GW2. Open World Builds for Guild Wars 2 PvE Exploration, Story, Events, Meta, Fun.

While you can run anything you want in 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
- And the most challenging bounties and Legendary bosses
While some of these builds are great for team play, they are still mostly oriented for solo play so that you can enjoy the open world even when your friends log off. If you want builds without elite specializations, check the leveling builds linked below.
