours, and after doing the Troll’s End Jumping Puzzle as a max height Charr I am so angry that I want to murder people.

So that is exactly what I am going to do. I am going to go for the 50 WvW kills because I think it will make me less angry than having to do another jumping puzzle.

I have no idea how WvW works, nor have I done any kind of thing in this game short of basic leveling. Is there something I should know ahead of time? Where should I put my oh-so numerous 41 Traits?

Cheers.

Staff, run with a zerg, just check where the commander is.

This sounds weird, dont try to support, focus on survial and try to stay in the back.

Even if you are upscaled your damage isnt upscaled to the same level (cant understand why though) and you cant kill anything so tagging is your mission, hence the staff. Tagging in wvw is the exact same thing as leeching btw.

SyS, Retreat and SY on the bar for some decent support, condi removal and ofc movement speed. You need to be able to have at least some sort of escape.

You will find that guardians fight and they die or kills stuff. They very seldom can disconnect. The above allows you to be a bit more distant and make disconnects possible.

Regarding wvw there is a guide in the wvw forum that can help you out.

That’s Save Yourselves, Retreat, and what?

Which 10/20/30 Traits would you suggest? An AHEM type builds?

Stand your ground, shout stun breaker and stabilty+realiation which always should be on your bar as long its non scripted content.

Purity/strength in numbers/AH and when soloing or try to catch up to the zerg use monks focus and smite condition and judges intervention. Judges intervention and the leap on GS (Still staff as main weapon) is actually a very nice disconnect.

In honor i would use superior aria and larger symbols (i think) and ofc pure of voice for the condi removal. Im not a fan of empowering might due to really poor range.

When you are in a zerg you could have SyG, wall of reflection and hallowed ground.

Sorry btw my mind read 61 points, not 41.

0/0/30/6/5 or 0/0/6/30/5 would be my choice.

Sadly, I can’t get to 30 so I will have to stick with the 20’s. Basic idea is to run with a zerg, try to support them where I can, tag everyone, trying to look very non-threatening?

once again sorry, it was a while back i leveled anythin and i forgot the level cap on traits.

Last try :-)

0/0/20/16/5 would be about right.

But yeah, that is the general concept, stick to the zerg, try to survive and if you have time use your utilities for the team. Staff 4-5 is pretty neat support in wvw btw. And if you add in SyG, wall of reflection and/or hallowed ground you will definitely contribute.

Use minus condi duration runes and minus condi duration food. You will have limited condiremoval.

Better idea, level to 80 first. Rolling a non 80 guardian is going to be painful.
