Guild Wars 2

I Returned to the game after almost a year and started playing alot of pvp, but i feel that i am at a disadvantage for not having HoT. When I search for the best builds for any class in MetaBattle the best builds always require HoT.
Should I buy HoT for better pvp perfomance?

Hey guys, I love to play Warrior but i don’t have HOT yet, and i would like to know if the full zerker gear and GS/Hammer build on warrior is any viable for pvp or WvW.

Every time I play Gw2 i usually have no lag. but when i open the black lion trading post i get huge lag on it. the rest of the game runs fine but only the pop up window of the trading post get extreme laggy, and it makes it almost impossibel to sell items and buy. please help. i have no idea how to fix it.
