What is the best class for rolling through the story? I'm pretty sure I never finished Season 1, barely touched Season 2, but for some reason I'm interested (even if probably going to be totally confused) in Season 3 and just wondering what class has the least trouble with the story encounters?

Oh god this rear end in a top hat, he was somehow in Bloodstone Fen whenever I logged in for the first week it was out

really thin-skinned too, one polite 'please stop' and he blocked me

I just hope that Icegore character is another alt of his and that there aren't more than one there are dozens to hundreds of them

Necromancer or Warrior are both straightforward, strong, versatile, and durable, so they make good "just get poo poo done" professions.

Does Living World Season 3 still have the 2 weeks to claim thing? Haven't played the game since the launch week of HoT (didn't have time then forgot). I've got a lot of catching up to do. Again. :sigh:

They are doing the whole sign in during the story to unlock it thing, but the episodes are going to 2-3 months apart this time around. So as long as you own HoT and sign in, you should be fine as you'll be waiting for it to catch up this time around.

He then gave the names of two twitter accounts, both a personal one and his character's account, asking for people to argue with him there.

Judging by his posts, his only concern in life is the right to look at exposed nipples in video games, and how ArenaNet is a bunch of SJWs for censoring the Arah armor.

Just for people who might now know for today's sale: bag slots are per character, no account wide, keep that in mind if you're unsure about the value.

Bank expansion will probably go on sale on some point during the anniversary as well, depending on your storage needs.

It's also basically the standard sPvP build, but you get to zip around on your Nimbus 5000 to stay at maximum range and/or hide in towers, instead of being expected to contest a capture point or heal allies.

Not that you can't do both of those things if you want to. The shouty druid is such an incredibly effective build. I've take to using "Sic Em" over "Guard" though because it's funny to screw over anyone reliant on stealth.

Sounds interesting. I might give this a shot and see how I like it since I haven't really gotten into Druid yet but when I did switch to it I just wanted to basically keep playing it like I already did my ranger rather than trying to be some weirdo healbot.

You can play druid basically the same as you play a regular Ranger build only with druid you get to cure all conditions + get stealth and super speed every 10 seconds, it's p insane. I haven't played druid in WvW but I can only assume ancient seeds fucks the average WvW player up

There are options for PvP standard models (and colors). It will make everyone on the opposing team human with a specific set of armor that corresponds to their class.

I think he means a unique icon for the elite specialisation, which would just mean a button that says 'I bought the expansion/am a condi warrior'

When/how often do goon guilds raid? Are groups generally willing to bring new raiders along?

My Chronomancer's about geared up enough for me to feel okay taking him on the raid, but I haven't done it yet and I don't exactly want to PUG, at least until I learn how things work.

I dunno when they raid, but I know that Cletusraid and EUraid always bring new people and they're absurdly nice and helpful. Kes made fun of me but hey he'll get what's coming to him *adjusts trilby*

Do any of you spec into your elite but not use the elite weapon?

I've done so with Reaper as an experiment and, if Greatsword wasn't so goddamn good, I'd stick with it. Condition/Minion Reaper is a lot of fun.

Chronomancers often don't use the shield in small group or open-world stuff, though it looks like it's a mainstay in raid builds.
