Guild Wars 2

Well hello everyone..

I just recently started playing gw2, and so far it’s been pretty good..
I would just like some help on a build..
I like using shortbow, and i’m curently going for condition dmg.
Can anyone make a build for me, or point me in a direction for one?
It needs to be mostly pve orientated, but if you can give me another for pvp it would be much appreciated

And if you could tell me, which traits to get first it would also be appreciated since i’m only lvl 42 ;P

Go into the mists and try out the skills and rune sets. Fighting those npc classes is just like PvE.

You wont waste money for gear or trait change either.

Dont be lazy.

Well it’s mostly because “building” a build doesn’t mean anything 2 me.. I just wanna go out and shoot things ^^

How do you get the npc’s? When I talk to the npc he says something about maybe should try the dodge trainer and wont let me get a sparring partner.

Until you reach lvl80, you can use all power, vitality stats. You won’t get a super crit chance at your level anyways, so you can ignore precision, and toughness probably as well. You can try traiting 15/0/0/10/5 with taking keen edge, and nature’s protection in the marksmanship and nature magic trait lines. Swap pets to shoot faster, yaaaay Be warned though, if you take your ranger into wvw you will acquire repair costs, and lose hair, and you will probably uninstall the game. Play ranger if you want to be good with it. If you just want to shoot stuff, you can try a warrior with rifle/longbow as well.

The dodge “trainer” is a golem that spins. It will be annoying untill you find out that the dodge button is mapped to “v” by default. This will not teach you the art of dodge though, which is of utmost importance in spvp, wvw, dungons. Hope this helps.

Thanks nagymbear, although how do I get to the npc sparing partners?

There is an area in the north east that has a npc repeesentetive of each class that you can 1v1 with. Its a good way to test builds in a more active environment.
