My final reason for enjoying the bundle system is that it’s fun. The circus example above illustrates this point. Another example that I stumbled across was a pair of swimming goggles. I had worked my way up to the top of a mountain in Kessex Hills that overlooked the sea. Laying on the ground at […]
I love the bundle system in Guild Wars 2 for several reasons. The first reason that it allows you to interact with the environment. While such interaction isn’t earth-shattering, it adds another dimension to the gameplay. The second reason is that allows you to have more options available for doing various event tasks. Instead of […]
Once you’ve located the trainer for your profession, interact with them by pressing the default [F] key, and they will give you the option to purchase one of their Trait Manuals. To unlock the first tier of traits you will need to purchase the Adept’s Training Manual. This will allow you to spend up to […]
Initially you will only have access to the Adept trait tier. As you continue leveling, you will gain access to two additional tiers; Master and Grandmaster. The levels at which these unlock are: Adept – level 11 Master – level 40 Grandmaster – level 60 Each tier unlock allows you to spend 10 additional points […]
Virtue of Resolve Virtue of Resolve passively grants regeneration, not the boon but just healing over time. The technical term is “rejuvenation.” It is affected by healing power and scales with your level. The skill can be activated to heal yourself and nearby allies with a sixty second cooldown.

This is their defensive build, […]
The Engineer can make use of both direct and condition damage in order to defeat their foes, while the profession can be broken down into three key areas: weapons/kits, elixirs and turrets. Engineers are limited to three types of weapon: pistols (both main and offhand), rifle and shield and cannot have a second weapon set […]
Earth Shield (Magnetic Shield) Shield Smack – Melee hit. Crippling Shield – Throws your shield in a line in front of you, crippling enemies. Magnetic Surge – Run at an enemy and daze them. Magnetic Shield – Pull nearby enemies to you. Fortify – Become invulnerable for three seconds. This weapon is great, it gives […]
Minor Traits Stone Flesh (5 Points): Gain 1 toughness per level while attuned to earth. This is obviously 80 extra toughness at level 80 which is a fair amount. Earthen Blast (15 Points): Does damage and cripples foes when you switch to the earth attunement. This one is actually really nifty for gaining distance. Enduring […]
To steal, the Thief activates the ability by pressing F1, which allows the Thief to shadowstep up to the foe and steal the item. The range for stealing is a healthy 900 with a cooldown of 45 seconds. Once you’ve stolen from a foe, you can use the item gained by hitting F1 again. Each […]
