Guild Wars 2

I’ve just hit level 40 and I have become a little lost. The Master book reset my trait points and I have a little more freedom than before. I could use some advice on some trait routes.

To narrow it down a little I’ve been mostly using Sword/Pistol and would like to see some builds for that but I’ve also been considering DD. Is DD viable?

I will be mostly running open world PVE to level up but I occasionally do the odd Dungeon as I go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There really is no reason to not use Sw/P for leveling. You can use other weapons but itll be a LOT harder against groups since sword is the only weapon that cleaves. Youll die a lot more to since you can’t avoid as much dmg as Sw/P can.

For your first 15 trait points I’d suggest putting them in acrobatics. Thatll make it even easier to survive. Then just keep dumping them into crit strikes/deadly arts until you end up with 25/30/0/15/0. Your armor should be full power/precision gear, and full power/precision/crit dmg once you get to lvl 65+. Stick a sigil of bloodlust on your sword as well. You could even buy life steal food to make it do it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to die.

Why?

Just go play spvp and buy levels with glory…
