Guild Wars 2

Awesome thanks for the feedback, is appreciated

Ah ok thanks I am still learning and play pretty casually, I do really love the wvw of the game and the mesmer is super fun. Samiell mentioned a 20/0/0/20/30 build that I liked but I do not know what major traits to use in the build. I also love staff but in the air if I like scepter/focus or sword/focus, been using scepter/focus a lot of the time since I prefer hanging back from range. I was also looking at a 20/0/20/10/20 build

Samiell.1259:

Advent.6193:

or 20/0/0/20/30. Reduced Glamour cooldowns, and with Domination 20, glamour fields slap 5sec of Confusion to anyone what enters or leaves. Fun with portal/veil/null/feedback

Absolutly wrecks people in WvW. Huge staying power with 1300+toughness, using a few carrion rings etc..20k hp. 2300 armor. The only thing that will ruin your day is a 1v1 dual with a very good d/d bunker ele or a bunker guardian.
The build makes itself amazing when paired with a huge dps number class. I run with my zerker warrior friend that makes art work out of a hammer/GS build. 2vrs6 is our high number right now.

I tried making this build on calculator and was wondering where the 1300+ toughness comes from, is it via armor and weapons and sigils? I goofed around with calculator and wondered if this build would be ok with a duo and for zerg support

let me know if the major traits i selected are good enough or are there better ones to select that sync well with other major traits. Thanks, Sly

lol Marengsen @ the 11 years thing, I had many classes on all realms too, but my love was my druid, but that was because my guild set up RvR nights and we ran 8man or 16 man assault grps/gank grps, and healing them and being support was so fun while they melted faces etc, goofing around on vent while we all got drunk or other things I didn’t need to out DPS since heck I was a druid I had no dps. But I didn’t do pugs since no vent or no skills or no synergy, and I guess deep down this is what I miss, the comradery. I did have my lowbie stealth guys I would play in BG’s to escape the healer role and could solo pick off casters standing in back lines. I look at a warrior it is fun, but they are everywhere, then guardian, same everywhere, the mesmer is fun but I get 2 shotted (yes he is level 21 so hope that gets better) then I think how about engineer not tried that yet.

Dolan here is why, back in the day on Dark age of Camelot I rolled an armsman at release, the class was worthless in RvR initially, 3-4 years later it became a good class in RvR. Back then it took 5-6 months to max level since I work, have a life, etc and it was just a lot harder to level just how it was. So I don’t want to WASTE 6 months of my life, I would like some direction not to waste my time and find a class and build that suits me, I’m not looking for a 1 click fotm pew pew kills everything easily class. I’m not a tool or a troll, just a guy who enjoys MMO’s and would like to find that 1 main class that I can have fun with in my limited free time and not smash my face into my keyboard because it sucks and is worthless in RvR or here its WvW. So that is why I google builds and look to the community for some help.

Also my guild is chalk full or guardians and warriors, not sure if another one of either professions is a good idea.

Thanks all, the Mesmer is fun and he is only level 21, so I have to assume more levels he just gets better. Hmm I have a low guardian, but the lack of ranged damage sort of threw me off pursuing that profession.

Yeah probably going to sound whiny or like a dear diary post. I can’t seem to find my “Main”. I very much enjoy WvWvW and to some respect PvE is fun. Played 5-6 different classes to roughly 20, Warrior, Guardian, Ranger, Mesmer, Necromancer, Thief (only to level 5) , (deleted an Elementalist and Engineer also) since I only bought 1 extra slot. My buddy is playing a thief and he loves the class he is almost to 70, while I sit and spin my wheels unable to choose.

My problem is when I start playing lets say warrior I have fun switching from GS/LB taking keeps etc but then I start reading build posts I don’t know how to spec the guy or what armor or what’s better power or precision, etc etc. The Mesmer is so fun, but try to keep up with my buddies thief sucks since no perma-speed and feel like dead weight, also I have no clue how to spec him. Guardian I don’t really care for and ranger I like in PvE not WvWvW, and Necromancer not at all. Finally thief I haven’t put much time into since my friend says prepare to DIE A LOT while you level up which sound like a pain in the kitten

So after getting that out of my head, what do we have, Mesmer, Warrior or Thief, well at least I am narrowing it down, lol. I am use to playing a support or healing class in MMO’s but that was when I had a regular group to run around with, now it’s me and my buddy in a decent guild but nothing structured, lol older guy that needs structure. I need a role to fill choosing on my own opens too many doors and I get over-whelmed and frustration sets in and game feels like work instead of fun.

Thanks for letting me vent, and if anyone has any insight or ideas for me I am open for help.

Thanks,
Sly

Hello, I was reading your guild website and was very interested in joining your guild, I do have a couple real life friends playing and would love for them to join as well. We are all mature down to earth guys who love MMO’s and looking for a good group of people to wage war on the enemy with whether it is PVE or PVP. We are all new to the game, but have been playing various MMO’s for 10+ years now. I am an alt-aholic, but I think I found my class, currently a level 15 Charr Warrior named Ozzrorg here on Anvil Rock server. If you want to know anything more about please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
Jon
