Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone!

I’m still pretty new to Pvp. Is there a clearly better reward track in the eyes of more experienced players, or does everyone just pick tracks for the skins they desire?

Thanks!

So I tried the vanilla necro build out and had a lot of fun!
I got ganked my first game when trying to capture home, but my second game we won and I went 16-0! I even went up against a flamethrower engineer and won!

I was hoping to get a little guidance on how to play the class, though. I’ve kinda just been mashing buttons and getting lucky while sticking close to teammates! Can anyone give the general idea and some combos? Some of the skills confuse me because they put condis on me lol

Thank you all for the suggestions!

So for the flamethrower engineer build…is the basic idea stack burning as much as possible, use the tool kit for interrupting/defense, and slicer for defense/stomps?

Thanks Exedore!
Could you provide links to some of those builds charchar?

I do enjoy playing Mesmer

Hey everyone!

I am looking for a class/build that doesn’t use an elite spec (I don’t have HoT). I’ve been playing the ranger and guard builds from meta battle. Are there any others you would care to recommend?

I am open to using any class; just looking for some fun!

Thank you in advance

Hey everyone! I have a level 52 Ranger that I’m loving. I’m hoping to get the HoT expansion, but things keep coming up!

In the mean time, I would love some armor/weapon skins as well as some minis if there are any you just love! I’ve been running around with the mini dragon you get for securing your account..

Thank you very much

I’d like an invite! Thanks

Hello everyone!

I just hit lvl 80 and am looking to get my first exotic set.
I enjoy pvp and some wvw. I also have never run a dungeon, but I think I might like to do some of those as well.

What would be a good 1st set stat wise? Also will the new HoT expansion shift the favoritism away from berserker gear?

Thanks in advance! I just don’t want to make my first set a waste ^^

Hello all,

I logged in and downloaded the client installer from the “my account” tab. I was never prompted to “install”. I just had the option to run or cancel. After updating all the files, I was able to play as normal, but noticed I never had the option to create a desktop shortcut or anything. Any time I want to play, I have to find the “Gw2Setup.exe” by searching windows to open the launcher.

That was about 2 days ago. Today when I searched for the Setup.exe, it started redownloading all 300k+ folders again.

Anyone know what’s going on?

Thanks in advance!

So new characters will have traits unlocked until lvl 30. What about older characters?
Let’s say I leave my guardian at lvl 29 before the new system. Will I be “grandfathered” in, or will I be switched to the new system?

Sorry if this is an obvious question…I just skimmed through the post on my phone at work >.<

Allie Murdock.8152:

As Orca pointed out, some people aren’t as fond of the pets. The idea of the buff would be to appease everyone. Also, what if stowing the pet and having an aspect gave the Ranger some kind of aura that communicated to others they are in that “aspect”? Would it still feel like the pet was a part of you if them being stowed affected your physical appearance?

If not, I don’t think the aspect idea would be a necessity for players. There are definitely things that need to be done to fix Ranger pets in general, and it’s something we are well aware of. If we fixed those things, but maybe also added in the aspect idea, I think we’d be in a spot where everyone would be pleased, no?

Just musing!

I know this is getting old, but….

The more I think about the whole “aspect” idea the more I like it. The risk/issue, however, is that you’d want both the pet and the “aspect” to be viable choices. Is there a way for the buffs to be situational depending on the “mode” per se?

My thinking is that when the pet is an actual pet, you get more of an offensive buff. In contrast, when you channel the “aspect” you get more of a defensive buff.

Bear for example: when the bear is out the damage is still split (85/15 or whatever) and the F2 skill has an offense flavor maybe along with short, reoccurring party buff or something. When the “aspect” is channeled, the ranger gets a big ole spirit bear hug (with a corresponding visual change) and the defensive buff is a party condition cleanse every so often or something. Maybe even toughness/vit boost of some sort. Since the pet is no longer a damaging entity, the ranger gets a damage compensation.

This might appeal to both the pet/no pet ranger sects while hopefully promoting smart usage between the two modes instead of the “permastow” threat that may occur. Ranger weapons/traits would need some lovin’ with this method though.

Let’s be real, this would probably be difficult to pull off. Between the balancing/animation/general pet improvements (I’m still in favor for an aoe damage reduction/longer hit range), and other stuffz, it’s probably not a reality. Can’t blame a guy for hoping though, right?

Hey, I was just wondering if I could get more info on the rotations of the S/P spvp meta build. Videos or anything would be appreciated

Asura, Norn, or Sylvari male toon?

I can’t decide!! Could anyone post some pics or help? I was looking through the sticky and I ended up adding Sylvari to the list >.<

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

I’m coming off of a long break. Originally I played ranger, but the engineer has appealed to me as of late. I’d like to get into some wvw. Mostly zerging because I still don’t feel comfortable enough with the class to roam.

I’ve been reading around and have gotten a few tips; however, most of the advise seems to lean towards the rifle. I would like to use pistol/sheild with kits, but can’t manage to hammer out a solid build myself. I usually just panic and start tossing ’nades into the crowd lol.

I’m sitting at around lvl 22 right now and steadily growing. Any advise and tips would be great. I’ve ready some pretty good general tips already, but would like some specifics.

Thanks in advance!
