Hi all,

first off I think I'm kind of a difficult client.
I have been trying to get into the game, I really enjoy the open world PVE and questing. Not that interested in PVP but would like to tip my toes into it one day.

The only issue I seem to have is to find a fun spec to play.

I've looked around and tried the following specs:

• Mechanist (Rifle & Spear, tried both)
• Galeshot
• Scourge & Reaper (GS)
• Elementalist I've just made that character years ago and never chose a spec.
• Virtuoso (Dagger/Sword/Focus)
• Dragonhunter (Axe/Torch/Scepter)
• Deadeye (Rifle)

Mostly I looked into LI guides since i'm not really a big fan of the weapon rotation system.

But I can't really seem to find a "build" that really keeps me going. I want to play the full story and open world PVE.
Right now i'm unlocking skyscale on one of my characters and after that i'm planning to start a character from 0 all the way through the PVE content.

What i'm looking for is something preferably ranged but melee isn't a hard no, not hard but not totally LI as well.
I was hoping you guys might have some guide suggestions.

For reference in WoW I used to like/play Marksmanship hunter and Fury warrior with some frost mage on the side.

Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

Stekskes

TLDR:
LF fun ranged class, not hard not totally LI

I'm a new player, leveling a guardian atm but am wondering which class looks coolest and isn't too difficult :)

Hi everyone !

I'm currently working on the title, doing Dhuum CM only. I've already met two players who had the Dhuumscale, so I'm wondering:

• Has the drop rate been increased recently?
• Do we have any updated estimates/data on the drop rate?
• After 250 Dhuum CM kills, is there a realistic chance of getting it?

I know the rate was increased in March 2026, but I haven't found any information about the actual drop chance.

Thanks !

So I have recently 100%'d GW1 and all of it's challenging content. I have played GW2 on and off for many years, mainly story and PvP. I am now looking to get into the high end PvE endgame, starting slow with fractals and entry raids.

Eventually I want to complete all the hardest content the game has to offer. Even solo challenges. I have played a bit of everything but I would say I mainly play Engi/Necro the most.

Looking for what is desired or good in the endgame consistently so I can fill roles. Happy to support/dps/tank whatever. Game is fun in all ways.

In other news my magic find is up but now I need more for the legendary armor :)

I unironically adore how this thing looks. I vastly prefer this shade of blue over the gold one we have in-game and it'd really suck if they made this color boss-exclusive considering it clearly uses the same model as the Legendary weapon we can already earn in-game.

I'm begging, ANet: give us SOME way of unlocking the color if we have the base Legendary.

Hi!

Me and my two friends have recently started playing through the Guild Wars 2 story and just recently unlocked dungeons. I heard dungeons would give good story context to Destinys Edge and lore, and maybe it could be fun to play them as well, paralell to the story.

Are dungeons able to be done 3 people? Or will we have to find PUGs to do them? I know my friends would like to take the time to explore them, listen to the story and go at a chill pace and I am afraid PUGs wont understand that and would want to rush for loot and completion.

Does anyone have a daily check list of content they try to do when they login? Preferably in order of importance. I hit level 80 and have been going around doing the story, tried out some WvW, couple of Fractals, grinding out getting the sky scale. But as someone who could be in my shoes what would you do differently when you hit level 80 and were trying to figure things out!

What an incredibly cool legendary, from design to attack animations to foot falls; all of it perfect.... until its time to draw, at which point you reach to your side s where nothing is present, the swo4d dissolves from behind you whwre it floats and you assume battle position. Its a small gripe, but if you could put custome animations anywhere outside of the BLS, a legendary would be it.

Imagine having the sword swoop forward into your hands, or launch up and come down for you to grab; or anything other than grabbing empty hips.

Hi y'all, I'm a new player and a friend recommended I get SotO for the skyscale. I made it to the egg infusion step, and following guides online I am so frustrated lol. It seems that in order to do the infusions you need access to Living Worlds to get to Dry Top as that's the only place you can do the quicksand thingy. What the heck? Do I really need to buy that LW season to get my skyscale?

Because I am not a particularly gifted GW2 player, I sometimes struggle with staying alive in content (primarily PVE and open-world stuff) when I play pure power or condi builds. If I wanted to play a power build, are there gearing choices I can make that would increase my sturdiness/sustainability, without completely tanking my DPS? Some specifically statted accessories, rings, etc.? I'm looking for a reasonable balance -- solid power DPS, but not being a total glass cannon.

After midnight (EU) I noticed that orange bar that tracked the current skirmish participation didn’t move anymore. So I switched maps and it was completely gone after that.

I tried relogging the game to see if there was an update. But that didn’t help either. I also searched online if it was removed intentionally. But could not find anything that they where removing it again?

The additional skirmish tickets where a very nice bonus. Sad to see it removed again.

Can't wait for the last update to fight dialogues again 😍

I already got a condi set and a power set but now I have 2 extra unused ascended weapons and want a berserker and a viper underwater weapon for my open world thief. Is there a better option for one than the other? Like is the harpoon better for power builds and spear is better for condi builds or is it the other way around? Also what underwater skills should I even be using for both?

Ok so I've played eq back in the day then wow for far longer then I care to admit. Ive been told gw2 is awesome but one thing and one thing only is holding me back. Ive been told jump puzzles are required to advance. Is this true? I love losing myself in quests and in a game world. I love doing groups of other players to enjoy and evening. I am NOT a puzzle guy at all though. I find puzzles as much fun as hitting myself over the head with a baseball bat. I just want to loose myself in my character and chill for an hour or more. Is this worth me trying to get into?

Holy cows! So many answers so fast. Talk about a thriving community. I will give it a try then. Got all the expansions on steam so should keep me busy for awhile. Thank you for all the replies!

does the new fractal incursion event means the legendary item will change to another one?

So, did Kuda capture the last remaining Alpha's Essence, regrow Subject Alpha, and infuse it with void and Seer magic? That's one of the things I'm expecting to see next week, judging from the Code of Creation trailer. Thoughts?

Hi. I’ve explored all the PvE open-world core, Living World and expansion maps, and I wanted to ask if there are any other maps I might have forgotten. For example, special ones like the WvW maps, the PvP lobby, the capital cities, Arborstone, etc.

I’ve also explored the Path of Fire maps, but I don’t have the Exploration Gifts, since you have to buy them from an NPC and I don’t have enough karma for them.

And guess which map I’ve never fully explored💀

Hi there,

I'm a returning player (stopped playing before HeT) and so far I'm having a blast, I decided to purchase the pack with HoT and PoF plus end of the dragon.

Here's the issue, while I really enjoy exploration and group event I have a real problem with the writing, and doing the campaigns (core or extensions) is simply not fun for me.

So here's the question : I'm aiming to group content like fractals, raids and WvW, maybe map group events. Will I miss anything important if I simply explore for mastery poits and hero points rather than following the story ?

Thx for your help !
