As a person who last played Guild Wars 2 over 10 years ago, I am happy with my Raptor. I'm actually a bit shocked that Mounts actually exist now at all???

when did they remove having to kill a bunch of stuff to unlock all your weapon skills?

I remember it taking forever and a day on warrior, for obvious reasons. Like it wasn't hard it was just boring.

I just unlocked the ability to have two specs at once and my guardian basically just shits out explosions and flames every single attack now?

this rules? absolutely amazing. why on earth did I start this game 10 years ago as a mesmer and not a guardian? no idea.

If you love crapping out flames, give Willbender a shot once you buy End of Dragons and hit level 80. Your F1 turns into a even more powerful and aggressive version that heavily incentivizes attacking as many times as possible for even more burning.

yeah end of dragons is sadly the one expansion i havent pick up over the years but that that playstyle does sound like it owns

i'm assuming I can use dragonhunter and firebrand when I hit 80 as I am, or do I actually have to do expansion stuff to use them?

Speaking of Rev while I do like it so far (i'm only level 25), I will say by its nature this class is the one that suffers the most from not being just boosted to 80 from the off

So I unlocked Holosmith on my Engi and they gave me the lightsaber but I can't actually use any of its skills yet??? Do I need to go farm up 10 more points to unlock the photon forge first? :confused:

Make sure you actually equip the holosmith trait line, that's what enables the sword skills.

Yeah I have Firearms/Explosives/Holo set and I still can't use any of the sword skills, it looks like I do need the second skill unlocked first

Weird way for these Elite specs to work but I also accept most people prolly just had the skill points to unlock half the tree immediately

e: wait. I weapon swapped and now they unlocked. The gently caress???

That happens any time you equip a brand new weapon. Weapon swaps or getting into combat/killing something should also fix it, iirc.

It's a weird little holdover quirk from how they initially designed weapon skills to unlock by killing enemies with that weapon equipped. It got changed to just unlock through leveling a while ago, but there's still a bit of jank under the hood I guess.

Killing didn't work, I killed a few dudes with my offhand pistol and the sword skills stayed locked.

I didn't think about weapon swap because Engi didnt use to have it when I used to play (and come to think of it this might be why it bugged)

Of the elite specs I've messed with so far, I really like Holosmith: it's flashy and strong, and it has mechanics that hit the nice sweetspot between too much and too little to do at once

but of course i'm just open world

https://www.youtube.com/@LordHizen/videos lordhizen's stuff is usually fine enough, tends to sometimes be overkill but usually works out.

keep in mind many of the more powerful open world builds rely on Celestial, which takes a few days (rl time gating) to craft yourself or is very expensive to buy off of the TP. if you don't have access to all that yet, Power Mechanist (engineer) or Power Reaper (necro), both using full berserker's gear are the cheapest and easiest options to get started with.

but what's the true answer if my favorite thing to do is swing a really big sword
