I recently decided to start playing again, after not having played since around September. I see there's been a whole load of new stuff added like fractals, laurels and ascended gear for example.
I have a level 80 guardian, but his gear is pretty bad. What would be the best way to gear up for me? Which stats am I after?
I haven't even tried to find a group yet for fractals or even a story dungeon seeing as I really have no clue where to start. Currently using either a Hammer or Greatsword for exploring and completing zones, but I ran into trouble when I tried to do the 75+ zones. There just aren't enough people around anymore to do events or skill challenges with. Even normal mobs give me a hard time when I accidentally aggro 2 or 3.
Where do I start? I've been looking around on the gw2 wiki and on guildhead and the amount of stuff to do is simply overwhelming.
2) Once you know what build you want just pick up some cheap greens off the TP til you decide on your ultimate gear set.
3) Join a guild.
4) Do world events for rare gear. There's always tons of people at these events and that's where you can meet peeps to join a guild. http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/
