So basically, the last time I played this was 3 years ago (and that was only casual gaming as well) and with all the news of GW2 I really feel like playing again but I'm really not sure on what build to go for. I've had a read of a couple of builds and had a look at PvX but I'm still unsure.
Just a couple of questions:
1) Basically, I'd like a decent PvE build that can also do a bit of farming for when I need a few plats (I'm interested mainly in the story though at this point). Any recommendations?
2) Which campaign should I start with? Back when I played, I only had Prophs and Factions but I've now ordered Nightfall and EoTN. I'd really like to start with either Factions or Nightfall. I remember levelling up very quickly in Factions but then after getting off the starter island finding the game very difficult so I think I'm leaning towards Nightfall.
How quickly do you level up in Nightfall? I'd really like to hit 20 very quickly like I did in Factions.
Also, if you start in Factions and level up to 20 and then move over to Nightfall, how much story do you miss? I remember when in Factions if you moved over to Prophs, you started about halfway through. I already had a character on prophs so I wasn't too bothered about the missed story but I've never played Nightfall and don't want to miss any story.
3) Any decent farming spots nowadays taking into consideration the build I'm going to follow? I've had a look at some guides and some YouTube videos but they're a number of years old now and there's a possibility most of the stuff I'm seeing has been nerfed.
Thanks
Starting again after 3 years and not sure what to go for..

1. Well what profession are you talking about using? And if ur suggesting what new character to make I'd say go with Elementalist if u want to do dmg or Monk if you like to heal/prot. Looking at ur other questions you might also want to start as a dervish if you start in NF as they are melee and are getting a "fix" from Anet in the near future. As for builds and farming spots I'd say just look at wiki as each build is different for each farm spot.
2. Well, in my opinion, id start prophecies for the storyline, factions for the easy lvl 20 and assassin and ritualist professions(you can only make an assassin or rit if u start in factions) since that classes are a very good farming classes(possible nerf in future), and Nightfall because you havent played it yet and fairly easy to get lvl 20.
I cant remember where factions characters start off in NF but i know its still noob island.

visit pvx wiki and glance thru the farming section - this will give you a chance to see all 10 professions and go for what you feel you are happy with - nothing worse than being told builds that may not suit your style of play.
Each campaign has its own start area and foreign heros start part way in - natives get a bit of background story but its not much tbh and even starting part way you dont miss anything really important.NF for example if native is getting used to foes and doing a lot of missions leading upto what can be called the merge - the part in storyline all players need to do to continue - that merge point is where the storyline really comes into effect.

yeah faction characters start off in kamadan then quickly move to the Elona mainland, so u miss most of the "noob island" mission and quests.

Quote: I'll give pvx wiki another read through then, see which ones I like then post a few here to see if they've been nerfed or not. All builds on PvXWiki are current unless they have a nerfed tag at the top of the page. All builds linked to the main page are current, so you shouldn't need to worry about whether they are nerfed.
