Guild Wars 2

Thanks Guys. I’ll do some more research when I get back tonight.
I’ve been looking at Crafting and Artifacer seems to be the right way to go in our group.

Thanks for responding Bubi

From what I’ve read over the last 2-3 pages, Conditional Damage is pretty much out (or Average) and Power is where it’s at…

But I did see an interesting “Chaos build” which is Staff based posted on Page1 somewhere and also seen a few posts about “Chronomancer Builds”.

Also, with regards to builds, I assume you have to think about Toughness/Power/Vitality/Condition – is it’s simply the larger the figure the better on the route you take for your build?

Hi Guys n Gals of GW2.

So, this is my first post since getting the game (16th Oct). Totally new to GW/GW2. Have spent the last year and a half in LoL and ESO – so have some concept of how the game in general works…kinda ?

So after looking around and reading and speaking to friends who moved across to play GW2 (6 of us in total) I decided to go for an Asure Mesmer. Everything kind of pointed towards taking an “easier” route and going for pure DPS but wanted to concentrate on something that would take a while to master.

There’s the back story. Sorry if I bored you, but thanks for sticking with me. Thought it would be worth putting it into context.

As of last night, I am at LVL35.5 and seem to be holding my own so far. But I’m not really sure what I am doing when it comes to investing the Hero points and what I should be looking to build. As with all forums and information on these types of games, almost all builds and Theorycrafts revolve around a LVL80. Which I do understand, but doesn’t help those starting from scratch.

I’m running GS (main) and Staff (Secondary)
I’ve maxed Duelling as everyone said that’s the way to go.
I’ve almost maxed Illusionary I think as well (going from memory and typing from work)

So what should I be looking at and what should I be doing at this stage?

I’ve seen a few builds on the forums and links to BattleMeta and the likes but I’m not one to “just run with the Meta”.

I’m also so new, PVP and WvW is low on my list right now – just enjoying the change of scenery and the PVE for now. Possibly with some Dungeons in due course.

So what would your advice be to a newbie like me?

Cheers All
Mos.
