I crashed the other day while equipping an ascended trinket and got the "report this error to anet!!!" Pop up but as it hasn't happened since i forgot.

Also thanks to the guys who let me tag along to Dragons Stand last night, I'm now only two things away from the first tier of Nevermore!!!

Couple questions:

1. How's Druid? I'm trying to decide what to use my 80 boost on. I was originally going to use it on my Necromancer but it turns out he's already level 61 so that'd be a huge waste, so now I'm between Ranger and Guardian.

2. Anyone still doing mastery point trains these days? I should probably finish up the HoT personal story but then I'd like to get my gliding good enough to enjoy the new zone. All I have are updrafts now which I gather is technically enough but far from ideal.

Having jumping mushrooms and Nuoch wallows is quite useful for traversing HoT without wanting to kill yourself, and you will need the first exalted mastery to finish the story (maybe the second as well?) as well as the one that lets you talk to Itzel. Given how the XP progression works, I'd get the first two masteries in all of the HoT trees before going deeper into gliding. The new zone is totally fine with just mushrooms and updrafts. I'm not sure how you would run out of mastery points before getting to the last few tiers of masteries, so unless you're already out it's probably not worth worrying about yet.

Ah, yeah, I've been a way for a good long while so I think I forgot how far I actually am on masteries. I have bouncing mushrooms and updrafts and I think the first level of exalted, so it sounds like I almost have enough to finish the story, so that's nice.

Also, related to that: Last night my wife and I were in Itzel territory running around their canopy village. My game was playing over my speakers, hers through headphones. I don't have the Itzel language yet, but she does. For me, they're all babbling and making noises that just sound like baby nonsense. For her, they're actually saying stuff to each other in English. I know that's kind of expected given the language is unlockable and all, but that's pretty cool.

Well, perhaps Ranger/Druid will get my 80 boost then. Though I admit I don't actually know much about what Druid does aside from being the best healer around (a thing I generally like).

I was considering Revenant, too, but I think I have even less of a handle on that. I enjoyed screwing around with the Revenant/Herald during the HoT betas and in Heart of the Mists but I haven't really given it a real shot out in the wild yet.

Nope, it's complete RNG, no matter what type the sigils are. Putting in 4 minor sigils of any type can either give you back a random minor sigil or a random major sigil. Putting in 4 major sigils can either give you back a random major sigil or a random superior sigil.

Do the meta events if you're taking about the heart of maguuma masteries. If you can get to dragon stand, pop an xp booster and have at it. DS is good for xp and carpal tunnel.

Druid is very good. Fantastic team support, it's not even the healing that makes them great but the fact that between glyph of empowerment, frost spirit, and grace of the land they can stack up to 25% extra damage on a group of people with a high chance of 35% damage. They also heal a ton without any investment in healing power, so their own damage is solid too.

Edit: you also provide spotter, which is always desirable.

A druid shouty build in PvP is incredibly brutal too. I've been massacring people with it and I am terrible at PvP. You're stupidly resilient and your pets are homing death missiles.

I just did the story step last night to let me gather those unbound magic orbs, and even they give XP. It's awesome! I love the new zone now that I have leyline and advanced gliding. It's a frustrating chore without it 100%, having been through it both ways now.

The Jade Armors meta gives something like 300 - 400k exp and takes 20 minutes (or less)... that's without boosters. It is most definitely the fastest way to get exp, and you also get Blood Rubies and a shitload of rares.

Is getting ascended armor still hilariously expensive?

I'd kind of like to try raiding at some point since it seems like it's actually pretty fun but I've only got one ascended weapon and the ascended accessories, so it'll be a bit before I'll be up to snuff on the gear.

Ascended gear is still kind of expensive, but you can get a decent chance at drops by doing fractals. Also, if you've got weapon and accessories ascended you're all set for raids, it's not like there are DPS checks where you absolutely need ascended armor, it's just a nice little boost.
