Warrior literally made me giggle with manly glee (surely there is such a thing).
"Holy shit that's one massive dude!"

Both of them look great! Love the dye jobs.
What armour is that on the Ele? Some random bits?

I love the look of the Norn armor. They went through a lot of trouble to make some elaborate tattoos so I am glad there is armor that allows you to show off that choice. I picked the older, doughy body type. I like the grizzled old warrior archetype.

The ele is Vigil armor for everything except the chest which is Crucible of Eternity. As soon as I get her finished, I'll post some updates.

Sorry for the shoddy quality but you asked for pics lol ><

They're not so bad, and definitely better than nothing! What's that helmet on your Warrior??

[Era]

My guardian, soon hitting level 50!

Norn Cultural Tier 3.

[Era]

Just from the preview bits since she's not high enough level, but bought some mix/match armour for my guardian today!

I just started playing again after putting it down shortly after release.

I was working on the monthly, which meant a bunch of jumping puzzles. They were irritating, but oh so satisfying to see that chest and achievement pop when I finished them. I did a little bit of SAB, which was a blast. And jumped into the new dungeon for Frost and Fire. My first experience in a GW2 dungeon. OH WOW! Crazy! Jumping, and dodging, and spelling. It was a riot, even if I did die a few times. It made me realize how mindless I'd gotten in LFR.

Guardian dinged 80 tonight! Now to figure out how to most effectively gear her up... Ideas? Not exactly loaded in this game, so sheer auction house gearing is out of the question.

[Gracerath]

Kind of depends on what you want to do with her. Unless you're trying to speed run CoF, no one will really care what your gear is like so pick the playstyle you enjoy and tailor your gear around that. I geared up my warrior with various karma gear from the Orr temples mixing and matching and going for mostly balanced stats. I used that gear to run a lot of AC and made enough money to eventually buy some berserker items.

So I reinstalled the other night. Why did no one mention how fun guardians were? Easily more enjoyable than my Mesmer ever was.

I often hear the same thing when people try out Mesmers for the first time. I like that they've done a fairly decent job at making most classes feel different from each other so you have a somewhat unique experience with each. As much as I love my warrior, he is boring as fuck to play although very effective. My dagger/dagger elementalist on the other hand... great fun.

Guardians were surprisingly fun, I agree! My first was a Necromancer and an Elementalist, which I enjoyed enough, but they weren't quite as ... Hm, easy to enjoy, I suppose.




EDIT: What are your main uses of karma? I'm a little unsure what I should spend it on.

[Gracerath]

I save all my jugs of liquid karma for alts. Once they reach 80, you can blow a bunch to get them fully geared with Orr stuff. Otherwise, most of my karma just rots or I get bored and buy some of the jewel boxes to crack open (available on any karma vendor in the level 80 Orr zone). I got an endless earth elemental tonic and some cash one session. I believe you can get a mini pet and other elemental tonics as well. There are a few more convoluted ways to convert karma into money but I'm far too lazy to do that and it really isn't a great conversion rate. (I think one method involves buying karma items and dumping them into the mystic toilet)

[Era]

That's the conclusion I've come to as well; just throw it all on gearing new 80 alts. I just wanted to double check so I didn't blow it all on Orr armour only to find out that "Hey, you can convert 1 karma = 1 gold at this fancy vendor guy over here." and then break my face against my keyboard.
