Awesome, feedback thanks a ton this is the kind of stuff I am looking for!
Thanks again.
this sounds a lot like what I was looking for in a post of mine but can someone go into the details of some of the runes and trait trees. I am basically brand new to GW2 and been having difficulty even finding an active guild which caused me to delete the characters I had and transfer to a new server in hopes of better luck finding a home.
I would love for someone to go into some detail on the rune selection traits weapon and gear/tool kit combos they use for their engineer.
Also is it best to just wait till level 80 to join in WvW since unlike PvP you don’t get all of your traits unlocked etc.
All constructive feedback welcome!
Thanks,
Schmitty
Okay, so I just started playing again after a very long break.
And I don’t know if it is because I am just slow but, i tried a few different builds on different classes over the weekend and I just threw my hands up in frustration after not being able to either,
a) grasp the mechanics of my skills / fighting in PvP
b) or I do not fully understanding the stats/skill builds
c) just plan suck (I PvP a lot in other MMOs and normally fair well). I was not at the
bottom of the points/kill lists in my matches but I would say I was bottom middle.
Please constructive feed back only, I really enjoy the game and find that I must be missing something.
I tried several professions and several different fan sites recommended build for classes but found that I had trouble being effective with a lot of them but, saw other players in the Arenas using those builds and having a lot of success.
I am wondering if my runes/traits/gear upgrades are what I am lacking. I am not looking for a faceroll kill everyone build just some help in understanding some of the character features.
I am also going to focus on one profession right now and that would be Engineer. I have read several posts about them being broken and several more about them functioning fine. Honestly so far I have found them fun to play with lots of options so it works for me.
First, I was thinking of going dual pistols(unless there is a better reason I shouldn’t in PvP or WvW).
What are my best traits and skills? I was maxing out two of my trait lines that had to deal with crits/dmg and pwr. with putting the rest of my points in the traits that gave vitality. I tried a couple flavors that neither seem to work or that I couldn’t seem to make it work.
I had a difficult time trying to decide what the best upgrades would be for my weapons and gear. I know most people would say this is preference and I would agree but, there has to be some common sense things that maybe I am missing that a veteran player would notice right away. Like no if you use dual pistols these are the best runes for your weapons etc.
I tried stacking Power and tried stacking condition dmg. Both were OK but I would run into an issue with certain classes swapping the conditions back on me and had a little bit of a time trying to figure out the best secondary skill point skills to use together.
Anything anyone can help enlighten me on would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Schmitty
Thanks I will try this post over there.

Thanks for your input, yeah I am not looking for a faceroll class more like a good place to start. With out personally knowing all the abilities yet of the classes I was hoping to get some outside input on the overall performance of some classes.
I know what you are saying though I have been scanning the forums and it seems like there is a lot of crying going on about almost all the classes which doesn’t help the process, LOL.
Every class cannot be horrible. I have to say I was looking at thief, engineer, Warrior or possibly even one of the caster classes memer/necro/ele.
I decided against Guardian and Ranger at this point and actually on the fence about Necro I have never been a big fan on relying on pets.
Thanks for the input. Bias is OK as long as its not just complete stupidity (i.e. Class X is teh roxxor and class y is teh sux).
I would like to hear people opinions that’s why I posted.
Thanks again.
Hey GW2, I have not played since about 2 months after release due to some personal issues that I was dealing with.
Looking at the game now I feel with all the events and I am sure there has been a ton of patches/changes since I played last, I was hoping to have a few friendly folks give me an idea or two of the state of the game. Since I am getting ready to jump in once more!
I plan on starting from scratch with my character thinking that this will be the best way to learn the class I chose from the ground up, instead of relearning a character I already have (they are both only mid level anyway). Any input on race and profession would be great! I am the kind of person that has one of every class in almost every game I play. I really do enjoy playing multiple characters / play styles so I am just looking for the biggest bang for my buck.
Also any help with picking a server that has a good population would be helpful too.
At this time I do not know anyone playing GW2 so finding a friendly and active guild would be helpful as well.
When I played last, I played an Asura engineer and a Charr Warrior. Found both to be fun but, i wouldn’t shy away from one of the other classes either. To help you guys out I mostly enjoy PvP / WvW when I played. And do the necessary amount of leveling of course.
Anything constructive would be very helpful, I have been looking over the site and will be digging through some fan sites as well. But would really appreciate real feedback.
Thanks for your help!
