After going to like 10 websites for skill tree calculators, I finally found one that was up to date (for Mesmer, at least).

Here's my Mesmer build

Where would I go to to get exotic weapons to drop?
I checked the WvW forum out and read about those earlier. It gave me quite a laugh hahaha

The best is when the npcs screw you by pulling mobs or using fear effect drawing all new aggros.

This game is fucking addictive...
It was 2:00 AM and I had about 6 hours of sleep left till my next class. Decided to at least take down the giant first. As soon as he fell down I lost track of time and continued to grind until my internet died for no reason. Saw that it was 5:30 and went to bed.

Anyone tried using dual pistols with the Thief? Damage seems to be a bit lacking.
How does it work?
I know the blind field is pretty neat, but I mean other than that.

It is pretty lacking. What it does have for it is the range, and the dual skill hits a shit ton of times. So if you can synergize with stuff that benefits from lots of hits (like the heal on hit heal skill) you might find something that works.
Yea, I really think they should have included a wide variety of gameplay options in the personal story. It would have made it feel like a true change of pace. I think they dropped the ball a bit by just relying on combat combat and more combat.
I hope our server isnt complaining

Yeah, this is pretty much how I've been using it; when health gets low or I get KO's but rally I'll switch over to guns and use the rapid shot to regen health quickly while keeping away.
Unfortunately I think a lot of what could make it good is hampered by all the cooldowns on the "on hit" stuff. Something like Sigil of Superior strength (which doesn't have a cd) on one pistol and Sigil of Supeior Frality (which has no cd) on the other + lots of crit might make it nice.
It's JQ and ET that are doing all the complaining

My brother and I both have seen exotic (lvl 78) weapons drop during COF runs, once for him and once for me.

Know what would be awesome? If we could use the Trading Post via browser. I'm reading the thread now and by the time I get home I forget the stuff people have mentioned to buy. I occasionally remember to use a note taking software or email to myself but I always forget.

As long time Guild Wars 1 player I find it hard not to compare it to this game (Gw1 is not Gw2) where in GW you could build your own "deck". In Gw2 they give you a starter deck (predetermined 5 skills) and some boosters (utility). Miss the range of options, the diversity of skills, the amount of choices but they went a different route.
So maybe in the future I can setup the 5 weapon skills, there are fun skills I like to have in my bar and skills I'm stuck with. Skills that fit and skills that don't.
Would really like if the auto attack (Default key: 1) was removed from the skill bar. I like that the auto attack is not a generic swing weapon, it actually has other abilities besides raw damage but don't like that it takes a slot. They could add a key for auto-attack and the description of the ability in the menu or skill bar.
Doesn't payoff.

The more I play this (level 24) the more I truly appreciate the world in this game, its really something.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
That's disappointing to hear. I wanted to start an elementalist alt because I wanted to play a light class instead of a heavy one again. Guess I'll start up a Mesmer alt.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Note: I like the weapon system tied to skills but...
Who thinks ANet will add more skills tied to weapons and expand utility and elite skills? I love that there's only 10 skills to use, but, as was said, a "deck" of skills to choose from would be pretty cool. As long as they are balanced (and even then ANet could just lock the original skills as the only options for sPVP).

Everyone is useful.
Oh god, that freakin SE second golem. I was running a condition pistol build on my engineer at the time
duno, Im tearing through sPvP, Dungeons, Mobs and my personal Story with the d/d - cantrip and boon build.

We'll just have to make OT2 happen before a month's time since release/pre-release!
Nobody? Tried searching and can't seem to find an answer..

You eventually will. As soon as guesting is enabled, you or your friend can guest onto one another's servers and play through PvE content together. Note: guesting cannot be used for WvW or sPvP.

Almost got to level 10 in spvp before it went down.
PvP as a mesmer seems fun, but I can't seem to get any burst going. I know mesmers aren't made to burst but I seem somewhat lacking in fights where I don't have my ult.
For reference, my main pvp character up til now has been warrior. I suppose it is tough to match that burst.

So I started to look into legendary weapon crafting now that I hit 80.
..
Wow. Can't decide if it's insanely motivating to play on or if it's annoying as hell. But so far it's a great motivation Started with "Project 100% map completion" first, since it seems to be the easiest of what I have to do (oh god) and picking up every item, event and enemy on the way, already found places I've never been before in the freaking Charr starter areas.
If only I wasn't so easily distractable and keep running off to interesting looking places.

Looks Awesome.
I really like the look of craftable lvl80 exotic-light gear.
(its very detailed, jet you still look like a humen and youre not! half naked)
The shoulder-part is boring tho and the headpiece is not visible with the hairstyle I chose so Im still wearing the Masterwork pieces untill I have enough tokens/karma for something nicer.
I think I'm going to switch my elementalist build (currently glass cannon 30/10/30 fire, water, arcane) to that d/d boon build. Does it work okay with different traits and a staff in wvw zergs?
I love the profession but I just feel that something is missing from it; other classes just seem to be able to do just as much without being held back attunements and general squishyness.
I'm beginning to suffer from alt-itis. I want a thief but they're everywhere already. Engineer versatility is great, but they have no weapon or kit aesthetics to speak of. Etc, etc.

Rolling alts doesn't hurt anyone. Copper sells for a good amount.
Getting a bit annoyed at my Engineer's dps and my playstyle with him. I have been going dual pistols but I recently picked up a rifle that was a good dps increase so I switched to that, but I really, really dislike the rifle's control-focused skills so I'm thinking of swapping back to pistols. With my current playstyle (pistols + elixirs) I feel like I'm only using my 5 skills and just using elixirs whenever they're up, but it still feels like the most efficient way of levelling, compared to turrets or grenades.
Is there a better way of going about things? Or is Engineer maybe just not for me?

wut. Aren't Mystic Weapons cheap on TP?
I thought about grabbing a Mystic GS but I saw a bunch of people with one so I decided to transmute my Ebonblade into the Breath of Flame and Peril instead.

"Another Mystic Forge Greatsword:"
Has the same model as Dusk, the base weapon for Twilight.

works very well from my experince.
Im running 10/10/10/30 and for zerks I swap the last arcane trait that normaly causes a attunement specific spell on dodge to cause larger staff aoe.
You will of course do a little less damage than with a 30fire build, not that it actually matters in a zerk.
That said daggers arent useless in WvW.
In sieges I like to load up crunching earth on top of the wall, use teleport to get right into all the foes waiting down below just before it hits , unleashing it unto them all, then use my evade (to cause one more crunching earth) and knockbacks and finally use cleansing fire (to get rid of some conditions that will probably hit as soon as you step outside) + mist form to get out of there almost unharmed.
In battles with less than ~10-20 people I would not bother switching to staff, get in there cause havoc, get out.
