  GUILD WARS 2 – ARMOR SETS & ITEMS (Made Simple) Quick Note: Hey veterans 👀 — if you spot something wrong or missing, drop a comment and set me straight. Beginners — got questions? That’s what the comments are for. Don’t be shy! Yo folks, I’m back again! ✌️ We live in a time where you can literally find any info you need about Guild Wars 2: YouTube vids, guides, friends yelling at you on Discord… And yet somehow, we still manage to run around clueless. (Yes, guilty as charged 😂). Anyway, enough chit-chat — let’s get into today’s topic. What’s on the menu? If you’re new and wondering: “Which armor set should I go for?” “Do I need Power or Condi?” “What the heck do these colors mean?” “And what about endgame, huh?” I’ve got you covered. Here’s the breakdown, nice and easy. a. Which armor sets are commonly used? For PvE: Power DPS = burst damage. Great if bosses sit still like a training dummy. Condi DPS = damage over time (burn, poison, torment, ...

NA vs EU: Which Server Should You Really Pick?

Hey everyone! How’s it going? Everything good? Life treating you well? 😎 I thought I’d kick off this new post by annoying you with a few questions and just chatting a bit. Lately, I’ve been getting questions from all sorts of players, and even my own friends, so I figured, why not make a post about it? There’s been a lot of chatter about servers in the game—especially WvW—and how things used to be kinda messy. But shoutout to the awesome folks at ArenaNet, they sorted it all out pretty cleanly recently. Big thanks to them! ❤️ Alright, so yeah, all servers are gone now, but I’ll dive into that more when I start covering WvW content. You’ll notice a “Region Selection” thing on the login screen, that’s where you pick your server. A lot of questions I got were like: “NA or EU—which one’s better?” So let’s break it down together. I’ll also add my personal take based on what I’ve seen and the conversations I’ve had, and I’m sure you’ll agree with some of it. I’m splittin...

“Which Guild Wars 2 Expansion Should I Buy? (2025 Guide)”

Which Guild Wars 2 Expansion Should I Buy? (2025 Guide) WHICH EXPANSION SHOULD I BUY? Yes friends, usually when we first start Guild Wars 2, we begin with the free version. We try the game out, and if we enjoy it—or when we get frustrated with the limited features of a free account—we start thinking about buying a DLC expansion. Of course, players with sufficient financial means can instantly buy all the expansions at once, paying around $100 (or whatever it costs) with a credit card. But what if you don’t want to spend that much money? What if a few months later you regret it and ask yourself, "Why did I buy all the expansions at once?" Or maybe your budget only allows you to buy one or two expansions. In that case, you'll naturally wonder: Which expansion should I buy first? First, you can buy all expansions directly from the official Guild Wars 2 website. That part is clear. However, if you decide not to buy ...

Why Should You Play Guild Wars 2 in 2025?

  Artwork courtesy of ArenaNet / gw2.com Introduction Even though Guild Wars 2 first launched back in 2012, it’s still going strong in 2025, standing out as one of the most beloved MMORPGs out there. While many games come and go, GW2 has managed to carve out a unique place for itself thanks to its dynamic gameplay, living world updates, and rich lore. Whether you’re a veteran MMO player or someone looking to dive into the genre for the first time, here’s why Guild Wars 2 deserves your attention this year. 1. No Monthly Subscription — Play on Your Terms One of the biggest barriers for many MMORPGs is the monthly subscription fee. Guild Wars 2 breaks the mold by not requiring any recurring payments. You buy the base game and expansions once, and that’s it — no monthly charges. On top of that, a large portion of the base game is available for free, allowing you to try it out without any financial commitment. This flexible approach makes it ea...

Which Class Should I Play?

  Hello! In our previous page, we discussed why one might still want to play Guild Wars 2 in 2025. Although I don’t want to rehash why you should play it again, imagine a game that welcomes you back as if you never left—even if you haven't logged in for months or even years. After this nice reminder, let’s move on to our next topic: you’ve decided to play the game. So, what’s the next question? Which Class Should I Play? This is the part where we spend a lot of time thinking in the character creation menu that appears every time we start a new game. First of all, I recommend not choosing your character just like you do in other MMORPGs. Why? There are several reasons for this. One of them is that the game currently has 9 different classes , and with the upcoming DLC at the end of October, each will have 4 specializations . For example, if you choose the Necromancer class, you play it as a core Necro until level 80. After reaching level 80, you will be presented with th...
