    I myself mainly used Gw2Hook because i couldn't get ReShade to work properly, but using either/or works. As for the preset I based the modifications off of, this post was my main inspiration for getting Gw2Hook in the first place. Keep in mind not all of the shaders work with Gw2Hook only from what I remember, and I forget which ones they were specifically (sorry 💀), but there are actually sliders in the shaders themselves which let you modify the effect to your own liking. Keep in mind that this also affects UI, but I personally never found it to be an issue. I hope this helps? I'm no tech genius myself, so if I got it to work (partly), I'm sure you can too

    Yes I use GW2Hook, with minor colour and contrast adjustments to help make shapes more defined as I am legally blind.

    I use GW2Hook, which is a fork of reshade specifically designed to draw under the UI and therefore not effect it. It will only work if you run GW2 using DX9 and not DX11.

    I, and lots of others specifically use gw2 hook. It's a version of reshade that is designed to specifically work with gw2, and while a little old, it still works perfectly well. It can also remove gw2 fog (and I believe this was initially the purpose, but you can toggle that in one of that tabs. It is designed to recognise GW2's UI (unlike standard reshade and gshade)- which just makes it so much nicer for lots of shaders, especially if you like any kind of DOF.
