Guild Wars 2

Thank you for taking the time to check this out and help clear up this issue.

My confusion all starts with the sPvP Knight’s Amulet, which features Power/Precision/Vitality. However once you attempt to craft a Knight’s set of gear, you end up with Power/Precision/Toughness. Now P/P/T is found on multiple sets of dungeon armor and can be crafted. I however have yet to find a single P/P/V set in PVE or as a crafting option. Why the identical name if the stats aren’t the same? Where is my option to obtain P/P/V for WvW and PvE?

There’s a third issue too (1 being the primary stat and 2 being the secondary):

Knights sPvP – Pow(1), Prec(2), Vit(2)
Knights PvE Armour – Pow(1), Prec(2), Tough(2)
Emerald Addons – Prec(1), Pow(2), Tough(2)

As far as I can tell, Knights (and Emerald addons) are very unique in that nothing matches, but every other armour type/jewel/trinket does. Surely this is an error? It just doesn’t make sense and fit in.

All Knight stats, including the Emerald trinkets and Emerald addons should ideally be standardised to Power(1), Precision(2), Vitality(2). Any chance of Dev confirmation on whether Knights/Emerald is supposed to unique in this regard?

Actually I think it is,

sPvP is vitality primary and precision/power as secondary.
PvE/crafted Knight’s is toughness primary and precision/power secondary.
Emerald gems are just as you said, precision primary and power/toughness secondary.

There seems to be no reason for why it is so widely varied. However in no set is power the primary. So you either end up with Precision (gems), Toughness (PvE/crafted), or Vitality (sPvP) as the primary.

Oh yeah, my mistake about Power being primary, it’s not. I knew everything was mixed up, just pulled the stats out of my head as I made the post. Probably best to completely ignore all the stats and primaries I mentioned in the previous post lol.

Just to clarify, Emerald trinkets (the rings, amulets, earrings themselves) are Toughness primary, but the Emerald addons are Precision primary. This is the only kind of gem with this issue.
