Guild Wars 2

So I did the “level as fast as you can” plan, so now at L80 I’m trying to explore the area, so exploring. Was wondering what a good kit (gear, traits, skills) to just roam.

The Lazy guide says Zerker gear with runes of the Centaur. I understand that for PVE a power build is generally the best. I do have some questions though

A) Would Knights or Soldier gear be better for roaming? Or is toughness and vitality overrated?

b) Presuming you have the gold to spend, would a separate runes of the Traveller be more efficient than runes of the Centaur? Again this is only to go roaming/exploring the map in PVE.

I’m guessing I will have more questions, but these are the first two I can think of.

You shouldn’t be getting hit, so toughness and vitality are meaningless. All that knights/soldier gear will do is make fights take longer and provide more opportunities for you to get hit.

Centaur runes are faster than travelers. Traveler is 25% movement speed, and centaur runes will provide you with 100% uptime on swiftness, giving you 33% movement speed. That being said, centaur runes require you to constantly be using your heal while travelers are completely passive. It’s really just up to you.
