Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, I’ve just started playing again after (about) a year long break. I think I quit back in may of last year. Anyway, I was just wondering if there were any big profession changes since then? I have every profession at 80 except for elementalist, so I was wondering which one I should make my new main if there have been big changes.

I know there are patch notes posted and everything, but I really don’t feel like sifting through ~10 months worth of notes, so any info here would be greatly appreciated. Or, if you could just link me to patch notes where these types of changes are covered, that’d be great too!

Thanks.

I’m liking the idea of this build, been looking for a new roaming build(leaning toward your second one). Has anybody tried this build or a similar one? Or do you happen to have any video OP?

Hey everyone,

Just rolled a mesmer for the first time. I’ve been kind of avoiding them since release because I’m not sure about how I feel about the play style. But I broke down and tried it out. Currently I’m lvl 22 and had a few questions.

Firstly, I just don’t really know what role or build I should be playing. I’ve poked around the forums a bit and saw that Sw/SW + sw/p seems to be a popular weapon set And i’ve been running with just the sw/sw leveling up and I’m not too sure if I’m playing it right. I just feel like I’m lacking sources of damage. I’m pretty much just putting up clones so mobs don’t attack me and auto attacking until blurred frenzy comes off cool down.

Secondly (and pretty much the same as thee first), I don’t really know where i should be heading for end game. So if anyone could shed some light on that, that would be great. I’m mostly going to be doing pve dungeons and some WvW probably (I’m actually looking for a good solo/duo roamer class which is why I finally decided to give mesmer a roll).

Hey all, just recently started playing again and hit 80 with my thief and before I spent all my gold on new lvl 80 gear I just wanted to make sure I had a plan for what type of build I want to use. So I come to you pros!

I’ll start out by saying that I’m mostly going to be doing mostly PvE (dungeons, fracs, world explore still, and events) with SOME WvW thrown in (maybe a lot).

As I was leveling though I really liked the idea of a lifesteal build, using signet of malice along with traits that heal when stealth. Are there any good builds like that around? I’m struggling to come up with a source of damage in my theorycrafting of this. Anyway, any ideas for any fun builds are welcomed

So I just hit 80 a couple of nights ago and since i was going to roll all new gear, decided I might try a new build. But I’m not sure how I feel about it now.

I used to run toughness+healing power while leveling and making use of regen. I was really hard to kill, but as you would expect, very little damage. So I switched to a cross between condition damage and crit damage. The basic theory is to stack burning and then swing away with crits.

Now I have the exact opposite proplem as my last build. I melt enemies in seconds, but once I get targeted while running a dungeon I go down very quickly. My main focus is to run dungeons right now with WvW being in the near future.

So I guess I just want to know if being squishy just comes with the territory, or should I switch up my gear a bit? I spent a good chuck of my money on this new set and I feel if I go half tanky I wouldn’t be good at anything (still die fairly quickly without being able to do any damage while I stay up).

Edit: here are my stats with my gear now if it helps:

Power 1892
Precision: 1563
Toughness: 1358
Vit: 1305

924 Condition damage
24% crit damage
2,420 armor
15,430 health
