Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the information!

I should say, that i was part of the Beta club for this game and had a very difficult time picking a profession – i like them all.

Currently, I like both Thief and Warrior.

However, I’ve been reading mixed data on the two professions (in PvE). It seems that thieves are brought strictly for dps – and provide no utility for groups; easily replaced. You’re either D/D or Staff. True?

Warriors seem to be forced to bring a single a skill-set to provide might/banners for groups… True?

Having said that, in group play (in all modes) which profession is more valued?

I have 3 types of play style that I enjoy in PvP / WvWvW:

1. First one in, first one targeted, probably first dead.
2. Sit on the side of the ‘pack’ and pick off squishies when they peek out.
3. Middle of the pile supporting.

PvE:
I generally like high impact classes – something that is always useful. (*)see below

I’m open to recommendations. I’ll play any profession (except mesmer/ele), if it fits the above – my experiences are 4 years old and dated.

When i played Beta, i liked playing Necro to Death shroud into WvWvW piles. Back then all the craze was “100Blade Noobs” and “Unload Noobs”. I ultimately decided to play Mesmer because at the time of release no one could wrap their heads around it and having the Distortion shatter for the “xxxx noobs”.

(*)As it’s easy to see the current meta, i don’t know past metas. What is the trend for the professions?

Thanks again!

Hello,

I played this game hardcore when it was first released. I did everything the game had to offer by November of 2012. Having said that I burned out quick.

My character was a decked out Mesmer.

Now in 2016 i’m taking a very casual approach to GW2.

So i started 2 new characters: A thief and Warrior.
I’ve been enjoying the thief the most as with a d/p setup i kill mobs rather quickly and i find that to be fun.

However, i have a problem – I don’t quite know what to eventually ‘do’. I feel like every recruiting guild for “noobs” is just massive guilds where no one does anything with each other.

Is there any recommendations for guilds for someone who wants to play semi-serious? Should i be looking for guild that does certain events?
Is there any recommended sites for ‘guides’ for dungeons/fractual/raids?
Any recommended YouTubers with walkthroughs?

I’ve found Metabattle and it has been slightly helpful.
At Lvl 31 I’ve been using Air/Bloodlust weapons and combinations of (1 of 6) Runes that provide +10 Power in armor (Of Centaur, Of Strength, Of Ele, etc) and Carnelians – Is this recommended?

I’ve heard of sites that show world boss timers? Anyone have a link for that?

I have been working on clearing each zone to try and get 100% world completion again. Is this recommended for leveling? Is it better to just stick to the highest possible Hearts?

Lastly, I keep seeing Daily stuff pop up above my minimap. How do i access that? I’m assuming it’s for higher level play.

Thanks.

Here is a video review of ALL of the Mesmer traits. If you watched any of the videos I have posted on YouTube, you will know that I love to change up builds. I have come up with some pretty unique ways to work odd traits into builds…

I have used just about every trait the Mesmer profession has to offer. Having said that, I can give a fair opinion on what traits are good, bad and mediocre. I also assess what traits should be avoided and which I feel are mandatory.
