Guild Wars 2

At the minute I use a staff and a greatsword/pistol and sword. I didnt realsie traits were so important and I haven’t got the manual as it’s a few pieces of silver out of my price range. I also think that I probably should spend more time in the game lol if I want to level up faster.

Okay, I have found it much harder to level up my mesmer char than any of my other ones. Now, I am new to the Guild Wars Franchise, having only played a little bit a few years back, but am experienced with these types of MMO. So, are some other classes just way overpowered, am I being a massive nub or is there something I’m missing? I try to do all the events, a fair bit of crafting, and the main quest, but I have had friends who started when I was level 10, and are now level 36 by the time I was level 16! Maybe time spent playing is a factor? IDK. Help, anyone?
