Picked up the Berserker temple armor. Will be working on saving gold for my rings/trinkets.Looking at switching out the Retribution line as you advised. Already have that, do you mean I should drop that and pick another line? Confused on that part. Thanks

Renegade.Renegade has very strong sustain and is self sufficient, perfect for Open world and PvE. Thank you.. Just selected Renegade

Spent my points to train Renegade and was given the Exotic bow. Celestial, Grieving, Viper are the choices for traits.I am guessing Viper would be a good choice option? Though Celestial looks good too with the stats. Ran my character to Orr last night. Have 700K worth of Karma saved.., so am thinking about getting the Berserker Temple Gear.Ha... was much easier getting there on Raptor than the last time I hoofed it with my own feet 7 years ago.Would there me another Karma set you would advise over this?Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks.. made the build changes you advised. Will save my laurels.Which would you advise for my play style, Renegade or Herald?Is bow a viable option over hammer.. or situational specific?

Hi All. I am a returning player. Played GW1 and first year of GW2, and finished the game with 3 level 80s, so I have an understanding of game dynamics and storyline. I bought Thorns/Fire expansion combo last week. I chose a new Rev for the open character slot and popped the level 80 boost. Was pleasantly surprised to see him decked out in all level 80 exotic gear post boost. I am a casual player who focuses on mostly solo play, storyline, and open world PvE roaming. I usually like well rounded tanky builds. I like a combination of survivability of standing when multiple mobs unexpectedly add into a fight. I am a middle of the road player, who is not focused on getting every combination to hit correct every time... so builds that are forgiving I appreciate. The boosted build seems exactly that....along with his soldier gear he is quite tanky. Below has the build/armor/jewelry post boost. Last night while desert roaming and getting sand in my armor two vet fire hydras attacked me same time with a couple of sharks. Took a little while to take them down, but my health was never really in danger.. and the boost build healed passively while fighting. I am still learning what does what with skills and weapons... so was happy to be standing in the end.The 80 boost build/gear is as follows:Retribution 2 3 3Invocation 2 2 1Devastation 2 3 3GEAR: All soldiers armor and jewelry/back with Revenant Sigil on all and berylWEAPONS: Duel sword with Sw1 Force - Sw2 Accuracy ---- Hammer Force + Accuracy I guess my question is if there are better build/gear combos that fits with my play style mentioned above?if so, what do you advise? Should I keep the Rev sigils or replace, and if so.. with what? Should I change to mace/axe mace/sword or other set ups?Keep the tanky soldier gear..... but change build?Take Herald or Renegade first?Use bow instead of hammer?I have 270 laurels. What gear should i select with them?Anything else that I am blindly un aware of? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and assistance!(((Yeah... I know, lots of questions.. but I like this character and appreciate your thoughts and help.)))
