Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, am new in GW2 and its crafting system.

I just been wondering; how useful is it learning armor and weaponsmith? I mean, it will take a long time to max it out, to build the best of what it has to offer, but I am wondering; is it worth it?

Like, can you build weapons/armor that will be useful and will use a lot, or should I stick to picking items after finishing story quests?

Hey guys, I just started playing this game couple of days ago and I could use some assistance with it. My only other MMO experience was WoW, and I stopped playing that one years ago.

I did fairly well in WoW in the DPS part, with the Warlock and Death Knight, so I figured I’d start off on a familiar ground with GW2. I just could use some help in figuring out which of the attributes favor the DPS on GW2 as a Warrior, and which weapons would do best; two handed, greatsword, etc, since there are different names here than it was in WoW.

I guess what I am asking about is what kind of gear should I pick for a DPS Warrior; one that has precision, power, etc?
