Returning to GW2, so lost...

Hi All,

I'm a newbie to Gaiscioch and I'm dusting off my GW2 account to meet up with everyone. I found Gaiscioch while looking for a gaming community for ESO, but I've been itching to give GW2 another shot so this is the perfect opportunity.

My home world is Blackgate at the minute but I'll move to Sanctum of Rall soon. Since the transfer cost is based on population I want to see if it drops during a slower time of day. As far as characters, I have a level 80 Guardian and a level 21 Elementalist, plus four others level 13 or lower.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good guides for returning players? I think the last time I played was about the time of the Kharka event and I'm really lost...

 

Thanks,

Riannoc

Welcome back! Alot has changed since you have been gone. I am not sure what your play style is but there are many new videos on youtube with good builds. You want stuff maily from dec 10 that was a balancing patch sorta but some mechanics changed and there were probably some changes here feb 4th with the content patch. I hope that atleast gets you going.

Thanks! Well, looks like it's what I feared - population isn't a currently online figure, it's a server total figure, so no change in price. Guess I'll be buying gems. ;-)

As far as playstyle, I've never played a "no trinity" MMO so I'm used to playing a tank or sometimes a healer. My main is a Guardian, which I think I was planning to play with a healing angle using shield/mace in groups. I don't know if that's worth pursuing, though, or if more of a damage build is preferred for zerging through quickly. I've been using a greatsword for leveling/damage.

Edit: Gems bought, transfer request in...

Ooh! Another healing guardian! Hello! :D I'm Kitty, the resident cat-lady :3

I run a staff command build, much healings, very cleansy, yes, yes, much support.

Staff command build... (opens a new tab and demands an explanation from Google)

I'll check that out Kitty - thanks! So far I've only used a staff on my Elementalist, but I think I see where it would work for Guardian as well.

If you have some time and are bored in game one night I'd like to get some input. I wouldn't be surprised to find out I'm geared all wrong since things have changed. So much to learn and re-learn, and probably to unlearn as well! Bad habits from leveling, like the fact that I really only used a 2h sword or a mace/shield combo. I never did much beyond soloing so I need to get the hang of grouping one of these days.

Mornings? Okay, let me clear that with my boss... ;-) 

I'll be around weekend mornings, though I'm on the east coast so that may actually be afternoon here.

Well, looking forward to catching up with you eventually!
