Guild Wars 2

sooo….first: i came back to gw2 about 7-8months ago i dont remember after a long break because i was bored with gw2 after the first 2-3 months. So i had the "newbie"thing on myself. but i had luck and a old friend took me everywhere and explained what is going on – and hell i was confused. (manly because everything was done with fgs which got nerfed shortly after and everything changed a lot i pugruns)

the friend told me to play ele or warrior. because it would be “easier” …yeah… not. phalanx warrior is easy but expensive to hold up the might. and ele and mightstacking… well a sience in my eyes xD

i tried many classes because i started 2 y ago with mesmer. now i have 14 characters and stayed with thief.

i died more than i can tell without being ashamed. mostly because i did not dodge in the right moment.

noooww i got used to the meta and know most dungeons like my handbag.

my personal expierence was : be honest if you pug. if you are 80 and zerk in a zerk group they will tell you what to do. as long as you are not a bearbow. but for that there are plenty of information here.

i found many people to play with while beeing honest with them that i dont know what im doing. mostly they went with me if they got spare time and helped me learn. (lfg system – usually pugs that just went there because their guild was away)

just some things:

1. learn the short words. like sr xD

2. cathograph the map find your class you like and READ what your skills do. read traitguides and learn what they DO. DONT just put a guide in and move on without knowing what it will do to your skills.

3. ask people you meet and like how they play and ask if they go storydungoens with you learning. usually on 80 you can do that easy dou. really! xD

4. find your way of learning. watching yt videos was absolute useless for me. doing it and just run behind my group and ASKASKASK helped me more.

5. ASK ASK ASK . i always hated people that knew nothing and did not asked a thing. always seemed like they dont want to learn.

6. every one does stuff a little different. but some stacking points are the same. if you dont stack the mobs WONT move right and you will get blamed. one mistake? no problem. but more … well….nope.
most gamers are not patient.

7. if you are told there will be stealth…. cuddle with your thief. im always tempted to put people on a leash.

8. if you ask and nobody answers try to wispher them.

9. if you dont know the way tell them. someone will run with you usually.

10. dont snowflake around if the new group does something different than others. just deal with it and ask if you dont understand. we get a lot critic for using pleanty of stealth. just because we expierenced its easier to get everyone to the boss with stealth than without.

sorry for some things other said previously. and my crap english . and i wrote it on a phone. spelling errors will be 1.50€ grammarerrors 2.30€

i have forgotten something for sure but no idea what.

ps. i needed months to get where i need what stealthskill. i always ask my friend “here it was sr riiight?”

well and i have 8.300 ap just because of gw1 & i did every archievment which i could. JP for example

If you got Problems with that Boss – Grab a Friend.

We have done it together (1x Zerk Warrior , 1x Condi Warrior because we always do the Living together) and it was really eaaaasy… I got downed once because i forgot to dodge

With the Chasing thing – Just stand in a Corner and try not the get charged, dodge out of the vines and run with the dogs (Or kill them meele if you dont need the Achievment – If you need it run or kill it ranged). Not that difficult. Maybe its just easy with Warrior but i dont think so – I had to meele it because i forgot to equip a ranged weapon.

He does some other funny things in the Challenge Mode and larger AoE’s but nothing special (The Open-World Dogs deal more damage just because they are always in a 2-6 Doggy-Pact.)
