Guild Wars 2

Having played both GW2 and FFXIV, my experience has been the communities are very similar. The best for me has been GW2. I have found the most helpful people both here on the forums and in game. I only mention EVE Online in case you want to make a more contrasting comparison. I stopped playing that game over six years ago as I found the community there the most toxic of all the MMO’s I have ever played.

Hmmm… Your two choices may possibly end up making for a rather dull read. Spice things up and change one of them to EVE Online.

Love playing staff ele, but it’s challenging and I never have enough dodges available. Trait wise I run Fire-Air-Arcane, but am thinking of trying Fire-Water-Arcane. Lots to experiment with. Four years on and I still love the game, warts and all.

I’ve searched the forums here in case someone has already asked about this but so far have found nothing. I recently logged well over 200k exp going from level 61-64 without dying (although had a few close calls…) but this achievement still shows that I’m on tier 1 at 59k/200k exp without death. How does the game tally this particular achievement? Is it only exp gained from battles, or any exp? Can you be leveled down or is it only exp gained at your current level? Confused here as to how this one works.

drifter’s right on about ele’s being squishy and folding in half when hit. I picked ele as my first char’s profession, and while it’s been fun, the enemies were able to wipe up the floor with me on several occasions. I understand strafing is key while fighting, and I’ve been getting better at it, but when you’re up against multiple enemies, taking just a few hits means it’s over. As a new player, and with GW2 being my very first MMO, I’m starting to think I didn’t quite make the best choice for my first char. So… here’s a question: Since I have 4 more char slots available, I want my next char to be able to kick some major butt in fights. Out of the 7 remaining professions, which one would be my best choice??
