Well there is a popular glass cannon builds with heartseeker for pvp, probably the only build they know.
Most of them you can, there are some recipes you can only get from karma guys.
I checked right after I posted it, sorry...
A couple of Guardian questions:
1) What do people think of a sword/torch weapon combo? I like the idea of a lot of fire.
2) What's considered the most viable PvP build? How about PvE?
Mobs clip. Line them up with circle-strafe and I pop my burst. High crit+bleed build and... well that's pretty much it. I also disable Melee Attack Assist to clip through enemies instead of blowing dodges or circling around them. 99% of every mob I encountered attacks where they are facing save for very few AOE attacks.
When I'm feeling frisky I just run figure 8s through them but that's overkill IMO.
Veterans are a bit harder since they tend to AOE a bit more - but wind-ups are generally longer and don't require a doge - I just run through and behind far enough out of range.
Funny... I learned a lot on my WoW mage during vanilla circle-strafe farming 30 mobs - translates far better in this game ha!

It works just fine. It makes the end game dungeons intense as fuck as the margin of error is very tiny. I dont get why people think running around with no weight behind attacks like chickens with their heads cutoff = good.
You can't get a fight like argon queen levels of challenge and skill in any other mmo right now.

I agree. TERA proved that it works in a MMO setting.
I am confused when people say Guild Wars 2 is like an action game because you can move regardless of what you're actually doing. I don't think I've ever played an action game where you didn't commit to your attacks/actions.
I'm not a very efficient leveler, I must admit.
I only got to level 20 in Tera. None of that was expressed in the content I got through. If the actual depth of the combat system can only be found in certain boss fights, then I would file that under "didn't quite work."

I had heard that.

Spotted some GAF AC action going on:

I would honestly say probably even a bit further than that sadly. The game shines in it's dungeons and BAM fights. Everything else feels a bit dull overall as how easy it was because of said battle system

yep. dungeon and bams are awesome. outside of that is a chore to play. they should have made the whole game just a bunch of instanced dungeons.

Pretty new to MMOs, this is sorta the first one Im committed to playing, newb question, how do guys go about fighting, just click on the enemy or do you use the keyboard number keys, just wondering.

walk into all the enemies in red.
Agreed, and that's all I was trying to say on the previous page. I never said GW2 is a bad overall game.
Combat is only one part of a MMO. GW2 has other different positives, which is why I'm playing it a lot right now. But combat is not one of them. (Referring to the action part of the combat... the weapon & skill systems in GW2 are great)
I just kill enemies and stuff. Seriously though, definitely use keybinds, strafe with keyboard and turn around with a mouse.
You have different skills depending on your weapon.
1-5 on the keyboard are your skills with your weapon. Just worry about learning those for now. You have to unlock them one by one.
Mumble server closes mid-dungeon.
Bah, i just bothered setting up my mumble and getting it configured.
I never knew they went cross-eyed at this part:
Because the game started when I played it at level 1. I've already shoved 65hrs in to this game and my highest character is level 17. The old idea of "the game starts at 80!" is dead and buried. Thank fuck.
The better question is, why are you not 80 yet?

watched for like 10 seconds, couldn't believe it, stopped cause I didn't want it spoiled.

Hey, can you do dungeons with people from other servers without being in the overflow (as long as you're in the same area?)
I know you can do them with people who are in different overflows (discovered a few days back where someone in a different overflow ran into CM and the pop-up for the dungeon appeared for me.) so wondering if you can do them with people on different servers.
