Guild Wars 2

..to come up with my own buil, or to find an updated skill build anno 2015, past HoT.

Anyways, I’m currently quite low level and mainly focussed on the pvE aspect of the game. I’m not saying that I won’t do any pvP at all – however, not the focus.

Of course I wouldn’t mind having a build that also can do well in WvWvW, but not a priority thus.

The weapons of choice would be:

Main hand: Axe
Off hand: Shield / sword

on weaponswap, the weapon of choice would be the Longbow.
Ok, ok, if i really have to – a hammer might fit in there as well, but preferably something long and bowy, shooting sharp noodles. Or was it needles?

Anyways, would be much appreciated.
I have no clue what I’m doing in the game and have wasted all my hero points I already gained by now.

I’m a full lvl 21 (and gaining – really).

Thanks!

P.s.: I’m not looking for the bestest out there – just anything workable in a decent manner.

Heya,

I’m a lv 11 (heck yeah) warrior, focussing on mainly the pvE aspects (for now). I’m not all that hardcore, though (long working hours/days) and, as such, I’m just in search for a fun, not all that serious, chatactive and helpful guild.

I’m from EU, btw.

I’ve played this game a little 2y ago, but so many things changed – I have no idea what I’m doing.
As long as it’s fun, right?

Right!

Thanks in advance.

P.s.: name is Archangel Of Vinea
P.s.s.: Yeah, I’m seriously lvl 11.
P…s.: Also, that’s a picture of a thief – I know, but she looks better than my warrior, d’uh.

Thanks.

I happen to have a lvl 45 guardian but no warrior – OF COURSE. Just my luck.

Don’t ask me how I got that lvl 45 guardian, I played GW2 when it came out and then put it aside as I thought PvE wasn’t all that rewarding. At all. Plus, I wasn’t one for the WvWvW stuff.

In all honesty, I have no idea what I’m doing but that’s fine. The good is, I can use my guardian gear on the warrior.
The bad is, I have to go over the character-making process again – which is going to take hours, aside of afterwards pondering if I shouldn’t have gone for that other race/gender after all..

D’oh.

Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Wished shields would have a more prominent use indeed.

Edit: how exactly do the two classes defer? Guardian seems nowhere close to be the “paladin” class nor the full tankiness one would expect of a “guardian”. What makes them so different than warriors, safe for the magic? Or is it really just that, the magic?

I’m pretty much ignorant if it comes down to GW2 – honestly, i have a really hard time wrapping my head around the skill/boon/stacking mechanics – I grew older playing with the more conventional way of skills and classes.

You know how they say you can’t see the wood for the trees anymore.
Well, this is kind of similar – I’m pretty much confused, so bear with me.

Additionally, if you feel this thread to be redundant, feel free to move/delete or ignore – though, I’d rather not, for obvious reasons.

To the point.

I like melee.
I like shields.
I like plate.

Every MMO I’ve played, be it Vindictus, Rohan Online, Last Chaos, Tera etc. .. I’ve played the guardian, paladin, knight, Lancer – if it has a shield and wears plate, probably just it.

Now, with GW2, I just can’t get the hang of it though. Shields block, or do they? Not in the conventional way, it seems.

I have a knack to go for the weaker classes/weapons – somehow. Not intentionally! It just always turns out like that. Although I can live with that!..somewhat.

So the actual request:

Guardian (?) – Warrior (?)

MUST wear a shield – by all means, no arguing here.
Matched with.. mace, sword, axe.. you name it.

second weapon set may differ from wielding a shield but should NOT become the main weapon set if you know what I mean.
Preferably NO Greatswords.

Really, no greatswords. Ugh – they’re so mainstreamed and cookiecutter-butterlike, I really don’t like them.
Whatever else, feel free to fill in though. I kind of like the warhorn – but not sure if that’s viable anyways.

I’m only going off from looks here, not utilities.

I’m not much of a teamplayer – just because I log in very randomly at very odd hours and, restricted to the minimum of play time i often get, I don’t usually have the patience to wait and wait for a party of sorts.
I just kind of do my own thing, gather, craft, grind – if I ever figure out how to, that is.

Not much a fan of PvP, but if you can suggest a build that works with the above and in PvP – feel free to add.

TL;DR
- guardian/warrior
- main shield / No greatswords
- mainly pvE
- light pvP
- solo

Doesn’t have to be the fastest killing speed ever, just a solid build to survive with.

Please, enlighten me!

Additional info on Armor/Weapon stats, besides Traits and skills are more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
