Guild Wars 2

Did you consume a Chalice of Glory (Deluxe edition bonus item)?

I did buy the Deluxe edition years back so that might be the reason.

Thank you for solving this mystery for me, it was driving me nuts

The 1 is showing you have 1 exp out of 1500 towards reaching rank 8.

So it is.. thanks for the heads up >.<

I still don’t know how I’m rank 7 when I’ve played no PvP matches.

I’ve got this weird bug where my PvP rank on the character select screen says 7, but during game-play its set to 1.

I have not tried PvP yet so I expect my PvP rank to be set to 1 for both.

I like Knight equipment myself with my Hammer Scrapper. With Mass Momentum trait and Sharpening stone, I have 2600 power and 2600 toughness. I seem to do decent damage, high toughness plus Toolkit help against power builds, and Alchemy with Elixir C and Adaptive Armor help with condition builds.

I use sigil of energy as well as Adrenal Implant trait and food with endurance regeneration, so lots of dodges.

Honestly, the game is a lot more fun if you develop your own build though, rather than just copy that of someone else or from some website.

I know what you mean, just hard to make a final decision what to invest in.

I currently don’t have heart of thorns yet so I can’t use the scrapper stuff.

From experience as an engineer I feel that toughness or vitality is important, otherwise my health goes down to quickly without it.

I think Rabid gear makes for a good all around build and isn’t a huge hassle to get although due to the high toughness you’ll probably get targeted in raids so I’m not sure how practical rabid is in raids.

I was thinking Rabid equipment, what upgrades should I invest in do you think? Like sigils and that..

When I started Guild Wars 2, I chose to be an engineer because I liked the idea of using turrets.

It was always something I found cool, the idea of creating a line of defense, support to back you up, it was the same for me with other games such as Team Fortress 2 and Borderlands 2.

As of now, turrets have become completely useless through updates to the point I never use them, and as far as I can tell, no one uses them. Might as well be made out of paper considering how easy it is for them to be destroyed, and their damage output is not high enough to justify their usefulness, and last I checked, it takes too long for the skills to recharge before you can set up the next one.

Will there ever be a point where the turrets will be useful?

I’ve got plenty of gold, karma and laurels and I was planning to invest in a build, but I’m not sure what I should go for in terms of equipment.

My intent was to make an all round build i.e. something I could use in WvW, PvP, etc.

Was thinking of leaning towards Precision, Condition, Toughness sort of build.

Any ideas?
