Braham becomes the Wolf.

#HELL YEAH #THATS MY BOY #LOOKIT HIM GO #gw2 #braham eirsson #lws5 spoilers #i’ve never been so proud #he went wolf for me..#i could cry he loves me #gifs

Thinking about doing that challenge where you get your character to lvl 80 plus 50% map completion minimal.

It includes:

- No mounts (except for nasty WPs)

- No quests that conflict with the chars morals

- Wear appropriate attire to the weather

- Remain nourished all the time

- No gameplay at night (so the char can sleep)

- Only use lvl up tomes in a library or home instance

And I saw this challenge today but can’t find the post again so I’m not sure of the other details besides it being One Life and it’s over.

It just sounds like a tonne of fun so if you know the OG post hmu

#gw2 #gw2 challenge #i played gw2 before mounts so it’d be neat to go back to my roots #just have no reason to rn so this is a good excuse #for me to slow down and enjoy the scenery

Me, watching Braham absolutely snap whilst defending me: haha yeah son *bleeding out and possibly about to die* that’s my boy look at him go

#icebrood sega #braham eirsson #i was so proud #my good boy son has come so far

I drew my soft boy, Muffles Inkclaw. Well, a rough sketch. He is a loveable squish who is somehow with pirates.

big old question for the GW2 community: what do you think is the best GW2 class to start off with if you’ve never played before? i am very curious since opinions seem to differentiate quite a lot.

commanderprotectionsquad

I think either Ranger or Guardian would be good classes to start off with. Maybe just because I started off with those classes, but I feel they are easy to use and have straightforward and effective attacks

Oh yeah the guardian. A lot of the weapon abilities have some form of heal/protection/aegis/retaliation so guardians tend to not die as much. Perfect for noobs who may or may not be getting used to mmo keybinds.

Im pretty sure the professions menu was built with this in mind? My go to ‘newbie friendly classes’ are warrior, ranger, necro (and guardian as my fourth) which i think also happen to be the leftmost classes when you pick. I normally just say “left is easy, middle is middle, and right can be a challenge unless it sounds interesting to you specifically”.

Not that i followed my own advice when i first started with a mesmer lol

charr-tastrophe

Honestly, I never noticed this about the professions menu but it makes a lot of sense regarding survivability and now I feel silly. That said, you made a rad point in the tags that if a profession speaks to you and you think it sounds fun then picking that regardless of difficulty is gonna be way more fun and rewarding than picking one because it’s ‘easy’. That said, I love Mesmer and Elementalist despite my main being a Ranger. They’re fascinating and pretty complicated but I play them anyway and over time I’m learning what works and what doesn’t so it might be a bit of a steeper learning curve but if you’re not opposed to a challenge then definitely just go for it. And hell, if you start off with a more ‘difficult’ class then the worst that can happen is that you decide it’s too complex and choose one that’s a little less intricate (and dear god how do Elementalists do it?? It baffles me I am in awe it’s so much wtf I always press the wrong buttons). TLDR: some classes are easier, some are harder. Find one that sounds like fun and try and make it work. If it doesn’t then that’s okay. There’s always more to choose from.

#this was an excellent point I just wanted to add to i hope that's okay #i am super passionate about people playing the game #but don't want them to struggle #and the reality is that some people will and they just gotta try things #i struggle with the 'hardest' classes all the time #(shaky hand syndrome means I miss my buttons or fat-finger too soon all the time)#anyway #i'm glad I got several opinions here #Guardian or Ranger are not too complex #Mesmer is Hard #don't let anybody tell you what to play though #most importantly have fun

A second notion in favour of Guardian, of which I entirely agree! I think Guardian is pretty perfect in terms of getting new players used to the controls, mechanics and also that healthy dose of survivability.

#really do wanna get into my Guardian more #just too lazy for that lvl 80 grind #not too complicated but still interesting

I started on Ranger too (and he remains my main cuz I love the pet mechanics) and I agree it’s a pretty solid all-rounder, the pet really is super helpful and especially when you get to soulbeast it becomes super fun. I don’t have too much experience with Guardian but what I have tried and tested is that they’re sturdy and not too complicated but still fun, if in a very different way.

#I'd probs agree that those two are the easy to grasp but also that they're hard to master #especially with specialisations #need to put more into my Guardian but yeah my Ranger is (I like to think) annoying af to kill #still have a lot to learn but Ranger has my heart and soul #gonna reblog a few responses to this btw folks

~Swoosh~

#was running around as the guardian charr my nephew made (he was 5 at the time)#and this just.. tickled me so much #swoosh #gw2 #charr #posting it here so i can unexpectedly come across it again and laugh
