What We Did This Week

Chris:

Level 54 on my Warrior, level 10 on my Engineer, and now working my alts up to level 10 while I need a break from my warrior.
I think that Blazeridge Steppes is my favorite zone
Crafting is a huge pain for me, more than any other MMO in recent memory.
No instance runs this week, as RL has been keeping me too busy.

Celeste: No time for GW2 :(

ian‏@obtuseViolator @gwreporter as not a minmaxer but a build/playstyle customizer wondering your thoughts on being locked to some stat boosts in the traits
When you commit to certain trait lines you’re also committed to the attribute (precision, power, toughness, vitality) associated with that trait line. When choosing traits you have to consider these modifiers as well. It seems like most of the trait lines are naturally compatible with their attribute.
