Guild Wars 2

Hey there!
I am really new to GW (joined 2 days ago) and I am trying to find a guild that is willing to have a super noob in their group. I am looking for something casual as i work full time and go to school but I like to get online to wind down and relax.

My home server is Isle of Janthir and all my toons are really low level right now.

I am an experienced MMO player with experience in WoW and Final Fantasy xi. I learn quickly and like to have fun

Thank you for your help!

Just the general MMORPG advice. For a Ranger, build on Power and Precision as well as Crit Damage and you’ll be great. As for the traits, most people do what they want and decide what works best. If you’re not a person that likes to do that, there are multiple builds on the forums all over the place. Other than the general advice, hoard money like it would save your life one day, because it probably will. Hang out with people that you like and start leveling with them/doing quests. At level 35, start doing dungeons to level up and gain money quickly. Hope this helps

First part of that post in maybe the worst advise to a new ranger ever. Never use power, prec and crt dmg build ( bers ) on ranger, cause you will die in seconds in www and pvp. You may try that in dungeons, however I don’t see reasons behind that as well. Rangers in this game are NOT like rangers in other MMOs. The can’t produce tons of damage even in bers spec and are easily outdpsed by ranged wars. Our class have major issues discussed in a nearby thread named “Robert Hrouda…”.

So, sir, i personally will recommend you speccing in a trap or BM build. Both these builds have detailed explanation on forum pages and in google. Also consider watching some videos on YouTube. You might as well want to visit a thread named “Little Ranger Tips” nearby.
But never use a glass cannon build on Ranger in this game – it pretty much lacks cannon actually.

Best wishes!

I am a Ms.
Thank you for the tips. I will check those posts out here shortly. I have always been a caster class in all other games i have played so i am way outside of my comfort zone here.
I have been looking into the BM build. I think that is the direction i am going to go in for now.

Thank you again!!!
