Guild Wars 2

Ive had a Mesmer sitting around since I got the game in 2012 and have completely forgotten how to play her but heard Chronomancer is so much fun ive decided to make her my first Alt through HoT…

Could anyone point me towards anything about armor stats and specializions or give some tips? ive got the mats to craft some exotic gear and can get hold of some ascended trinkets – I was thinking I would need to mix in some defensive stats what would be best and how many pieces?

Also which trait lines are best for getting through Maguuma in one piece? I cant spec Chrono yet.

Happy to try different play styles depending on the traits, I didn’t really try that much when I levelled her before, but I prefer to be ranged and not very glass canon

Thanks!

Thanks for this,

its all great but im still at a loss as to a basic armor combo to set foot in HoT – I don’t want to use the new armor stats yet until im more familiar with the class – I took my Engineer in with Zerkers and 2 pieces Knights armor 2 knights/soldiers trinkets and she seemed to survive but she is medium armor with speedy kits.

Do I get 4 pieces Zerker gear then cover defensive with soldiers?
