Guild Wars 2

Very great and comprehensive guide, especially for players new to the game or new to MMORPGs in general. GW2 lacks a lot of proper tutorial elements (especially in PVP, where it just sort of dumps every aspect of combat onto you at once and expects you to know what to do with it), so it can be very overwhelming at first. The three basic steps to creating your own build greatly simplify the flow of customizing your class to work best with your own playstyle. In addition, the three basic types of combat greatly simplify the flow of combat (which can be overwhelming due to the abundance of boons and conditions in GW2) to a triangle of three general aspects that are easy to identify. PVP in GW2 is very fast paced so anything that simplifies the logical flow of an encounter greatly enhances your ability to process your next move faster. Overall, great guide that made me rethink my approach to making builds.

Guardian experts: What are your favorite builds for PvE solo leveling and world completion? I’ve got to 40 using mainly greatsword, staff, shouts, and some fairly tanky traits, but personally it’s been sort of boring to play. Just wanted to know some other options from the players who really have a lot of fun playing guardian. Let me know if there’s already other threads that discuss this. Thanks!
