Sorry it took so long to respond guys:
- As i read the comments.. I prob am running a glass build. . . #smh
(I’m new idk any better… )

So im going to list what im using. You tell me what im doing wrong and what to replace. #PLEASE

build:
-Zerker spec paired with discipline and defense.
zerk- up down mid
discipline – up down down
defense – mid up up
- ive been changing this around a ton..so its all out of whack..

100% zerker gear (rings /accessories / neck & gear) + ascended weps.
(power/fero/ precision)
-I CAN REPLACE THE EXOTIC ITEMS IF NEEDED. BUT NOT THE RINGS/NECK/ACCESSORIES. OR WEPS.

-Using 100% superior rune of the scholar on armor

Running Greatsword / Rifle (both ascended with power/fero/prec)
(i also have an ascended greatbow + harpoon gun.)
- i got 4 drops from teq in a week.. (ikr?)

I’ve cut my play time way down simply from frustration.

I think you guys helped me find my issue, that im running an all damage build.
can u please list a detailed build/gear replacements (if needed), rune replacements ect?
#Thanks
<3

Hiya People,
I came to GW2 when it went f2p. Enjoyed my time, progressed ect.
I eventually bought the full game / Heart Of Thorns.

I’m running A zerker warrior mastery level 30.
So I’m a bit behind most players and still learning maps, how to get around, enemies ect.

Things I Liked About HoT’s :
-The 1st /2nd map in the expansion were fun.
-Earning the mastery points & hero has been fun.
-The environments are top notch.
-Enemy mobs are very unique and offer different / interesting gameplay.
-The events are great. (when you find / get to them)
-Gliding
-The little bit of raiding I tried was fun.

The things I’m not liking:
-As a new player I have no sense of direction; where to go ; where to be at a given time. (To be getting chain events / good mastery xp / bosses ect)

-When I hit Tangled Depths I’ve just been getting my face pwnd. Dieing to everything even when food buffed / changing my build / hell even boosters sometimes.

-MAPS ARE CONFUSING AS HELL (Depth-wise)
-for example im having trouble finishing a part of my personal story..b/c i cant figure out how to get to the green star.. +sections of map are locked off sometimes & updrafts don’t catch you often if you’re just a little low. (grr)

-To many things require groups. WHEN NO GROUPS ARE AROUND.

-Using LFG for taxi’s is almost a requirement, but I’m new and don’t know all the names/titles of things people are running.

-I’m running out of CORE game mastery points, and don’t know where 2 find more.
(other than season 2? ($$)

-As a zerker warrior with decent gear (all ascended items except armor which is exotic) I expect to feel like a tank. not a squishy mage getting my face rolled by NORMAL MOBS.

As stated I’m pretty new, any tips / help would be accepted. I know what google is and the wiki. I’m still having trouble.

I’m here on the forums rather than playing b/c im sick of dieing and not being able to find my objectives + wasting xp boosters i BOUGHT going in circles.

I’m in a guild but not very active..so if anyone has an active guild running these maps i would love an invite. Or good zerker builds I would appreciate that as well.

Solutions:
-Add some more visual direction in the game, or like objectives with time stamps…
-Ease the outgoing damage a bit on the open world hots maps… least look at tangled depths..
-Look at zerker warrior as a whole. (there was a 1-2 day period i was face rolling everything solo. Fast forward to now it’s opposite.) (??)

edit: I can’t tell you how many times I have logged out, out of frustration. Rather than being immersed in this beautiful mmo as i should be…

it would have been nice to know, as a new player that In game time wont change with irl time.

now my world boss run is an hour earlier and i missed tek tonight ect.
my in game time matches my real time, but now boss spawns are an hour earlier.
the boss timer isn’t in sync. (shows +1 hour)
