Guild Wars 2

Playing a necro and I want these stats : Precision Toughness and Conditon dmg wich are “Rabid gear” but you cant craft it wich makes me unable to get a rabid amulet. Only avialable in Spvp atm but all the other “gears” are avialable in both Spvp and pve, Knight Carrion and Rampagers etc, fix! please

Another issue with the gear is that I have no power wich makes me useless against Objectives in pve and wvw due to the fact I deal dmg via Conditions but objectives are immune to conditions so I´m lvl 80 with full nightmare gear and I do 200 dmg with my wand on a objective…wich is about 800 dmg less then a Ele with full CoF gear. Fix so that gear doesent nerf ur dmg on objectives…just lame

Could it be said you’re… rabidly anticipating a change here?

Same for my Precision Melee Mesmer, though Rampager is an effective, somewhat glass cannon substitute.

I have this exact same problems (also a conditions necro).

Please Anet some help here, thanks.

Rabid gear can drop in PvE. I have a Rabid upgrade sitting in my bank.

Seriously, this seems like an oversight. Why is Rabid the ONLY stat set that can’t be found on craftable gear???

I also would like to hear an explanation why you can only obtain this via karma vendor/very rare exotic drops (vatlaaw’s).

Only that upgrade drops. I can’t see many wanting to use that upgrade over runes either (speaking in generalities).

i agree completely with OP. am conditions engineer and i find doing no dmg to objects blows. also it is very hard to obtain this gear due to it’s rarity and high price

As a condition necro I am signing this as well. (And although it is out off topic in crafting forums, but as it has been already discussed: I would like something like if condition dmg > power, use condition dmg as power stat for hitting objectives)

Same boat. I have farmed enough to craft multiple sets. I have +400 lw and hunts. I can’t craft myself gear. I guess I get to farm 252k Karma. Fun.

Since my planned build is made for rabid gear, it would greatly help if this was added. I hate building glass cannon :’(

Try check dungeon vendors.

Please some one please answer why this is! I do not play a necro and have no interest in Rabid gear but this is the same case for Shaman, Traveler, and Soldier’s gear as well!

Imagine my surprise when after Tier 3 in crafting my Character’s main stats (Vitality / Toughness) completely disappeared as a combo from my crafting profession.

Valkyrie, Carrion, Knight, Berserker, Rampager, Explorer, and Cleric are all obtainable through crafting. But if you desire any other combo of stats you are pretty much screwed and suddenly the idea of getting gear from multiple outlets is gone. And you must farm one location (like a dungeon) for your stats. Not even for looks. I don’t know about all of the non crafted sets but the Soldier set which my current characters are interested in, isn’t available from anywhere but dungeons and WvWvW It just makes me knowing that some people get to 80, drop some gold and are geared in perfect sets, with the right stats for their build / profession. Weather through crafting or just going to the TP.

My Significant other got to 80 days behind me and geared up by dropping a gold here, a gold there, buying items on the TP. She also found a few mats to make some exotics from her profession and she has a full set of exotic gear. While I’m still farming the heck out of HotW over and over and over again just to get my stats because that is one of the only ways available for me to get it. And don’t get me started on the fact that ANet made me farm for my stats and is now punishing me for that farming.

I just want to know why I cannot craft my gear. I’ve pretty much decided for classes that used stats not craftable at max level I will just forgo crafting. I don’t see the point.

It was a nice slap in the face for my 400 jewelcrafting necro.

It almost seems like an oversight. I can’t see any reason why rabid and the others you mentioned wouldn’t be able to be crafted.

I’m not positive this is true but I heard in game that they used to be craftable, but were removed in beta at some point.

+1 to allowing us to craft Rabid, it’s the perfect for my necro… right now i’m combining coral, emerald, carrion and undead to get close to the balance i’d like…

+1 to this post, my Shortbow “Wilderness Survival/ Skirmishing” trapper ranger would benifit most from the Rabid (Condition/Precision/Toughness) Prefix Items, sadly they can’t be crafted so I’m forced to do dungeons.

I’ve settled on Twilight Arbor (Exp) for the medium set, since it’s Rabid stats, but the sets looks are not really a look I like. I know i can transmute the armor to a different look, and thats more than likely what I’ll be doing. TA medium > Sylvari Cultural Tier3.

Would be amazing though if I could craft this set ><

Rabid is neccesary for any actual condition build. it is needed. for once ignore the warrior on your shoulder and actually pay attention to the needs of the other classes.

The biggest issue is that soldiers/rabid ect cannot be found on jewelry.
