Guild Wars 2

- Updated Knight’s Jewel so that it appropriately grants Power rather than Toughness.

I just simply do not understand why you would do this to a good item set. Not only does it screw over a bunch of people who have crafted these items specifically in mind for being as tanky as possible but it leaves us with very little alternatives that we actually want.

Now we have to mix and match 3 jewel sets to even become anywhere near as beefy as we were prior to the patch.

You could have simply fixed other lackluster jewels and given them a damage component but removing the all in defensive stat jewel just irks me to no end.

I’d really love to hear the justification behind the change in stats and whats going to be done going forward.

-.- I don’t get it. There’s a stat change?

Edit: Oh yea, I read the changelog & i think you have the wrong idea.

Knight Jewel[s] are PvP item, it originally should be giving +75 power but gave +75 toughness instead.
I think what you trying to say is the Knight set, which is totally different thing.
Jeweler don’t craft Knight Jewel, but Emerald.

The stat change was global and effected PvE as well.

So now there’s virtually no difference (aside from precision / crit mods) between that Knights and Berserkers.

Emerald while it does give +Toughness doesnt give +Vitality which was the entire point of having Knights previously. +Tough and +Vit on the same jewel.

It was pretty much the same as having “solider” labeled gear for Jewelery but instead of having power you had precision.

Edited: Mislabeled a few stats. Also Emerald jewels are (insert long Materials used here) Of the KNIGHT

I’m getting confuse now. lol
Are we talking about this?

First link is what im talking about.

Used to have +Tough + Vit

It was the reason for crafting them, had many guildmates request them so now they are a bit peeved to say the least.

The item in the first link is the PvP only item. It’s also bind on acquire so nobody would be requesting that from anyone.

Yea, that’s why I’m confuse. Since Knight Jewel are PVP only item.

ZZZZZ

Not that specifically let me go grab screenshots since this communication thing isn’t working.

Its full name is “Emerald Orichalcum Ring of The Knight”, and yes it was affected by the patch which was the point i was trying to convey.

Not just Knights Set PvP specific got changed.

Crafted (all?) Knight’s gear, for PVE, has always been tough/pow/pre, so far as I know. Check the link below. Note the last edit date at the bottom of the page (26 November 2012). The only gear that I know of that has pow/tough/vit is Soldier’s, which we aren’t able to craft at this time.

Edit: This is the only thing I can find that isn’t soldier’s but has pow/tough/vit — http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Emerald_Pendant

Why not pull of the precision and put power rather than the Tough/Vit.

Knights were a nice compliment to Clerics and now they are basically trash.

For gawd sack, we all know “of the Knight” item.
What the changelog did is to the sPVP item, “Knight Jewel”. Not knight set or jewelry. That’s 2 different thing.

Emerald (accessory) or Knight Set (Armor) has always been that stat (Power, precision, toughness), no changes.
The only PVE set that give that stat (Toughness, Vitality, Power) are karma set.

Which bring this question back to me. Did you read the 2nd link I posted previously?

A perfect example of a person that made a thread to lazy to go and look in game. Sums up state of the forums sadly. There was no change terrible that you couldn’t just go look at the trading post. Emerald (pve version) has always had those stats.

I can’t believe you honestly own a set otherwise you would have known this.

Lol oZii, so true. Nothing changed in pve, i rock the full set of knights armor and jewels.

pretty sure that change was for PvP Knight’s jewel item. which had the wrong stats before.

in PvE, the Knight’s, of the Knight’s items are all the same. have been the same. and i’m still donning full Knight’s as well right now : ))

pve and wvw knights has always been power/prec/tough with tough as the major stat

the emerald jewls are kinda skrewy since they have prec as the major stat (pitty in my opinion)

what id really like to see for pve and wvw is vit/tough/healing power… might actually make mele viable in higher fotm levels and wvw

would be too OP for guardians in spvp though…

pwned! ppl who are too bored and want to qq about something but haven’t got the facts right =)
