“I want to be a Tree!”
Love the idea – if we ever get this, though, no canine pet while wielding that skill.
Wiki isn’t going to have everything listed for these, especially for things with lower drop rates like lodestones.
You should update the wiki!
It does vary depending on what you are trying to do. Many people agree that Knight’s gear is the best way to go for armor. I’m currently using gear with a nice spread between toughness, vitality, power, and healing power. This is mostly due to the fact that I like to not die.
That is a good idea too. A dead person deals no damage regardless of what their stats might imply.
You could ask your guild to invite you I suppose, we’ve done explorables with lower levels (not that low mind) but with a lot of effort and skill you can be useful, even with less damage all your negative effects will still work fine, so you could specialise in knockdown/blind/cripple mobs :p
You can’t do CoF p1 though, since there’s a room where everyone has to split up and solo a bunch of mobs to get through. It’s a nice room
You can … but you need someone who is willing to do the whole thing up until the last boss then leave the party. Of course the party would have to agree to that as well.
If you can get your guild to help it would probably be less of a chore to just do other stuff to level quickly.
4) Don’t go too defensive.
I am not suggesting you make a glass cannon but how fast you can kill matters if you want to level quickly
5) get the cheapest food your character can use plus one of the sharpening stone/maintenance oil/tuning crystal. That will add 20% to the base exp you get per kill.
Guardians use scepter mostly as the only option since it’s really the only ranged weapon (staff is also ranged but much shorter range).
I don’t have experience with other classes, but I use the scepter a lot on my mesmer with a condition damage build. Scepter autoattack on a mesmer gives creates a clone every 3 attacks, clones do almost no damage but you can trait them to apply bleed with critical attacks, so you have 3 clones applying bleed can stack fast. Also since you can only have 3 clones out at the same time, creating a new one destroys one clone, and you can trait for clones to cripple and apply more conditions to nearby enemies when they’re destroyed, so you can keep kiting and crippling targets while you bleed them out. Also the constan flux of clones are perfect for shattering builds.
That said, if your goal is for a character to wield meteorlogicus I’d go with an elementalist… it’s just that it gives me an elements vibe that fits it better, IMHO. Now if mesmers could just use bows, the dreamer looks like a perfect weapon for them (though I think the bitfrost fits them very well too).
Your post made me realize the OP should go with Mesmer! Why? With all the other options you only get one Meteorlogicus but with a Mesmer you get 4 of you holding Meteorlogicus.

A Guardian can be a perfect fit. What more can you ask for than a spy that nobody would ever suspect of being a spy?
That aside, as seen in one of the personal story steps sometimes there are missions where you need to escort/protect people.
All three Orders need members with diverse skills. This is probably more true for the Whispers than the other two since many of what they do is done in secret. Last thing you want is to have rely on someone you don’t necessarily trust to perform those actions.
