If you want to get all the lore and so on from the story, finish the original personal story before you start with living world season 1. That said, season 1 isn't fully rereleased yet, so you'll want to watch the recap thing after you finish the missions.

Inzombiac posted:Warrior is pretty bland. Revenant is better and flashier. I loved warrior for years (still the only character I've done map completion with) because I could go anywhere and do anything and still be extremely survivable, but renegade/herald are both so much fun that over the last 2 years it's been by far my most played character, and the only one I've actually completed all the story up to EoD with. I've been running dual swords the entire time, and it just looks so much cooler than warrior with two swords.

Either that or it came from a black lion chest I opened with a free key. That's how I got the hummingbird, from a chest I opened after I opened a chest with a random drop key.

I chose starscale because I love space and moon and star cosmetic stuff, but it was a hard choice. I was so tempted to get that one, it was a hard choice. If they weren't  worth of gems I'd definitely buy a mount select license to get that one too.

I thought the Lyssa one worked really well on a Norn, but I also hide the helmet. I was considering Marjory's too, which I think would work well with the hood though.

Luggage posted:This was the lead dev's statement regarding a "Mechanist too strong" thread on Reddit two days ago: I finally bought EoD, so Mechanist getting nerfed would make me sad, because it's actually really fun to play. I'm not even that good at it, using a mix of rares and exotics, and still getting between 5-9k dps (I installed arcdps because I was curious). My Elementalist is pretty consistently 6k dps in full exotics, which is also on the super low end, but I'm not using any buffs other than the free birthday food. It's a lot more work to play, and while fun, it's kind of disheartening to see how much lower damage it is for so much more work. My super chill warrior build is 3k dps

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Specifically, try to fit in the "fish 4 times in x location" daily, doesn't even have to be a fishing hole, just catch something 4 times, takes a minute, it can regularly reward some ascended fish meat worth 20s each or a ambergris worth 2g. Wait, you don't have to fish in the fishing spots? I've tried to do the fishing daily a couple of times, the first few times the areas had 700 required power (when I have 150), and then the last time I tried it said Heart of Maguuma, and I couldn't find a single fishing hole anywhere in any of the maps. It also sure would be nice to see the required fishing level in game before I try and fish, because the only place I've found so far with a reasonable fishing level is in Shing Jea, which has been anywhere from 0-200 power, but until you start trying to reel them in you don't know what it is.

Catgirl Al Capone posted:there's a lot of easily soloable HPs in the PoF maps once you have the three basic mounts, you'll probably get pretty deep into your elite just picking them up on the side as you do the story EoD also has a bunch of them that don't require fighting anyone, although it requires getting at least one character through the story to get the Arborstone portal scroll to toss in a shared inventory slot. Or just use a Teleport to Friend stone, and go to one of the commanders that is always parked at the Kaineng JP.

Luggage posted:This thread on the GW2 subreddit has a lot of worthwhile ones: That's a really good list, but some of those times feel extremely short, especially for a new player. There is no way you're doing the Ember Bay Token Collector in 1-2 hours for instance, and then there are ones like the Mark Y Golem, where it says 10-30 minutes per day, plus maybe waiting for some events. Sure, the actual fighting part might only be 30 minutes (usually a lot more), but you are going to spend multiple hours per day trying to spawn the events, and getting groups together for the ones that need them (Deadhouse, Serpent's Ire, Zohaqan, etc). It's a really good list like I said, but I would double or triple the time estimates, maybe even quadruple.

big cummers ONLY posted:I'm loving this game but I cannot keep a main for the life of me. Everything is neat and I can't decide on a major. Necro, Mech, and Warrior have all been amazing. It is a good time logging in and doing hearts but I'm hoping I don't burn out from being unable to decide on someone to stick with. If you're enjoying Necro, try Harbinger. It gets rid of your bonus shroud life pool in exchange for a lot of damage, and permanent quickness/fury/25 stacks of might. Plus you get a cool green pistol for unlocking the class.

Bobfly posted:what is the best way to handle the situation with clones dying with the target? Isn't there a trait that causes them to explode in a small aoe when they expire? It's not going to be full damage, but it would help you get something from them at least. Virtuoso I've barely touched, but it's a much more relaxed version of the Mesmer. Instead of clones you have blades, which you keep even out of combat. If you get a chance to unlock it, maybe give it a try?

OhFunny posted:I have a question on Elite Specializations. There are a couple that you want to make sure you can unlock the first two things on, like Virtuoso. I swapped to it as soon as I had it unlocked without any additional points, and I kept my regular clones but lost my F1 skill until I was able to get enough points to unlock the first minor trait. I think Scourge was the same, I lost my shroud but couldn't actually create shades. Basically, make sure you can unlock the first minor trait before you swap, everything after that can come later. It'll be more difficult than unlocking it all at once, but it's still fun to get something new finally and start playing with it.

Inzombiac posted:My dream Ele (aside from the total rework that I want) would be dual Pistol or Rifle. Dual pistols, but instead of normal attunements it's something like the Harbinger shroud where the longer you stay with a given element the more damage you do. Or maybe add in Arcane as a new elemental attunement type instead of a skill type?

Are you going to need to craft the new legendaries? I thought they were going to be achievement based like the amulet, which is the only one I'm the least bit close to finishing because it doesn't require crafting anything.

boho posted:ANet has expressed interest in fixing the fact that the gap between pubbies and Snowcrows is 1000%-2000% effectiveness (DPS). A WoW raid finder group versus cutting edge Mythic raiders is more like 30-40%. Oh, it's much more than that. I pulled out an old character I hadn't played in years, and arcdps had me doing 1200 dps. The benchmark for that class was 36k. I had crappy runes, crappy equipment, the wrong weapons for the build, and a bad build in general. When I join random world boss squads, the top 10 players are usually doing 10-20k, and then it drops rapidly down to sub 1k at the bottom. Some of that will be players not in the right spot to consistently attack, but there are a lot of people that just don't do much damage.

I'm one achievement away from my first legendary, the amulet. It's pretty awesome to be able to finally get one. As a part of getting all those achievements I'm done with all but the Xunlai Ingots part of Aurora, and about 2/3rds of the way through Vision. And then I bought SotO, so now I have a legendary starter kit. So I'm about to be rolling in legendaries, except they all need lots of fractals and WvW that I haven't really touched. I don't have a consistent time I can play every week, but are there any groups that do intro to WvW? I know there are occasionally babby Fractal groups, and worst case I can always spend a ton of gold and buy the matrixes, but the Gift of Battle requires the WvW mastery track.

Mattavist posted:i’m trying this game again after like 10 years. i haven’t played any expansions, but think I want to be a Willbender. Should I skip to that expansion or just start at the first one? If you're manually leveling from 1, you can just start at the beginning. The normal level rewards will give you 398 skill points, which is exactly enough to fully unlock your class at level 80. From random skill points you earn as you explore the core map you can earn at most 200, and you'll need 250 to fully unlock Willbender. You'll need to pick up the extra 50 points from some of the expansion maps, and EoD is probably the easiest. If you own it, you might be able to use a teleport to friend to get to Arborstone (which has 10 hero points inside), and then walk out the gate to Kaineng. There are a couple of easy to access hero points there that won't require spoiling the story, which would be enough to fully unlock Willbender.
