GW2: Buffing my playstyle by 100 %

Guild Wars 2 is getting another balance patch this Tuesday and it looks like this one was made especially for me! :D While I have every profession at level 80, the ones I've played the most are warrior, mesmer and thief - and all three get buffs to the weapons that belong to my favourites! …

GW2: Experiences with my Reaper – Blaugust Day 13

With going to the Guild Wars 2 community event at gamescom, then Blaugust in general and writing about gamescom, not much time was left to actually play in the Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend. I really wish they would put up betas for a week and not just three days. Last week, I was wondering …

Choosing between the mesmer and the warrior: Which one wins?

Update: The following post is from before the game's launch. I wrote about this topic again after having played both professions for a bit longer. You can find the post here. In case you're new to my blog: I've been to the EUFanDay in Brighton where we got to play Guild Wars 2. After our …

Now that the mesmer’s out: Which class do you want to play?

Guild Wars 2 has finally revealed its 8th class which, I'm sure, most of you already know by now. :) In case you missed it, here's the mesmer on the official GW2 website (and they also posted a link roundup for the mesmer to see all the reactions and interviews they did!). Now we know …
