Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played this game since the original story, I skipped the Scarlet and Living World stuff, so this may be obvious to many, but it’s not too me.

What is the best way to level post 80 in the new zones?

So I thought the expansion wasn’t going to have levels…but instead I am now finding all content gated by masteries, which are effectively levels…so how is the best way to go about gaining XP now since so far I do not have any dungeons in the new zones that I have found (or mailed to me rather) and all I see are people doing events, which are fine, but they give next to nothing on the XP, I can’t imagine grinding those all day.

I’m stuck at having to learn up draft now or whatever the second Glidery Mastery is and honestly I’m starting to wonder why I even bothered to buy this game.

Thanks, I talked to some folks in game and it looks like I may be under geared as well. I am in the sets from the Order of Whispers, Priory and Vigil along with those yellow weapons and some karma accessories.

I simply just played the story and stopped, I didn’t do any of the Scarlet or Living World stuff, so it looks like things will be difficult for a bit until I get geared.

I guess I need to buy gems turn into gold then buy the gear off the trading post…not interested in that.

I have a 80 Thief, Guardian and Necro that I am trying to run through the story with. I could really use some help on what builds would work best for PVE storyline as I am just diing left and right even on regular world mobs and always if I get 2 or more with my Thief and Guardian. I never had these issues in the previous areas or dungeons.

My Necro on the other hand is practically walking through every fight unharmed.
