WvW still counts as a PvE environment, so you’re gonna need to upgrade your pve armor/weapons. If you go to Spvp, you can just change the aesthetics of your character, but you’re already at max gear.
Anyway, I’d suggest familiarizing yourself with the dungeons. They’re an easy way to get full exotics, and are good money. With that karma, you can get exotic temple gear (the 6 temples in Orr that have metas and karma vendors). They’re good if you just want the max armor, and don’t mind what the stat boosts are (they have a limited choice).
Do you recommend that instead of spending my karma on a weapon I should spend it on armor at Orr?
Buying a 2h exotic weapon with karma costs 63k I believe, but buying a 2h exotic weapon with gold at a Trade Post varies in cost but it seems to me there are decent ones floating around only 1-2 gold. As far as I can tell the exotic weapons sold at the karma vendors have the same weapon damage as the ones sold on the Trade Post, only difference is the stats.
So doesn’t it make sense for me to buy an exotic weapon on the Trade Post and then as you said, spend my karma on exotic armor?
Or should I not get an exotic weapon at all?
By the way I’m a casual player, I’m a university student who’s busy most of the school week so I don’t have the time to do the ridiculous amount of grinding in a short period of time to get a legendary weapon (I’ve heard getting legendary weapons take a lot of grinding and time). So in the short run is it smart to invest in an exotic weapon or no?
Hey guys I just hit level 80. Unfortunately I am still ignorant about gear.
As my title indicates, my main focus is on WvW. I’m a bit confused about one thing, are PvP specific items only used in SPvP or in WvW too?
If PvP items are only for SPvP, then what kind of gear should I be aimed for?
I have enough money and karma to buy an exotic weapon, should I do that or get something else with my karma (I have 112k karma right now).
Also I’ve heard that there is different kinds of armor, the three categories I’ve heard of are berserker armor (Power, Precision, Crit damage I believe), Knight (Power, Precision, Toughness?) and Soldier (Power, Toughness, Vitality?) I apologize if I have the stat emphasis wrong, but the point is, as someone who wants to be fighting in WvW I’m pretty sure Berserker is too squishy.
So should a warrior be getting Knight gear or Soldier gear?
This leads to what build I’m going to have, I’ve decided that I’m either going to have the Greatsword/1mace and shield build (for the stun and hundred blade combo) or I’m going to go with the popular 2h hammer and bow combo.
By the way, if anyone is going to try and persuade me to not use either of these builds, keep in mind that I’m only open to using a build where the main weapon used is a 2h. I didn’t roll a warrior only to use 1h weapons in PvP.
Thanks guys.
Hello I just hit level 80 with my warrior, unfortunately I am completely lost about what to do about gear.
In fact despite leveling all the way to 80, I still feel like I have no idea how this game even works. I don’t even know how to join parties or go into dungeons lol.
But anyways, I think I want my character to be focused on WvW. So do you get PvP gear for WvW or is PvP gear only for SPvP?
What should I be doing first to work towards being a good geared player in WvW?
By the way I have 10 gold and 112,000 karma.
What should I do with the karma?
Ever since I bought the game (about a month and a half ago, possibly two months ago) my GW2 game client will randomly crash. I say “randomly” because the only pattern I find with the crashing is that it tends to crash in certain areas where as in other areas there is no crashing at all. Besides that however, there is no pattern with the crashes as far as I can tell. Sometimes I can play for an entire day without one crash, and sometimes if I try and go to a certain area (like the blackgates WvW area) it will crash every single time I go there immediately.
What happens is I’ll be playing and then all of a sudden I am kicked out of the game immediately and an error message shows up.
Well I have clicked on the “Show specific details” button and it said this:

Can anyone tell me how I can possibly fix this problem?
Hello I am now level 70 with my warrior and would prefer to level the rest of the way PvPing.
It seems to me the two most popular builds right now in PvP are Hammer/Longbow and Mace Shield/Greatsword. The question I have is what are the strengths and weaknesses of these two builds?
Is one of them “better” at WvW than the other? Is one of them “better” at SPvP than the other? I understand comparison can be difficult if the builds are just fundamentally different, so that’s why I would like to hear the strengths and weaknesses of each build.
Hello I’m a newbie at this game, I just bought it on Saturday.
I want advice on which class to play in SPvP and WvW. I’m a casual player so I will be solo queing for SPvP.
I want to play a class that is good at both SPvP and WvW because I will be leveling my character in SPvP (since you get 80 traits, equipment, etc, etc) and once I hit 80 I will be doing WvW.
I tried playing SPvP with a 2h sword Guardian and I got my butt kicked. That’s not to say that I think Guardian’s are bad, it probably has to do with me being a noob. But the point is that I realize that playing PvP in this game is not easy.
So my question is, what’s a class that is easy to play in PvP that is good as well? I would prefer to play a class that is good at damage. I don’t want to play a class that is good at “bunkering” or is good at “support” I’d prefer to play a class that is good at doing lots of damage and blowing things up.
I’ve heard warriors suck at PvP even though they’re good at damage, so I don’t think warriors are an option. The classes that I’ve heard that are good at PvP are mesmers, ele, necro, thieves, and Guardians. I would be willing to play any of those classes. I’m not interested in playing Engineers or Rangers, they just look boring to me.
I also want to point out that I’d prefer playing a class that is good and easy to play in PvP rather than play a class that is “the best” but has a high skill cap to play decent with. I just want to play a class that is good at damage, is a strong class overall, and is noob friendly and easy to play effectively as somebody who’s new to the game.
Also it would help to if you specifically told me what weapons to use as well with the class/classes you recommend because I know different weapons give you different skills. A specific build would help to, but don’t feel like you have to give me all this information in order to post something here.
Thanks.
