Meet my norn guardian

She's using two sets at the moment. The first one is a combination of Norn tier 1 coat, gloves, shoulders, boots and the dredge legguards from the dungeon vendor. The dyes are white and midnight fire.

I really liked your first set! I always disregarded T1 cultural for my Norn because I dislike the leggings, but your combination looks very natural and imo much better than the original. It might give me some motivation to get that set after all. :)

If you find Strife's set up a little hard to get used to, you can mix in some Knight's pieces of armor to help as you work out how you play that kind of setup. A 50/50 spilt should be fine...i would use Shoulders/Gloves/Boots as Knight's, and all other pieces Zerker. I believe Strife details that in the main Thread, so read through it well.

This is a sound advice, but I would just like to point out that you got the armor pieces wrong - if you want to mix knight's and zerker, you should have shoulders/gloves/boots as zerker and leggings/helm/chest as knight's.

If I where to learn how to utilize my profession to the fullest and then still be beaten by the average good Warrior or Guardian then what's the point? Where's the fun in that?

Since we are talking PvE, how will you be "beaten" by the Warrior? Because he finished the content 5 minutes earlier? Does this bother you so much to the point that it makes your game less fun?

You have to decide what is "fun" for you. If fun is being as effective as possible and clearing stuff very efficiently, then you'll min/max and be picky about equipment, build and profession. There's nothing wrong with that... you just have to admit that's what you enjoy and accept the restrictions that might bring upon you. If fun is something else, you'll play whatever you want and won't care about the "trinity".

I think people exaggerate on the "trinity is destroying GW2" effect from reading the fora and thinking that's how everyone plays.

I run Fractals and dungeons a lot with my guild and PUGs alike. In guild groups, there's absolutely no class discrimination, ever. I hardly ever see it in PUGs either - most groups just make a post at gw2lfg and grab whoever volunteers, except in high lvl FotM, when most groups want at least 1 guardian, but won't really impose restrictions on the other 4.

The only place you actually find a very specific group requirement is CoF p1 zerker farm. One out of dozens of dungeons. And guess what? If you post "LFM CoF p1 farm, any class welcome" in gw2lfg, your party will fill up almost instantly and you'll be ready to go in the blink of an eye - you definitely don't need a warrior or a mesmer to farm CoF. Does a competent 4W1M group run it faster? Yes. Is it the only way, excluding other professions from the farm? No.

My Guild has lots of members but they do not care about the players at low levels.
I'm on line every day and I can see groups doing dungeons/fractals and other things but never invite low levels, because we are a nuisance and we know very little....but we need somebody to tell/guide us.
The problems are that they all are level 80 already and not with one toon but with most of their alts.
Why am I not leaving then? Because this was my old GW1 Guild and I had fun with them ....so sad tho I'm thinking to leave GW2 for good it's a lonely game at low levels!


If sticking to your old GW1 guild is causing you distress and might make you quit GW2 entirely, I see no reason for staying with them. You *had* fun with them, but you're not having anymore. People move on, friendships and interests change...

If you really, really like them, I would have a sincere discussion about it and see if they are willing to change their routine to help you. If things don't change, I wouldn't say it's their fault or the guild's fault - you clearly need a guild that caters to new players and that's not happening... that might not interest them, and that's ok. It's just a matter of finding the right guild for you. My guild is very friendly to new players, and while we mostly do dungeons and fractals as well, most veterans will go out of their way to help and teach low level content to new players - I'm pretty sure there are quite a few similar guilds in every server, so you should be able to find one at yours.
