GW2. Open World Builds for Guild Wars 2 PvE Exploration, Story, Events, Meta, Fun.
While you can run anything you want in the open world and generally succeed, these builds will provide the most value to allow you to complete any of the open-world content available in Guild Wars 2 such as:
- Map Completion
- Story and dynamic events
- Hero Points and Champions
- Meta-Events
- Dungeons
- And the most challenging bounties and Legendary bosses
