Guild Wars 2 10th Anniversary

Ten years ago, the launch of Guild Wars 2 opened a new window into the world of Tyria. Three expansions, five seasons of Living World releases, and countless updates later, we're still inspired by the dedication of the game's fans.

To commemorate this anniversary for new and veteran players alike, we've added a series of new achievements taking you across the game to earn Proofs of Legend, which you can trade for the new Decade's armor set. If you're busy this week, no need to worry—these achievements and the armor set will be available permanently. Characters who are turning ten themselves will also be receiving an extra Proof of Legend to kickstart their collection. If you have extras, you can trade them for some treats to share with your friends.

It's an honor to share this world with you. Thanks for playing, and here's to many more years of adventuring in Tyria!

The Guild Wars 2 10th Anniversary event starts now, giving a 30% bonus to karma gain, magic find, and PvP/WvW reward track progress for a week.
A permanent new achievement category, Decade of the Dragons, has been added in the Side Stories category. Complete various achievements taking you across the regions of Guild Wars 2, its expansions, and Living World to earn Proofs of Legend. Completing a set of 10 and 20 achievements will also reward you with your choice of a weapon from the new Dragon Decade set and the new Decade's War cape skin. The cape skin will also unlock an alternate version with your guild emblem when you acquire it!
Proofs of Legend will also be delivered to any characters as they turn 10 years old or older, along with the other prizes in their birthday gift.
Trade your Proofs of Legend to an ancient armorsmith in capital cities to unlock the new Decade's armor set. Once the full set is unlocked, you can trade your extra Proofs of Legend for consumable items.

General

The Character Adventure Guide has been added to the game. The Character Adventure Guide is a set of new goals for level 1–79 characters that are designed to guide a player's journey while leveling up in Guild Wars 2. These goals are listed on the right side of the UI along with your other objectives, and completing them will grant substantial experience rewards to leveling characters! Level 80 characters can complete tasks but will receive significantly reduced experience rewards.
The achievements for the Character Adventure Guide are character specific, not account based.
These achievements do not award any achievement points.
All experience gains for characters under level 80 have been slightly increased.
The existing Tutorial achievement category has been deprecated and moved to the Historical category for anyone who has already completed them.

Profession Skills

General

Core Weapon Tuning

In this update, we focused on improving the number of viable core weapon choices across many professions in PvE. This included increasing base damage on many ranged weapon autoattacks to a higher baseline damage per second. These changes should help reduce the performance gap between players using suboptimal and optimal weapons.

Guild Wars 2 is designed to encourage social gameplay–you should be stronger playing together than alone. With that in mind, we took another look at how boons are given out. Several weapon skills have been updated to grant might to nearby allies as well as the user in PvE, further contributing to boon availability in group events.

Damage Build Improvements

Our player community develops builds that are considered the gold standard for effective play, so we review them regularly. We made changes to some elite specialization weapons and traits to make various builds more competitive. Our goal is for every profession to have viable power- and condition-based damage builds.

Power Tempest
Condition Tempest
Power Weaver
Power Scrapper
Power Holosmith
Power Dragonhunter
Power Reaper
Power Herald
Power Vindicator
Power Daredevil
Power Deadeye
Power Berserker
Condition Berserker
Power Spellbreaker

Improving Support Diversity

Firebrand and healing Mechanist are currently dominating group compositions. In this update, we're improving support-role diversity by adding stability and aegis to Tempest's shouts and giving Druids increased access to those boons as well.

We're also making targeted reductions to stability and might uptime on Firebrand and Mechanist builds to make room for other professions. Firebrand's high on-demand stability from Mantra of Liberation is too essential in Fractals of the Mists and other group content, while Mechanist's barrier and might upkeep are cementing it as a build that pairs together too well with a Quickbrand to meet a group's support needs.

In the immediate future, we want to make sure more builds can be used successfully. In future updates, we'll expand this further by shoring up more support and healing build options.

Elementalist

We've firmed up the role of Fire Attunement skills in condition builds and improved Air Attunement skills' direct strike damage. Tempest's Transcendent Tempest trait has more than doubled in power to set it apart as the keystone choice for damage builds.

Engineer

The previous update's Mechanist-only damage reduction to Aim-Assisted Rocket left us with room to add damage to the core trait Big Boomer, bringing up the damage output of Holosmiths and Scrappers. That's not enough to close the gap on its own, so we're also making specialization-specific damage increases to Scrapper and Holosmith on sword, hammer, and Blast Gyro–which, in addition to more damage, will now stun enemies rather than knocking them away.

We're reducing the output of dominant Mechanist healing builds to give other support options more breathing room. We're also slightly reducing the output of condition damage builds with reductions to the Mech Command skills Rolling Smash and Discharge Array.

Now causes knockdown instead of knockback, with a duration of 2 seconds in PvE and 1 second in PvP and WvW. (PvE only) Damage multiplier increased from 2 to 3. Boons removed from targets increased from 1 to 3.

Guardian

Multiple stored uses of on-demand stun break and stability have made Firebrand mandatory in Fractals, Strike Missions, raids, and even WvW. In this update

in PvE only - see Guild Wars 2 Wiki notes

, Firebrand's Mantra of Liberation is reduced from 3 to 2 ammunition, with an increased cooldown. Together with an added source of stability for both Tempest and Druid, this will provide better parity across different professions' support builds in PvE. Firebrand's multiple sources will be countered by higher recharge.

The greatsword damage increases benefit Dragonhunter builds, and hammer improvements will help close the gap between it and other damaging weapons while living up to that weighty feel a hammer should have.

Greatsword

Strike: (PvE only) Damage multiplier increased from 0.8 to 0.9.
Vengeful Strike: (PvE only) Damage multiplier increased from 0.8 to 1.0.
