Guild Wars 2

As a casual I can say this does not alienate us. We are not forced to do monthlies and if we do wan to achieve it, just run some fractals and 5 story mode dungeons. Go get some Karka kills and call it a month which is plenty of time to complete these.

If not, wait for December and see what they have to offer. For me it was a nice way to see content I would have normally not seen as I usually engage in WvW.

So I was reading that a guild left Darkhaven? Who is the bandwagon jumper this week? Just curious!

And I like Ethersin a lot, a very enjoyable commander to be under. I also enjoy Rethesis, they seem to know how to get stuff together and take things! (Well, the few golem crashed I have been to were cool.)

So what guild left this time? Was it one who joined us last week because we were winning? Or was it one who joined the week before last because we were winning?

Sorry it is hard to keep track of all the guilds who come and go so often…

So..what guild was it that left this time?

There’s a rumor and nothing more. People causing drama.

Huge WvW guild ICoA left.

Just tried again and was able to get in.

Same issue here.

Same here but mine finally started working.

Well, well, well worth it

You can use GS + staff with that build. It is what I plan to do since those are the two weapons of choice for me. Especially in WvW

I am still working on that. I do like to get into the mix a bit and I seem to survive a bit more with the guardian when I do so. I will be trying this a bit later today..

Well for me, the biggest advantage in WvW with the GS warrior is travel. I use skills #3 and #5 to get around. HB is hard to land against players. In PVE the GS warrior is pretty fun. The longbow is fun on the warrior btw.

The guardian does not have to stand still for my GS main attack. I think that with my utility I can bring more to the group with a guardian and I can adapt to the situation.

I have a level 80 Guardian and a level 80 Warrior. I use a GS on both and I still cannot decide on my main. I think the Guardian GS skills are fine and a bit more engaging than the warrior.

Guardian is more fun, you can play attack, defense, healer/buffer/support. Warrior basically you just going to play attack.

This has been weighing on me as well. If there is anything that puts the guardian ahead it may be this. Choices are always a good thing.

I like both classes, but I dual wield axes on my warrior or switch to axe / shield depending on the mobs. Dual axes is a ton of fun…love the “clank” sound eviscerate makes when it hits, lol.

Greatsword I use with my Guard.

Heck, you like alts anyway…who says you can’t have 2 mains?

I just hit 77 on my guardian thanks to crafting last night. I might just have to have 2 mains until I can figure this out.

May I ask, what is your play style? Do you go all out offensive or the thinking “kill before getting killed” or do you like to take your time, pull mobs and show them your defense?

Hard to say. I like getting up in the mix and kill before getting killed but in saying that I will say that it seems like I can do this better with a guardian. Mainly because I stay alive longer or at least it seems I have more tools to do so.

@Knives – True that advice is biased.

@Wooboost Define selfish.. I agree that it’s not a bad thing, just curious what you meant.

Has anyone been in a similar predicament and if so how did you decide?

I am posting here because I figured if I posted in the G/W forums the response would be biased. There are no damage/dps forums so here I am.

I have always had ALTitis and with GW2 I want to have more of a true main character. The problem is really the amount all of these classes offer is mind boggling. I have realized over the years that I need to have an alt just to break the monotony. I have also learned after trying all of these classes in GW2 to at least 20 and even re-rolling some higher level characters that I am not much of a caster. Having range is nice but I am not a cloth kinda guy.

This all led me to Thief/Guardian/Warrior – I flat out love the melee weapons and getting in the mix. I have been a LONG time rogue so thief will probably be my alt. Deciding between Warrior and Guardian has been a nightmare. I finally decided to just roll them both and I still can’t figure it out yet they are too similar to have one as my main and one as my alt.

My warrior is level 80 with 3 pieces of exotic armor from Orr. I like that he carries around a big greatsword and can range with the longbow. My guardian is level 64 and is just as cool with the greatsword. A little weak with range but that’s ok. The “blue” color of the skills on my bar and the blue spell animations make up for it. “I have purchased electronics because of that blue color”. I am really at a loss here. To the point that I am frustrated. I mainly play solo occasionally playing with a friend. I love to play WvWvW and enjoy all aspects of it. Zerging, defending a keep, taking a supply depot etc.
