Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I played the game for some time when it released but put it down for a bit and am coming back. I played a Ranger, and enjoyed it leveling, but at 80 I felt very under powered and the pet AI was….less than desirable.

I am looking at rerolling either a Thief or a Necromancer, but cannot decide which.

I will mostly be doing PvE with some WvW so I do want something that works well with other classes (or has a purpose/role in a group). Any insight on these two professions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I am seeking a EST guild (or one that plays around 9p – 2a EST) to join up with to do some WvWvW. I currently have a Ranger on Dark Haven(?) that I played at release, but had to stop playing for a bit. I would not mind rerolling and leveling a new character on any server, just want to find a core group of players dedicated to actual WvWvW. Please let me know if there is a need for a specific role/class as I am willing to play anything.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to getting back into the game!

I have done both at 80 and like the longbow more simply because the shortbow bleeds are kinda the main aspect, but require you to be behind the target. In questing and grinds, not an issue too much, but in PvP and dungeons, I found it difficult to position yourself. I stacked +condition damage and had over 100 point ticks for my bleeds, which was nice, but it was hard to sustain in most fights. Some dungeons are just too cramped so the shortbow is better since you do not lose any dps from distance, but the positioning can be rough.

I recently switched to a pure power, precision, +crit dmg and really like it. I am grinding dungeons and some WvWvW and it plays to my style; sit in the back and hit hard. I would like to try a healing/support build, but those spirits just cannot survive…but that is another discussion.

From what I understand, you have to do this all in one session. I cannot remember where I read that, but people have tested it out several ways and have found that you have to do it all in one area and cannot log out, leave the zone, or die (of course). It does become easier to obtain once you are higher level when you get more XP per kill and doing events, heart quests, etc. I am level 47 and the highest I got was 61k/75k, an intend to get it today while questing in a new area.

My suggestion is to find a new area that you have not done anything in and then do everything (quests, POIs, Vistas, gathering, etc.).
