Guild Wars 2

I just hit 80 and am trying to optimize a build, it seems like most of the stuff floating around online is outdated (2012 or 2013 ..)

What are the best pets and where do I get them?
Are there any ‘must have’ traits or skills that are basically required?
What is the end all be all legendary weapon that I should be working towards?
Anything else I need to know?
Thanks

I only found out about it a couple weeks ago myself, but this seems to be what you’re looking for.

It’s a build guide to all the “meta” builds at the moment, and is updated somewhat regularly. Definitely worth a read for your favorite class.

So is a ‘roamer’ build for just all around soloing / questing / etc?

Roaming refers to small scale fighting in WvW (solo or in a group of 2-5 ish).

If what you’re after is soloing PvE / Questing then the “General” tab is the one you’re after.

Idk, the meta build they have for Ele is pretty outdated/opinionated.
