I haven't played GW for more than 7 months. I heard that there will be a new expansion pack coming out soon so I'm very excited.

Since I have been missing this game for so long, I really hope you guys can help me out and let me regain some game knowledge. Your help is much appreciated!

1) I saw that there is an Icy Dragon Sword now. But all of them are Blues. Is there any Gold/Green version for this sword?
2) What exactly does the Fire and Ice damage do? Is it that some monsters have less Fire/Cold damage resistance?
3) Generally, which one will you recommend? The Fire or Ice Damage for both PVM and PVP?
4) Is it that the Max Damage of sword is still 15-22 +15% damage(always conditions)?
5) What is the most common PVP build for W/E? What is the better ratio to distribute Swordmanship/Strength/Tactics/Magic?
6) I saw that some people are using the Air Magic Skill "Gale" to knock down the opponent. Is it a good skill? How about "Water Trident"? Which one seems better? And if I use Water Trident, should I equip a sword with Cold damage?
7) Hmm....one silly question: What does it mean by "Exhaustion" after using a skill?
8) Is there any One-on-One PVP Arena now? Or is there any way that I can PVP with a specific player?
9) May I ask what kind of Armor and Shield is that?
10) Where can I craft this Armor and what is the price and materials need?
11) Is there any Elite skills which are recommended to learn?
12) What kind of runes do most people use now? Is it wise to use a Major/Superior rune and use a weapon with +30 HP as a trade off?
13) Does Fire Damage helps Fire Magic Skills?
14) the final question: Will there be more Faces to choose in the expansion pack? If so, will we be able to change the character's face at that time? And can we bring the old character towards the new factions?
I'm sorry that I got so many question. Thank you sooooo much for your help!!! I can't wait to start playing the game again!
