Guild Wars 2

I see you’re already sold, but as a former DH raider, I would concur that Dagger/Dagger Elementalist is surprisingly close to a Havoc DH. Lot of dashes, and the dodging will be familiar. I’d lay hands on a staff as a secondary weapon (even though you can’t switch like other professions) as there are some big open world and story encounters where the staff makes life a lot less dead.

I used my Path of Fire 80 boost on ranger, and the gear it gives you (longbow/2h-sword) I’ve been pretty happy with. It’s pretty versatile, pretty good at both melee and ranged situations, and I haven’t felt the need to replace the default gear at all yet. Very survivable, and pets. Not quite a WoW Hunter, but not too dissimilar. It’s the simplest class I’ve played (only one I haven’t yet is guardian) by far, but it’s not quite old WoW arcane mage. Mesmer might be a good choice as well. Not totally sure, but it looks like you’ll get Sword/Sword as one weapon set and that’s pretty simple (for mesmer) and powerful now.

Don’t forget, you can try out the char at lvl 80 in the Silverwastes without committing to the boost. Once you leave the zone it’ll ask you if you want to keep that character boost it, or undo your boost and restore the char to what it was before you boosted. There’s really no downside to filling your available character slots with different professions and trying it out, as long as you’re careful to undo the boost.

Ah, I did see that topic, but I haven’t had it restart, so I figured it was a different problem.

I’m having constant crashing on one of my machines. There is no obvious rhyme or reason to the crashes, and the GW2 crash reporter never launches. The only record of the crash is in the Event Viewer application log. I’ve pasted in the two most recent event texts that appear in all of the crashes I’ve found. None of the different exception codes are obviously related to any in-game actions/events that I can think of. Also attached is a DxDiag
