Guild Wars 2

As the title says, I played a bit way back when the game launched but was playing wow too much to really enjoy GW for what it was and only made it to about level 22 or so. I’ve recently come back and can’t believe the amount of stuff to do and content to enjoy in this game. With that said, I do feel like my leveling is going a bit slowly and was wondering the best way to use XP boosters that I have been awarded via packs/birthdays.

I have 2 Birthday boosters and 2 Experience boosters and would like to get the most out of them. I noticed that one of them says it works in WvW and was wondering if that was the best avenue to pursue or if I should just stick to going through zones and completing hearts/events.

I am open to pretty much any method (dungeons, events, questing, etc..)

Thanks for the advice!

I have to say I am a little disheartened, I usually heal in all games I play and it does not seem to be viable in this one.

Is there somewhere where healing comes into play and has more of an effect?

So I just got the game and finally got my engineer to 80. Excited, I spent what little gold I had (about 6g) on an entire healing outfit. Mostly toughness/vit/healing/condition gear.

Anyway, so I am pumped to go start doing my first couple world events (Shadow Behemoth / Wurm) and I am using the healing kit + elixir kit to splash heals around as well as using my rifle to pump some shots into the boss. After a couple minutes of this I am feeling good and the boss dies… BRONZE. What? I was so involved in that fight, I dont understand. I move on to the Wurm, same thing, healing and dpsing.. BRONZE.

WTF?? Is there a way to get gold as a healer in this game or is there no real point to being a healer? I am a little kittened because I spent all my remaining money on a set of gear that gets me bronze, I was hoping to forgo questing/eventing by myself and being mostly healing oriented but it seems I am being punished for wanting to heal.

Am I doing something wrong or should I try and get some gold and switch my specs?

Thanks.

Hey all,

So I just started playing gw2 when expansion came out as my gf was playing and wanted me to try it. Long story short I tried it, loved it and now have a level 80 guardian.

A few questions since hitting 80 last night.

- how to I farm skill points to get to DH? Just level, or Gian them 1 at a time in the wild?

- gear. How do I know what to get? I leveled with a great sword and 1h with foci and it worked great but now I have 13 gold and am afraid on spending it on stats/gear I’m not quite sure will be beneficial. Before I focused on power mainly but I seem to die quite quickly now when doing events heh.

- what to do at 80? Do I just go find events in the world or is there dungeons I can, raid bosses, etc.

I am asking here because my GF while really enjoys the game is more about aesthetics than game play, usually I’m the one guiding her in games and she is a bit flustered with the slew of questions I’ve been throwing her way so I figured ide come to the forums and get it from the horses mouths.

Thanks guys, loving the game so far!
