first one, because there's less noise (not a fan of the shoulderpads, might work on a sylvari)

There's nothing in HoT for you if you're not at 80, but now when you buy it you get a little token to boost one character to 80.

Three mongrel men in exchange for a party member? I found that one in the Faustian Bargain Bin.
I also like the second better.
Next time take a photo somewhere more neutrally/evenly toned to make it a bit easier for us to parse.

Why, with the vast fashion options available, would anyone pigeonhole their character by insisting that they look like their archetype?

Because the druid shoulders are cool.

Also you are literally the only class with an animal next to them at all times so its not like your look is gonna matter that much anyway. :v:

I haven't played this in ages so I'm probably just going to start with a new character.

Does the expansion add anything from the beginning?


Edit: Wow I missed someone asking it on this very page.

The only thing you'd be missing out is playing as a revenant.

I think dressing like your archetype is dope, and I love fantasy druid aesthetics. I could see how it might be bad for PvP if you're a class that gets singled out though.

Does anyone know how fast legendaries sell on the TP? I got a scepter precursor drop during the HP train yesterday and was thinking of crafting up the Meteorlogicus and selling it since I have a lot of the mats on hand already and it would get me like 3x more gold from a buy order than just selling the precursor. I was curious though how fast it would move if I put it up as a sell order since I could get even more gold doing that, but there's no point if they don't sell and it just sits there on the TP forever.

Judging by this it probably sells pretty quickly actually, although of course it's impossible to tell exactly what's going on there.

My Sharkspear sold within 4 hours of me listing it about 9 months ago. I assume it hasn't changed that much since then.

All the actual content and PvE/WvW access to the elite specialisations is max level only, but you get a character slot, an instant level 80 boost, and unlock revenants and access to the elite specs for PvP. If you PvP more than a small amount and think you'll stick with the game, and/or think revenants sound cool, buy HoT now. If not, wait until you hit 80 and reconsider.

i mean, buying HoT also turns a free account into a normal account, which gives them the full 5 character slots (+1 for the expansion) and everything else included with that as well.

I was under the impression the extra character slot was only initially included of you preordered, or if you buy the middle of the three tiers available for HOT. If I'm wrong that would be great.

When I bought the basic edition of HoT it only came with 5 character slots.

How much is a character slot by itself? I'm full from years ago and not sure I want to delete any of them right now.

I still need to buy HoT, so I'm not sure if it's worth buying the middle one or not.

If you're a Ranger on a Raid, go full Druid. YOur teammates need heals.

If there's already a Druid on the raid team, you want a Power Ranger for spike DPS, and this build will also poo poo out buffs for your pals.
