I wanted to make a character named Florida Man, but alas it was taken.....

I don't usually weigh in on these topics, but I figured I would.

I mainly play PvE, but when I saw the GOB was needed for a legendary, I knew I have to get into WvW. I started by doing the tasks listed before. My build was not very good even by PvE standards, but I kept at it. Before long, I joined a zerg and then went around taking camps and towers. Before long I had completed the track. Having boosters did help.

The problem... I started to enjoy it! I got killed a lot by the enemy. Curse those on Crystal Desert and Northern Shiverpeaks. Not I am working towards creating a WvW character, a Scourge. And even joined a WvW guild on Darkhaven. I have blast and meet some nice people who are more than willing to help out those newbs who have been playing the game since release.

As a Darkhaven since release. Join us. I have started WvW and all the players have been helpful.

For a Bestiary, I would look at the Monster Manual and Reskin what they already have. Take the concept of the GW2 monster and find the already create stats and abilities on a monster and change its name. Poof new monster.

I have reskinned many creatures to use in my home campaign myself.

Welcome to the world of Table Top, it is fun and you can complete almost anything you can imagine.

Trying to recreate a for game into an RPG is a daunting task. If this is you and your friends first adventure into Table Top RPGs, might I suggest you not try to create a one to one conversion. Since you are going with D&D, just keep those classes the same and start by using the world of Tyria as your setting. If you try to convert every class into a perfect match, you are going to find it really difficult.

So I would keep the classes as they are in D&D (Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Thief, Warlock, Sorceror, Bard). Use the already given races to reskin as Tyria:

Human = Human

Asura = Gnome or Halfling

Charr = Dragonborn (Minus breath weapon)

Sylvari = Elf

Norn = Really tall Humans

Keep it Simple until you master the mechanics

I find it is way easier to tinker with accessories than armor, mainly because you don't have to worry about salvaging the rune. Don't worry about ascended gear - you'll be just fine with Exotic gear, including weapons and accessories.

I am taking your advice on just using trinkets and maybe runes to help with survival. Like someone said before "Dead men do no damage"

I am currently running the Triumphant Reward track to unlock armor for creating the legendary version of the heavy armor for my warrior main.

Thanks for all the advice. Played a little during the Warbeast unlock and enjoyed it. I would sometimes go in to complete dailies and help get the Gift of Battle.

What I found interesting was I teamed up with the Guild for some runs and before I knew it, 2 hours had past. Time flew while playing. Just time to get better.

Now I just need to work on getting those Soldier Insignia since they are not craftable.

> if you're dying often then you shouldn't worry about your damage output too much. stack toughness and slowly take out the knights for zerk, one piece at a time over a week or a month or however long it takes. if you can afford marauder, try both that and knights and see what you can get away with. for marauder i would switch out as much zerk pieces as possible. watch youtube videos as they are helpful to learn about positioning and certain threats. there is a ton of stuff going on but the best can keep track of it all and act/ react accordingly. it'll take time but keep at it. oh and if you can't afford scholar runes go with pack.

I like your idea of starting out in Knight armor and slowing switching to zerker as I get better. I think I have enough materials for 1 piece of Marauder armor.

I am starting to dip my toes into WvW. I joined a quild (Thanks [NEW] for letting me join with you) as they are a Darkhaven guild. I was playing with my Necro that I am working towards getting used to and enjoyed. However when I check metabattle, the builds are very glassy. I was thinking of adding some toughness and vitality to increase survival.

I want to get others opinions on what armor, trinkets, runes and sigils to work towards.

When I play, I mainly use the mouse for 6-0 and F1-F5 skills. So any other help would be great

Thanks in Advance

I agree with Just a Flesh Wound. but also add that if there is a zone adjacent to you that is incomplete, then the compass will point towards that one. So you might try by going to a zone with many adjacent zones you can reach from there.
