Aurelio.6159

It's maybe my 6th most played character, but I'd have to agree with the above posters who've picked the Holosmith. For all I know, I might end up liking the Scrapper more once I've unlocked it, but holy frak was leveling my Engineer a chore. Unlocking the Holosmith for the first time was like a lightning bolt out of a clear blue sky - it is so much faster, stronger, and cooler.

I'll admit that I started leveling a Revenant purely because people say that it's unmatched in open world PvE (which is all I play atm), but I'm really loving how the Renegade feels to play. There are a bunch of timers and resources to manage, and making sure that enemies stay at the right spots and keeping buffs up is super engaging. The aesthetic is awesome, too - it's so cool to tear open holes in reality to shoot ghost arrows at people while an angry spirit Charr screams at me to cast down the oppressors. I was worried at how edgy the Revenant seemed to be, but I also enjoy the dialogue with the various legends. It's not like there are a ton of long conversations or anything, but the banter really adds a whole new layer to the character. It's especially fun because I'm playing a Sylvari that gets to talk to Ventari. Everything just... comes together in a fantastic package.

Ah frak, thanks! This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for.

I know that traits are changing soon, so it might not be valid for long, but does anyone have a Open World Dragonhunter longbow build that they like? I just like the aesthetic of a plate armor-wearing archer, and traps are fun and cool, imo. I'm trying to find a space between "it's open world, it doesn't matter" and the general understanding that DH longbow isn't good. So it doesn't have to be super competitive of course, but I'd like a build that can push the longbow to its limit in LS and expansion content. Thanks in advance for any help! Edit: To add, for the moment, I'm using this build from Metabattle with some of the options swapped around: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Dragonhunter_-_Radiant_Dragonhunter Namely, I'm using the longbow instead of the greatsword; Piercing Light with Purification and Test of Faith instead of Sword of Justice because I'd really like to lean into traps; and Healer's Retribution because it just seems easier to use. I'm still new'ish to the game, so I'm basically just throwing stuff at the wall to see if it works. Thanks again for your time!

The typical Sylvari comes with a set of oaths preinstalled, so that's cool.

Ah man, that's disappointing. Well, I just found out that there's a cheap Sylvan Pup mini that I can buy, so I'll just get one and have it follow around my Sylvari Guardian. Thanks for the help!

I'm thinking about starting a Ranger, but entirely because leaf hounds, and I'd like to roll a Sylvari to match. So I wanted to ask, how big is the gap between using the pets you want rather than what's best, especially for Soulbeast? I'm mainly interested in open world, which I understand allows for much more build freedom, but I'd also appreciate any advice in the context of PvP, Fractals, and Raids. I'm still new to this game, so I don't know much about classes that I don't play (and not much about the ones I do, either), so thanks in advance for your help!

I love the Racing Scarf so much!

I think that "Advance!" would be pretty cool.

"Advance!" would be more fitting, imo.
