Guild Wars 2

The idea is that you already have the max stats possible, maybe you can modify your set with different runes, gems, etc. you just have to worry on getting cool gear. and yes you have a lot of grind to do if for example you want a legendary weapon or the full set of a specific dungeon. you will grind but not for stats, just for the appearance

I think its a good idea, i actually thought about that before with my necromancer.
This should be available for all profession that summon pets even if they are temporary pets. like guardian pets.

actually i had the same problem that you had. but i just use a waypoint to lions arch and re-enter the story. the problem is that there is no green start that shows you were the ritual is. so i found it behind me after i talk the first time with GRIXX. after you talk to him you will see behind you a fire circle, stand there and you will transform into a super fire warrior and everything will be easier and you will be able to complete the story quest. sorry for my bad english i hope you understood.
