Hi,

I am a returning player and just wanted to ask about elite specs. Currently I am working my way through the story, but want to play WvW and do fractals and other stuff while I am at it.

I play elementalist, and have been playing and enjoying Tempest throughout HoT. Moving on to Living World S3 I want to try some new things.

Is say Weaver still a worthwhile unlock, or should I just go for Evoker instead? I hope and believe that I can eventually unlock all the elite specs.. but for now Weaver unlocks a sword which is cool, and Evoker has no new weapon.

However I am wondering that is it worth unlocking Weaver now before Evoker? I see Evoker has a lot more builds registered for WvW, PvE and sPvP than Weaver.

The amount of units the first army gives is crazy. I have been playing Zhu Xi after the patch and the first batch of units especially feels so strong.

Especially since you can kinda tech switch with it during feudal and fighting. Getting like 6 free horses or however many it was is so good if you are like spear + zhugu.

Haven't gotten to the second batch of units yet since most games just end with the first.

Feels super strong and really fun to play with obviously. I can see this getting nerfed in the future, but will enjoy it as long as it lasts.

I recently got back into the game after I stopped playing during the HoT expansion.

And what the hell this game is so good. I have been completely hooked again. The only MMO I have played after HoT has been FFXIV, and this game is such a breath of fresh air. Actually good open world pve content is great and exploring the map is also pretty fun.

Currently working through the personal quest chain after I got to level 80. Next stop is to try pvp and WvW after I get some gear for that. Expecting to get giga stomped, but I used to love WvW. Sadly in HoT WvW was not in a good spot with some servers simply dominating. I hear its a lot better and more active now.

Probably won't go back to other MMOs anytime soon. The combat and jumping puzzles and stuff here are just really fun.

Waiting for sales to grab the expansions I am missing and looking to complete HoT this time that I never did previously.
