Thanks for the website links.
I'd like to do PvE and WvW...not really big into sPvP and my PvE experience thus far is limited to open world and living world and GS has worked perfectly fine for that but if I do start getting into dungeons and fractals I am concerned that I'm going to run into some flak from other group members for using GS, just based on all the people saying sword/X is better on different forums.
I do really like GS and phantasm though.
I AM wondering if I should go into some sPvP just to try out some builds and different weapons since you can easily change and try out anything you want in there. I didn't use much of any other weapon while leveling besides GS unless it was a little bit of staff or carrying around a focus for the speed boost.
