Guild Wars 2

Khisanth.2948:

I salvage everything and open all the bags but that is mainly an convenience thing. For optimal profit it will be different on a item by item basis and these things can also shift quickly in a short time. I can’t be bothered to track that sort of thing.

Pretty much my thoughts thus far exactly

I’m a fairly new player or at least I still think I am. My highest is about 52. I was wondering what is the best thing to do with bags that you get from enemies i.e. the Tiny Bag of Skritt goodies and gear that I don’t want. Since I started I had been salvaging the gear and opening all the bags, but I noticed I might get more if I just sold them on the Market. What is suggestions you guys have?

btw, you could also consider just buying three more character slots, and role one of each. Then, as you waver between which class to play, you’re not starting from scratch.

That is a good idea sadly I’m broke. Only got this game as a belated birthday gift.

I’m an expecting mother so the first thing I want is to be able to do things solo. I do also want to be desired and have my roles in groups. I’ve played all the classes for at least a few levels most to 10-20 and my highest a warrior to 45. Right now I’ve been bouncing between my necro, mesmer, and warrior. I love feeling like a kitten and wading into baddies in heavy armor, but something about the other two have my eye. I’d really like to pick one and push on to 80 and ejoy the end game. Wintersday looks fun I don’t want to get bored either just because I feel the need to get to end game. Thanks in advance for any insight into the manner.

This was one of the first games where I really had trouble getting into a class because of a lack of meaning to picking your class (i.e. Trinity) I have gotten all 8 to 20 before, some on more than one occasion, and I usually end up quitting them and deleting them. The only one that I or my wife has been able to level to max is Guardian. It’s fun to play. You have options. Building tanky or dps feels like it means more as a Guardian. I can actually heal others enough to make a difference in WvW.

Guardian is a good solid choice for solo, PvE, and PvP. You will always be wanted and feel like you are contributing.

That pretty much sounds like what I’ve been doing the past couple of weeks since I got the game. I love how GW2 does things. It feels very refreshing and I imagine I’ll stick with it for a while, but like you said it’s hard to pick a class. Definitely have old habits to break.

rodadams.5963:

Let’s see:

Open World Solo: Warrior, Guardian, Ranger, Necro
High Dungeon Desirability: Guardian, Warrior, Elementalist, Mesmer
Subject to Boredom: Warrior
Able to wade into a pack of foes like a bad kitty: Warrior, Guardian, Necro.

However, a few notes:
- Any class can solo open world, some just have to work harder than others (mesmer, thief)
- Any class played well will be welcome to any dungeon, just some are seen to be more valuable than others.

Overall, though, it really sounds like you want to play a guardian. They may start off feeling a bit soft, but they become just beastly, able to tank more than most, with options to pump out buffs and heals… all while maintaining respectable DPS.

Thanks I’ll give that a try today Hoping to get some play time in.

Want soloing you can pick : Guardian/Warrior/Necro/Ranger

But what are you looking for. you have to give us more detail.

Like a specific role play element,

or a fighting style (melee/ ranged/ magic oriented/ tech)

Also if you interested in WvW/PvE/SPvP/etc in a slight way that may temp you into playing it at max level.

Also what trinity role you enjoy (Tank/ Healer/ DPS/ Support/ Control)

Also any Weapon/Armor you prefer. best to list in a ranking order from best to least for you, so we can come up with something for you.

I’ve typically gravitated to Tanks and healers over pure dps even though I’d always say I wanted to be dps for once. Typically I prefer PvE, but I can on occasion get into PvP if the right people are asking. I generally love heavy armor, but the light armor gets pretty good when you get to higher levels from what I’ve seen.

Thanks for all the responses so far =D
