Guild Wars 2

Hi guy’s. Just started playing this game about a week ago and I must say I’m enjoying it quite a bit!

I rolled a warrior to start as my main character basically because I like the idea of the class. I want to be a big building death dealer out on the battlefield in big scarry looking armor.

With that said I’ve found that I lvl faster by just working on heart quests, exploring, and my story line then I do at WvWvW. Granted I’ve not yet gotten into a guild so I’ve just been pugging so I’m being much less effective because I don’t really know what’s going on.

Does anyone have any suggestions on gearing up as I lvl? And what talents and traits I should be focusing on? Seems like eventually you will have all talents purchased but I’m not sure if I’m spending my traits wisely. I have 10 in strenght and that’s all for now that it will allow me put in. what else should I be putting points into? Also I’m not really wanting to spend a lot of karma on gear that I will out lvl really fast so should I just be using what ever I can find through quests and such and not worry about gear until I get 80?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give a nub warrior that wants to get better!
