Yes!

Officially in Heavensward content!

Or, I will be as soon as I'm done writing this and actually go accept the first Heavensward quest.

Keeper of Lake went fine. We wiped once on the second boss due to everything going wrong with the fire puddles, and also one of our DPS got disconnected, but we cleared it easily after they came back and we figured out better fire puddle positioning.

The Chrysalis went well as well. Again, we wiped once, and it was in the meteor phase, which was perfectly reasonable, honestly. We lost a lot of DPS during the second ball phase, and one of the tanks told the healers to LB and resurrect the DPS because we were just about to enter the meteor phase, and they said that they had been in a group that has cleared the meteors without DPS LB. Well, we got the DPS up (although one died shortly after in meteors), and we were soooo close to finishing the meteor phase. SO close that I honestly thought we had cleared it when we wiped. But no, we wiped. Second time went so easy that it was kind of anti-climactic, honestly. OH, and so exciting: my healing partner was an Astrologian who was in Diurnal Stance! First time I've seen that, and honestly, that's probably part of why we did so wonderfully! Yay for synergy!
I was so proud of myself in Chrysalis though. I felt like I did well as a Scholar in this one. Whenever we got Triple Spark I would Adlo the main tank + Virus Nabriales or Eye for an Eye the tank if Virus was on CD. And when he would do his explosion after the ball phase I would Succor + Sacred Soil (yay!).

Steps of Faith went pretty flawlessly. I was assigned main healer (thank goodness! I was so worried I'd have to do the Dragonslayer part, and I was so nervous about the idea of having that much responsibility!), and basically spammed Adlo on the tank and/or Succor whenever everyone was taking damage. Whoever was on the Dragonslayer missed with it like, twice, and I think we got the counterattack from it on the last one because we very nearly wiped. I say very nearly, but we did actually all die. It's just that, our deaths were staggered. I was in the first group to die, which consisted of me and half the DPS. By the time we had run back to the boss, the other healer and a tank had died. By the time the second tank died, the original tank had made it back, etc. Weird. We won in one try though.

And now I just got done watching allll the cutscenes, and I'm in Heavensward!

Astrologian here I come!

I might also try Dark Knight. Not sure yet. I stockpiled some tanking accessories from the MSQ and I also have a full set of Monk/Ninja gear (also from MSQ) for if I ever want to play that. Neat.

GW2 Day 4: Where are you now?

So, it's been four days since the release of Guild Wars 2 (7, for those of us who preordered and had early access). I want to know; what is it that you've accomplished thus far?
Personally, I currently have a level 12 Guardian, level 10 Engineer, and a level 5 Elementalist, Thief, and Warrior. I haven't really dabbled in any crafts yet, as I don't have the focus to go grind for mats. On my Guardian, I have completed about 50% of Queensdale exploration. Quite a bit to go, I know, but I'm proud of it. I'm also pretty into her storyline at this point, as I've been going in earlier than I should be (I just went into a level 14 story quest with her, and made it through okay. A few deaths, but not too bad).
So, what have you accomplished that seems noteworthy? For those not playing GW2, what have you accomplished in the games you are playing that you're proud of lately?
