Aside from collection items or course. I have my build items, except for a my maelstrom weapons, but it seems like aside from that my character is complete.

When you play an MMO like WoW you are always hunting and finding better gear to raise your ilvl and become stronger, but what do you do in this game after you have your gear? I run through dungeons now for CP not for gear, and the gear I do get is used for levelling my crafting.

This isn’t a dig at the game, as I am enjoying competing the zones and guilds, but I am curious about the above.

Thanks ; )

To be able to play all the roles and different classes efficiently is the starting point. Also, to have an in-depth understanding of the game and have the ability to theroy craft and refine your own builds to your playstyle of the different classes of your multiple characters. So you can get the many sets for your many characters for PvP/PvE/Trials, the right traits, transmute stones when you don't find those traits, mats for crafted sets and upgrading what you farm, getting the many skill points you will need through quests/dungeons/PvP, having all your skill lines maxed out that you use so they are more potent, enough skill points for those handy passives that are not class skills, and to be able to adjust and regrind when they are nerfed. Content wise the game is gigantic with lots to do for years but the most important part is having fun.

Hmm. This game isn't about chasing gear, leveling up, or any of that stuff to me. I don't think in terms of "builds" either, I create characters. When I go through the character creation process, I pick out gear sets for them that complement the character concept. Once I get those sets, that part of making the character vision a reality is finished, though I sometimes revise it later on. Gear is only one part of the character, though. Style is extremely important, so getting them an outfit that fits them is more important than gear (in fact, before the style system came out, I frequently prioritized fashion over function). While I haven't gotten into it much, there's also where they live and making a home for them using the housing system. But the biggest part of my characters by far is the stories to tell with them by going through various content areas of the game. And this game is bloody HUGE. My first character is the only one who has done all the quests in the base game, chapter zones, and DLC zones. I have plenty more to explore with my other characters. And if they ever get done, there's always creating a new character. I never run out of ideas.

Pvp, I wanna do good, I wanna wreck good.

But its reverse in realty, I always get my ass handed to me, whelp, better try harder.
