introduction
Hi everyone, I'm a new GW2 player and I wanted to share my first impact experience with you so I can ask you for help too.
I come from other MMORPGs (there is no need to name some even with the license fee) until an offer of a bundle led me to take GW2 with all the expansions. I hope to give you a good read and that you can get into my very messed up head.
The first time is performance anxiety
I start the game after obviously watching a thousand guides and a thousand videos and I find myself choosing the character, I have always been a tank so seeing the Guardian my choice falls on him with his shield and his club I head to the top of 80, I struggle a lot to get carried away but I get there .. and here I realize that everything I had done from the beginning was just a super tutorial (go around the map to complete any task and make the map 100% this I did up to at 80) I start to get carried away with all the features of the game and arrived at the end game obviously I have to think about a build .. and here comes the problems.
Many games I have done there is not much to think about the build the classes are those the statistics too, what you need is a good rotation, knowing the mechanics or at most good reflexes but not here ... here the build matters a lot, not I am able to make one on my own I am still too puppy to do it, I look for it on the internet (I think to myself) never was the choice more wrong. Obviously I write Guardian Tank Build on the internet thinking that the profession I chose was what I wanted and here I get to know things that I did not understand, namely:
The professions do not have a basic DPS HEALER and TANK setting but everyone can do everything (?) About.
I find myself various Guardian guides who use the bow, others with the stirrup others who use traps (?) But I ... but I just wanted a sword and shield and defend my allies .. did I have the wrong class? I can't understand .. I was about to give up and go back to playing my old game but then I said to myself "Hey but if you can't do it like when you were a child, a brute force warrior and have fun without too many mechanics"
Yes! There is!
I prepare my warrior I repeat the maps at 100% some main mission and here we are at 80 we have my warrior of pure power I use two axes and a broadsword, what can go wrong? It seems to me to be a real power! Now I can try the fractals or some Raid, why not? Long last!
Ok! There are! My first Fractal warns everyone that I'm new so if I stumble into the mechanics maybe they will understand me.
Of course ... the mechanics nobody cared about the mechanics but everyone was thinking only of my warrior who had a build made at random and did not follow the goals, I did not have the buil condi (which I don't know what it is) I was not support with banners as they wanted or I didn't have the damage that was right for what they wanted.
What a bad experience, I got very embarrassed and felt useless so the warrior is not good for the PVE? Am I wrong yet?
I come across a site that shows various builds and I realized that for better or worse all builds are the same ... I thought there was more freedom in this game and instead or so or so.
So before I give up I want to get to you and hear from you that you have been playing for years and years and have seen the game grow to help me find my path.
A melee class dps / tank at this point the revenant? I don't know what if I'm still wrong?
I am not interested in the opinion of others and play with the style I want? What if I don't find friends why am I not useful?
Do I play alone around the map? Well, a mmorpg is not for being alone ... that's why I already have my life ...
If you have arrived here I thank you for having participated in my drafting of my thoughts and anxieties ... I would like to hear your opinion, to know your experience, your way of playing and to receive advice from you.
Thanks.
