So guys after thinking about it I decided to make a new character to get (hopefully) back into the game.
I kinda decided on a Mesmer (I do hope I am not making a mistake, because I can't bring my Ele to level 80 for the life of me). My problem is which race to pick :/. Got a Human and Sylvari. Don't want a Norn. So I don't know if I should go Asura or Char.
GAF help!
EotM. Fire Staff. Bigger aoe fields. Drop them meteors.
That's what ended up making me enjoy the class, tho. Ymmv.
Also charr are horrible. Both charr and asura share horrendous footgear, but only charr sport so many crap helms.
Plus being microbe-sized has all sorts of advantages. Being a smaller target, for one.
Might wanna go *very* easy on the zerk/sin gear, then. Go for a mix of knight, cavalier and/or soldier.
55040 GS/Hammer is super easy to play, great damage and has pretty much constant protection/retaliation uptime, btw. Better to start with 35042 tho.
Guardians can just roll with 6/6 Rune of the Flame Legion, tho. Cheap and super effective.

Fixed.
What?
Thanks guys. I'll look into these. My gear already has runes so is there a way to remove them for Flame Legion ones?
As for my PVE experience in this game, I did most of the dungeons and Crucible of Eternity at launch as a Warrior (even found my Warrior logged out at CoE entrance). That reminds me, I think I quit the game out of frustration because the of the dungeon token bug where it'd give you way less than you should have gotten; oh well. I never really bothered to learn my Guardian much at 80 so now I feel like I should give it another shot.

What runes are they? Unless you buy an expensive gem store thing, you'll just overwrite the runes. I mostly said flame legion cause they're the much cheaper alternative for guardians where the "on fire" bonus stacks up well. There are better meta runes (strength, scholar) and some that are exceptionally expensive (melandru) that are worth too much to overwrite.
We're still winning. Woot. With the overnight numbers IoJ and CD had in our borderland, figured we'd be down a few thousand.

It's just sorta an odd thing to announce to everybody unless you're intentionally trying to create drama.
Saying your leaving isn't making Drama, mocking that someone leaving IS creating Drama.
It was not and thank you.
I need some advice. I was out shopping and randomly picked up some of those gem cards since I figured I'd play this game a bit for the next month or so while waiting for the next FFXIV update. Apparently I can exchange it for 220 gold which is a ridiculous amount compared to the exchange rates at launch. If I were to gear up my Guardian with all that gold what should I buy lol. I was going to use the gems for that Zodiac set @_@
I'm thinking Berserkers based on Mrxz and Corio's posts, and maybe buy runes to slot my current Knight set for learning runs?

Do not spend gold on armor. Berserker armor is also terribly overpriced.
Run dungeons or EotM, then buy armor with badges or tokens.
Heck, worst case scenario, just buy the mats to craft the armor and give to a guildie, they'll craft it for you.
You'll probably enjoy EotM more by running a staff guardian spec. This one is pretty good. Try not to use it in dungeons, or pugs will hate you.
What you wanna do is stay at max reach and cleave the other zerg, tagging as much as possible. Also use staff 2 and detonate it into the masses, drop 3 on the zerg's path, use 4 to buff allies before a dive, and 5 to push people outta bridges or stop people from pursuing you. Can use either GS or swordfocus as alternate weapon sets. Heck, can even go swordshield if you like.
Leave your account's name and i'll mail you 6 runes of the flame legion next time im online.
Hm, okay then. I'll just stick to my Knight set and stick Flame Legion runes on them. And thanks for offering; I can just pick some up on my own instead of bothering you.
If I focus on Power/Precision/Toughness I won't be too useless right? Also how important is getting good fishing weapons? There's no dungeons that need those right?

I wasn't even mocking you. No need to be so sensitive. I haven't even played the game in like a month, So I would have no idea why it is you're even leaving. Nor would I care.

Then don't reply to the thread saying your leaving, if you don't know why then don't put fuel on the fire and then become defensive.

Pretty sure I'm going to poke fun at kos whenever I'd like. Thanks.
Yeah, don't buy armor. At least not zerk. The mats used to make it are used for bigger things and it drives the price/demand way up. Just run CoF1 and possibly CoF2 once a day, and trade the tokens in for it.
But as long as you're in level 80s exotics, you won't ever be useless. Just varying levels of dps. Dead players do no damage, so staying alive is the most important bit. zerk armor is way to max out your efficiency once staying alive becomes trivial.

Twilight Arbor has to be the biggest assortment of asshole pugs in the game. I'm not sure what it is about this dungeon in particular, especially latey, but doing it outside of Oceanic timezones is just asking for a headache.
Few armor pieces short of finishing the collection for it, and then I'm done with ever pugging it again.

I buy my Zerk armor via WvW with the hilarious amount of Badges I get from leveling my alts up through Edge of the Mists. There's still a bit of a gold cost but it's about 1/6th of what you'd pay on the TP.
The real money sink is in the good sigils and runes you get with the armor and weapons.

Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask you what the bandage headgear your character had on was?

I missed guild missions, what happened? O:
Wow I forgot how hectic the combat was. I was getting hit by things I didn't even see.
Is there a way to lock the camera on the target?
Oh and who do I contact to get into GAF? LFG is full of groups wanting experienced people.
1) Nope :/
2) Just ask in here. One of the officers should see and send you an invite. If that fails, just send a PM to one of them in game.

I'd hate to see you go, Korten. I too wish you well with whatever choice you make, but even more than that, I wish we could work out whatever issues there are between you and the guild. I don't think anyone should have to feel unwelcome here.
