Sidenote: at the rate I am leveling, I am nearing 1 hr/level. Because I literally am taking my time and enjoying it.

Add in I want to try other classes, the dungeons, the pvp, see stuff to grind at 80. Def made a good choice for myself with this game. Plus I was tired of relying on 9/24/39 other people to not be horrible at a game to enjoy.

Yeah I couldn't agree more with the bold stuff. The leveling is really cool and still let you spec the way you want it without being called a jerk for not putting 5 points in that skill or putting more that 1 in the other.

And worst part is unlike vanilla, if 1 person failed in a raid battle 9/10 you would whipe. Or waiting for that Last tank to log on as you try and pug one that may or may not be good. (Not specifically just for WoW, this is a similar issue I have seen in Rift and Swtor)

P.S. Honestly how many dye colors can their be? I mean there can be only so many greens before you have to call it a yellow or blue...

Should I be worried about the password reset emails?

 

[zinfamous]

Hmm i think its Ashenor.9841 from memory, character name is Kalisia Teveril.

OK, you are added. Don't be surprised if you can't accept tonight. Try to accept when on main server. ....and be patient.

I was able to add 2/3 people this morning, eithout changing zones or anything. So weird, as if it's now on a timer of when it works and doesn't.

 

[zinfamous]

doubtful. just key loggers most likely?

Just as I've never been worried about emails to reset my WoW account (never had one) and ToR account, sent by dickhardly@blizzard.com

 

[Ashenor]

No there is a article on Massively about it, just phishing attempts just ignore and delete for now.

Same, i have just used what has worked for me so far, but it want to do soem reading up on stuff.

I have been stacking precision and crit, so i am extra squishy but seem to be doing good dmg.

i'm not sure if we're supposed to be weapon switching often or what. i don't use that steal skill often because as a dual pistol wielder, why would i want to be pulled for "in your face" combat? but then i remember reading how amazing that skill is and how everyone uses it...


so confusing lol

Ya i always forget to use steal because i use duel pistols mostly, someone else said that bow with Caltrops is good, i tried using duel pistols with that and the trap that spawns a thief to attack also, its pretty good. I think the bow has some AoE though.

Sword/Dagger does seem to do good dmg though.

guys, ignore ANet forums. Guru has long been the place to go.

Example:

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/51691-guide-to-choosing-your-crafting-disciplines/

for choosing crafting disciplines. There is also a great thread about getting cook all the way to 400 with little effort, tailoring spreadsheets, etc. Dies, can we get this crafting link in the OP? very useful for people starting out.

It mentions something that i was unaware of--it says that maxing two crafting professions will grant 20 free levels to an alt (alts?)? ...Is that true, and how does it work? It simply says it is a big pro for dividing crafting among all your alts, and says this bonus could have course make it too easy for your alts in the starter zone (which suggests 20 free character levels?)....but surely they mean 20 free crafting levels?

Ah nice ya that was the cooking thing my 80 friend was telling me about. He had a friend do it from like 56 to 65 with little effort or cost. He did it to go from 79 to 80 and only had to get to like 77 cooking skill for the lvl.

I switch elements all the time (elementalists have 4 elements instead of weapon switching). Some good combinations can be had from switching; I run around with Air for a 45% runspeed buff (signet, talents), and the third skill is knockback, so when I get into a fight I throw a few air spells til the mob is near me, knock them back, switch to fire and down them.

I wouldn't worry about any 'builds' yet, since each time you buy a trait book (11,40,?), you get all your trait points refunded. I had saved 5 points at 35, wanting to spend them in fire/air immediately after hitting 40, but I got all my points back and maxed fire right away (to lvl 40 levels).

Edit; think this is GW2 guru also (same icon); a Thotbot/Wowhead thing. http://www.gw2db.com/

If it is 20 free levels it would almost be like. Buy 4 get a 5th free!!!

I currently use a scepter / Dagger combo. And focus on Earth. (talented currently 6fire, 6 earth)

I switch to air and use signents for run speeds, otherwise I only switch to that in long battles after switching out of earth for healing in water or some aoe in fire.

<--- took our guild to our first dungeon last night.

lolol... the guys were pot heads... but it seemed like everyone mostly knew what to due..
Got a couple nice items.. i know 2 guys in that run got yellows from me.

The highest lvl currectly is held by kain.
He's 60 from last night, followed by me, which is 49-50.

I would love to do more dungeon runs, we just need people filling in the spots.
I will probably make a dungeon run schedule for people who would like to go.

dungeons are available at 30-40-50-60 i believe.


Oh we could use more Gaurdians incase u guys are wondering what to roll.
We have like 2 gaurdians total, and i think 1 isnt very active.

The warriors tho are the fastest lvling class period.
Im sure EVERYONE in our guild can vouch for this comment seeing how fast of burst lvls kain and i are accomplishing.

I'm one of two Guardians and I'm actually playing my Engineer right now. I'll probably pull him (Guardian) out of repping.

I liked guardian on BW3. I just dont know if it was my playstyle though.

Always Be Weapon Switching.

Bind it to something accessible if that helps - mine is on Mouse 4. I play a thief too and am using SP/DD and it's fantastic.
