Guild Wars 2

My 7 year old has been enjoying GW2 since release and he has asked me to post a question about setting up his character. He wants to use a sword/shield and a rifle for ranged and he is looking for a suggestion on which traits to opt for. I just don’t have the time I wish I did to give him any sage advice so I told him we would put it to the experts and perhaps we could get him a decent Warrior. Any help would be appreciated but please remember he is 7 and I might as well be as much as I know of the game.

Thanks in advance

not a single reply I am surprised and disappointed at the same time. Guess we will have to do some reading since no on wants to even lend a hand to a beginning kid.

Considering your son is 7, and presumably playing mostly in PvE not PvP … this is what I came up with:

(Link broken. Copy this link address) – http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fIAQNAU8ejkOtupO2OMxBA8BsMPK6HiuMSaKA;TIAg0CnA

- Would recommend buying the healing/utility skills in that order (left to right).
- Tell him to use gear with lots of “Condition Damage” and “Power”
- Go 15 points into the Defense Trait line first for the healing then the Arms Trait line next

That should allow him to a lot of bleed damage whether its with guns or the sword, keep enemies away from him for a really long time (and on short cooldowns), and should be a pretty fun spec for a kid, especially with all those knockbacks!

Yeah, Deity forbid you do your own research.
