Guild Wars 2

Around a year ago I used a full Cavalier set with Defender runes for my pure melee build, which had incredible sustain through leaps in Healing Spring and through the runes. It also relied on “layups” for proccing Moments of Clarity and Opening Strike with GS#2. However, much has changed in the game since then, and I wondered what would be a good substitute for this kind of build.

I see a lot of you guys talk about getting fury procs from traited survival skills, yet the new GM trait reads “Use sharpening stone when you strike a foe below the health threshold (75%). Survival skills have 20% reduced recharge and remove conditions.” I see no fury here.

My feedback:

- My biggest gripe is that t took away the charm of the starter zones by removing content. RIP golem chess :,(
- Introduced two friends to the game after the 75% sale. Explaining various game mechanics was insanely annoying when they were so limited. They could not even see half the things I saw on the map.
- Leveling new alts without tomes has become a grind. I need to be lvl60 to unlock master traits and 80 to unlock grandmasters? Man, that is some bull.
- And of course, story inconsistencies.
