Guild Wars 2

Can someone help me understand what everyone is saying, Whats a reaper, is that a build? I just started the game and rolled a necro, i have no idea what weapons to use so i am on here trying to find info, problem is I have no clue what everyone is talking about 110% of the time. Could someone help me out please?

Each profession/class has five “specializations” that you put points into as you level in order to specialize your necromancer to be unique. The reaper is an “elite” specialization tree that is being released with the expansion and was just beta tested last weekend by the player base. Most of the forum talk right now is feedback on what they liked or disliked about the reaper specialization.

If you just started, simply try all the weapons and see which one you like the best / works best for you. Some are close-range or long-range; some deal direct damage while some inflict conditions (debuffs) to do damage over time; all of them have abilities unique to themselves. Just look through and try which ones you like.

Are you committed to the points you spend while leveling or can you change later?
And thank you for the explanation. Now if i could just find a decent guild with team speak or etc etc

Once you spend your hero points (the points you get when you level) on your skills or specializations, I do not believe you can get them back. However, you get enough from leveling 1-80 to unlock everything and once you have them, you can switch skills and specializations any time you want so long as you are out of combat.
