Guild Wars 2

Hey guys! Thanks for all the tips and encouragement. I joined a group and ran the Arah storymode dungeon last night and it was lots of fun! I let them know it was my first time and after my nervousness left I think I did pretty well, (:

I was lucky to be a part of such a nice team and I’m looking forward to trying the other dungeons now. Again, thank you all for the encouragement and helpful hints, and I hope this thread helps to encourage other people like it’s helped me!

Hello everyone and Glitch!
You recently posted on a thread of mine where I asked for some advice on the Dungeons part of GW2… Thanks alot for that!

Name: Guns (that’s entirely my partner’s fault)
Main Character: Daemera
Current Server: Isle of Janthir
Interested Activities: Socialising, PvE and Dungeons too.. eep!
Active: Play mostly on Fridays and Weekends, but also in the afternoon throughout the week too!
Additional Comments: I’m an Aussie so est. time for me, though I do stay up late. I’m looking to start giving dungeons a go seeing as I’m at endgame and I’ve dodged them entirely so far… so I guess I’m looking for anyone who’s patient enough and willing to help me out on my first run!

I find dungeons quite intimidating.

I read lots of stories in the forums about how everyone just wants to get through everything as fast as they can and with the best lvl 80 players they can find, and so I’ve managed to get to level 80 on my necromancer and to the end of my quest storyline without playing a single dungeon.

This being said, you can imagine my dismay to discover I need to complete the Arah dungeon storyline in order to complete the main quest.

I guess I’m intimidated because I don’t know how to go about joining a group in the first place, and I also doubt my ability and necromancer build as well. It all works really well for me in game but I don’t know how liked or disliked necromancers are in the dungeon world – and how best to play mine.

I also don’t know the maps of any of the dungeons, how to run them, the shortcuts, or what you even do in there haha. In short I’m really inexperienced and I’m worried that a group I join will be expecting more of me because I’m a level 80.

Anyway, I’m not too sure what I’m asking but any help or encouragement would be really appreciated. I’m certainly not a bad player and I would be a really good listener, and it would be nice to be able to explore this part of guild wars 2 now that I’m so close to endgame.
