Guild Wars 2

So I decided to start my third character, I’m trying not to craft and enjoy my 1-80 again, it’s been a while. I’m wondering what ways did you guys make leveling your warrior fun??

For example, I found a cheap great sword that I transmuted so I’m level 19 now with a great sword that looks bad *.

Also, I started watching livestreams of developers on YouTube while I play.

What all did you guys do to make this grind more fun??

I’m currently level 43 and I’ve often had to make a choice on gear between a power/vitality item and a power/condition damage item. I keep upgrading every 10 levels the blue PVP gear you can get, but that has vitality, which makes sense(PVP). But for leveling, should I be focused on the PVE gear with less vitality and more overall damage?

Thanks

So I want to completely wipe my drive and install the new Windows 8. (uh oh) Is there a file on my computer that I can save on a CD or my portable hard drive so I don’t have to download the 20+gb game and the updates?

Thanks
