Guild Wars 2

I am a newer player. I have one level 80 necromancer and have just gotten in to HoT content. I would like to start running fractals and the like with my friends, but I don’t like the necro’s best builds. Mesmer looks fun to play and really interesting, so I am toying with using one of my 80 boosts. Can I get some thoughts on what are the best ways to build for fractal play? I want to be as optimized as possible, so the my friends don’t have to be. I would love to use a greatsword or sword and shield, but I am flexible.

I really appreciate some feedback and any suggestions you may have. Thanks!

Whelp, Nevermind. Found another thread on this issue finally. Seems this has been a problem for some time, and there is no “fix” since this garbage is apparently working as intended.

Thank you to the ones that tried to help me. Sorry for sharing my frustrations. Hope you have a good day.

Bump. I am having the same problem! I was hoping for a solution, but instead I find my fears confirmed that there is no fix. I really don’t want to spoil the main quest line for myself. This makes me want my money back.

Maizan – I went in to one of the HoT area, and saw main-story spoilers in the opening cinematic. Really starting to get ticked off by this, but regardless, thank you for the attempted assist.

Thaddeus – When this pop-up appears after every kill, it says I am ready to train. I click on it and it says Masteries are locked until I do a specific mission. The wiki tells me this the second mission in the chain. I don’t see a way to make this go away without doing some story quests in Magguma.

I do not want to unlock Masteries! I don’t even care about the wasted XP any more! I just want to make this stupid tool-tip go away, so I can play through the rest of the stories at my own pace! I was trying to do the whole thing with friends, and we have to match our schedules to run dungeons and the like. Please please, someone just tell me how to make the pop-up stop!

I finally hit 80, and I am really hoping I am missing something. I want to do the story missions in order to avoid spoilers, but that is apparently keeping me from unlocking Masteries. I think it is stupid that I have to jump ahead to unlock a game mechanic, but whatever. I can live without them until I get to that point in the story. Maybe there is even some logical reason to block them before that point.

However, now I have maxed out my Mastery bar at the bottom and EVERY time I would get XP, a stupid pop-up tells me, “Your current ability is fully trained and ready to master!” The repetitive hint is really annoying me, AND I feel like I am wasting XP. Is there any way to turn this tip off (or just turn them all off) until I am ready to actually progress the story to that point? I have searched for an answer, but if it is out there, I am just not seeing it

Thank you in advance for any help.
