Guild Wars 2

Morning all,

I have a few questions being new to GW2. I am currently playing a guardian and liking it very much. In terms of gear and weapons for levelling should I be using a 1h sword or mace with shield or just use a 2h GS? Also in terms of crafting my own armour I am aiming at doing damage plus being able to support with healing when needed in a pinch so should my gear be mixed with toughness, healing power and power?

Surely you jest Cyninja? 2minutes to hit max level oO?

That’s a very, very exaggerated time frame if you’re just starting out, don’t worry. Cyninja is most likely referring to Tomes of Knowledge (items won in PvP or gotten from rewards that level a character up by one level) or crafting (which requires a lot of gold to do). It should take, on average, around 40-50 hours of gameplay to reach max level if you start out exploring the world and doing your Personal Story. And that’s all depending on how hardcore you are about your leveling process.

Oh phew was worried for a moment haha. I don’t plan on PvP until I’ve gotten a grasp of the mechanics and the profession I’ll eventually choose. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Morning all,

In a few hours give or take (installing GW2 as I write this) I’ll be one of a few newbies in game. I’m a veteran of WoW raiding being a healer and dps when needed. Just a question into which profession would be best to learn the game on for currently the elementalist and Guardian professions both seem appealing to myself any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
