Guild Wars 2

Wow, I could not of asked for a better reply! Thanks, I have been getting better at dodge as of late and learning to make sense of whats going on in the mass chaos that is a fort siege at SW.

I think I need to just finish out my gear…I think I under-estimate how much difference having all exotics, as compared to some pieces being rares that are from lvl 67-70, will make. Time to drop the gold and max out.

Thanks again, I am going to use your advice to fight with strategy/tactics instead of just trying to faceroll things. Warrior at endgame suffers a bit because the previous 79 lvls were just mash buttons and win.

I appreciate the tips and safe hunting friend.

Hey all, I just hit lvl 80 with my warrior about a week ago. I am trying to do my homework on gearing up and dungeons/WvW/etc.

What I am wondering here is about encounters like the map Silverwastes. I am just starting to build my first Exotic set, thought I would go with a dungeon build first so I can continue to work towards better gear and more money through dungeons and then branch in to WvW.

I just took for granted that I would run my Pure Zerker build in Dungeons and most PvE, and use a Soldiers build for WvW.

My issue is in Silverwastes I just get chewed up like no ones business. Now mind you I have a Exotic Zerker GS, Breastplate, and Pants. Nothing else, and lacking any runes, plus all accessories are like 30 levels old lol.

I am sitting on 40 gold. If I just spend all my gold, gear out a complete set of Zerkers and pick up some good quality food/potions; will I hold my own a little better?

I am using shouts/utilities for condition removals/heals and still just get mowed through in SW. I mean ive completed the Meta and get gold in most all events, but I find myself constantly fleeing to try and cond remove/heal or end up dying in a matter of seconds.

Places like SW be better in Soldiers gear or will I do much, much better dmg if I finish my gear and in return have better sustain if things are dropping much faster?

Thanks again everyone, I appreciate the advice and will take it all to heart. I also do understand that what ALOT of people forget is to become better at their class and to gain more knowledge of what they are fighting. A well played character can out perform a better geared player (to an extent) so I shall strive for a good armor/weapon setup while practicing more on my playing ability and WvW/Dungeon knowledge.

You’ve all been very helpful, safe hunting friends.

Clean and to the point. I appreciate the suggestions and figured it would not be that big of a deal but wanted to make sure the community wasn’t so elite they would faint if I was not carrying all that in the bank. Thanks for the help and anything else anyone wants to add is also appreciated.

So..I just dinged 80 on my first character, a Warrior. No big feat these days I realize but…I am stoked about being able to finally really tweak my gear as there will be permanent sets now since I won’t be out leveling the pieces as I go. Other then working towards legendaries/ascended items and what not.

So I have been browsing metabattle for a bit and its causing me quite the anxiety. How are you supposed to be “best geared” for Dungeons/WvW when everyone wants you to run specific runes/sigils dependent on the situation.

I feel I would need like 3-4 sets of weapons and armor all sigiled/infused up just to cover all the dungeons/WvW setups.

Its not just the time/hardwork/gold im concerned about as much as storage capacity.

I am not a hardcore player. I log in 3-4 days a week. On a good run ill burn 4-5 hours on a day off. Normally about 3 hours tops per day I play. I am not concerned about min/max and server known status as elite because I do not have the time/skill to be THAT guy.

So, is there a general rule of the thumb that will make me acceptable in Dungeons with one armor setup for all of em, and then a second set for WvW? ( PvE is simple enough I figured either set could work depending on situation)

I just know that most dungeon builds I read are Berserker and WvW can be Zerker/Soldier/Knight just depending on what position on the field you intend to play.

I am elite squishy…still learning to time dodges and find myself mighty, mighty squishy. So prolly run the Frontline Shouthealer build from metabattle?

Anyways, if you read all this…thank you, here’s a cookie. All I am really looking for is:

Can I lock in one Dungeon Gear setup for ALL dungeons and still be perfectly capable of doing my job without raging other players in group? Same goes for WvW?

I do not care for the headache of 10 different weapons with different setups and 6 sets of dang armor all with different sigils and blah, blah, blah…

Thanks in advance to those who know these areas of the game well enough to inform me if I really need to nit-pick this or not.
