Im supposed to work
Inspired by @senterya I made a post of the life and times of Mah biggest boi. GET READY FOR A RIDE FULL OF DEPRESSIO AND SELF-DOUBT.
Personal Story: Forging a Legend - Before battling Jormag, Mordremoth or Zhaitan, before joining the Pact and even the Vigil, Bazval was making a name for himself as a skilled, if brutal, warrior and an accomplished smith. So, when the Vigil came calling, he signed right up. When he wasn't cleaving dragon minions in twain, he was outfitting Vigil soldiers in the best armor and weapons gold could buy. He was even starting to dabble in creating magical arms and armor, using Dragonite Ore and Bloodstone Dust. Then, Zhaitan took Claw Island and Trahearne formed The Pact, folding Bazval into its ranks. Bazval helped secure the Pact a foothold in Orr, and helped make parts and guns for their great airships, but he was not present for the fall of Zhaitan, something he regretted deeply at the time. The Mission complete, he fell back into his old life of smithing and hunting Dragon Minions in the Shiverpeaks. That is, until Mordremoth.
Heart of Thorns: Doubt and Rage - Bazval was in the pact fleet when Mordremoth knocked it out of the sky. He was captured, thrown into a blighting pod and would have become Mordrem, if not for the Pact Commander. He rejoined the fight against Mordremoth as soon as he was well enough to, but he always had doubts that he was strong enough, feeling that he was weak for getting captured. Even when Mordremoth was slain, Bazval still felt he had not contributed in any meaningful way. His legend was not growing in the Jungle, but his rage was.
LWS4: Progress and Sacrifice - After the Jungle Dragon was slain, Bazval retreated back to the Shiverpeaks to hunt dragon minions and hone his smithing. He finally managed to successfully forge enchanted armor and weapons, but while testing his new armaments, he ran afoul of a Claw of Jormag, and his left arm was corrupted. With his new Armor, he managed to stop it from spreading, but the touch of that hand became cold.
Path of Fire: Fury and Redemption - Bazval was largely uninvolved in the events in the Crystal Desert, being stationed in the Shiverpeaks. After Kralkatorrik and Aurene absorbed the powers of Balthazar, The Pact, Bazval included, mobilized to take the Dragon down. Bazval led many strike missions against Kralkatorrik's minions, his own dragon corruption sparing him from Kralkatorrik's. In these battles, he loosed all of the rage, self-loathing and doubt he had built up from Maguuma, winning crucial skirmishes against the dragon that would eventually lead to the wyrm's downfall. His legend grew and most people forgot his experiences in Maguuma. Except Bazval. He never forgot and never forgave himself for his "weakness".
Jormag: Whispers and Doubt - Not long after Kralkatorrik, the corruption in his arm started to worsen. Bazval's touch grew even colder, causing his weapons wielded in that hand to freeze over. He also started to hear the whispers of Jormag. "Give in." "You refuse my gifts" "Use them" "You weren't strong enough" "But you can be". The Further the pact and Dragon's Watched push into Jormag's territory, the louder and more insistent the dragon becomes. Skyrrix, his pygmy gryphon pet/companion is the anchor that grounds him from the dragon's words. For Now.
Trahearne: “Commander, I want to show you a picture from last night that really upset me.”
The Commander: “Okay but in my defense, Braham bet me 50 gold to drink all that shampoo.”
Trahearne: “That's not what I wanted to- You drank shampoo?”
Caithe, about destiny’s edge: “I think we’re missing something.”
Rytlock: “Cohesion? Teamwork? A general sense of what the hell is going on?”
Canach: “I’m a wanted man!”
Faolain: “That’s impossible. You weren’t even a wanted child.”

hey i was looking to getting into GW2 (i've been playing a bit but havent gotten very far) & i was wondering if you had any tips on getting started? (also.... when do i start getting cool armor :eyes:)
OH YES HI I hope you've been having fun but probably not because imo gw2 has one of the steepest immediate learning curves in an mmo in that it starts out confusing as fuck and then once you actually understand the game its very intuitive. This is gonna be far from a complete list but its some things that might help!!
1. The 1-5 skills on your character change according to what weapon(s) you have equipped. A lot of new players (especially those that play other mmos) find this weird at first. At level 9 you get the ability to carry 2 sets of weapons and swap between them during combat (unless you're a elementalist or engineer).
2. When youre leveling up dont worry too much about stats, I most just equip gear that I'm given until I hit 80 but here's some stats explained.
Power - the damage output for flat numbers. If the skill says it does x damage, this is what it scales with
Condition damage - this is what things like bleeds and burns scale with. If the skill has a condition that it applies that says "deals x damage over x seconds" its a condition spell
Precision - your critical hit chance. Critical hits deal bonus damage
Ferocity - your critical hit damage
Vitality - your flat health
Toughness - damage reduction. Numerically its the same as having flat health but the higher your toughness, the more monsters will focus you over other people
Theres more but these are the important ones for leveling
3. Explore. Everything. Seriously gw2 is all about exploring just go everywhere look at everything if you love scenery and ambience then this is the game for you just go fuckin nuts and run at things
4. Don't forget to repair your armor if you die. Theres anvils around the world for it usually near vendors and hearts on the minimap
5. When you get to leveling up skills and specializations don't stress too much. You'll get enough points by level 80 to unlock everything (minus elite specs) and you can change out everything when not in combat
6. You unlock more of the personal story every 10 levels. This story is the only part of the gw2 story that can't be repeated on a character. Some of the story also takes place in the dungeons (which are kinda dead unless there's a daily) so if youre confused why the members of Destiny's Edge keep calling you their friend, all of their stuff is in the dungeons.
7. Press i on your keyboard. Now go to the gear on that window and press "deposit all materials". Weep happy tears because you freed up inventory space
8. If you have hearing problems and are frustrated about subtitles, check out the chat box. You can create new chat tabs and decide what goes in each one. Now you can have a tab just for NPC talk and a tab for map chat that you never look at because people say slurs (not really that often if youre out in the world and you can ask for help in it its not THAT bad unless Lion's Arch is busy)
9. The biggest enemy in gw2 is actually the little popup you get once you hit level 80 telling you about mastery points. It shows up every time you gain experience and it will not stop until you choose a mastery to level up. You cannot level up a mastery without going to heart of thorns for the glider or path of fire for the raptor. Dont worry I am already on my way to beat anet to death for this.
Armor - you'll get cool armor as you level up/do achievements that have armor rewards/do pvp tracks (if you like interacting with other people for some reason)/or just straight up buy it from the gemstore if you want. Once a piece of armor is unlocked, any character of that armor class can use the skin for it. BUT transmutation charges (the currency to change your armor skin) are rare at first so be careful cause the skin is attached to the piece of armor you're wearing meaning if you equip something new you have to use another charge to change that piece of armor. Dyes, however, are free to change whenever! Dyes, armor/weapon skins, and transmutations charges are account wide not character bound!
ALSO armor and weapon skins are stored in the bank in a second tab so you can check out armors there (I think its right click to preview) and then check out what armors you think are cool and plan out your characters look. And then weep when the armor was in the gemstore 2 weeks ago and won't be back in for a while cause they cycle the damn store....at least that's how it goes for me aksjsks
Hopefully this helps! Its kinda long and more basic stuff (I find it easier to assume someone knows nothing and work up from there because thats how I would want to be taught) but if you ever have more specific questions feel free to message me again or dm me or anything! And I can always hop on and show you things in game if you want!!
I think the worst writing mood might be "I thought up a bunch of great words and ideas but when I went to write them down I got stressed to the point of feeling physically ill"

Earlier I was on Firebrand in PVP, a double pistol thief started running towards me ready to shoot. As he got close I put up the reflect bubble and basically he became this gif
Traited shield 5 on warrior does this too. Esp. hilarious when a deadeye marks me, pops out of stealth and kills themselves.
