Guild Wars 2

the new infusion progresion system is very good but lacks one thing.
- The ability to keep your progress instead of flushing it down the toilet.

What do I mean ?

- say I craft a +6 infusion and place it in my ring, than I start crafting a new +6
- In the current system my 1st +6 is useless and is flushed down the toilet, I need to craft 2x +6 to get to +7 completely disregarding the time and money placed on crafting the one in my ring.

what it should be like

craft the 2nd +6 and combine it with my 1st crafted +6 that is now in my ring, to get to +7, this way my earlier progress is NOT simply flushed down the toilet.

I agree, however they seem to not understand this concept.

unless they take previous progress into account I see no reason what so ever to go beyond 55 AR which is reachable w/o making any of these infusions.

rings 10×2= 20 AR
earrings 5×2= 10 AR
amulet 5×1= 5 AR
back 10×1= 10 AR
weapon 10×1= 10 AR
total 55 AR

with 55 AR I can do fractals all the way to 49 and take only 1% damage from agony.

If and when they decide to implement the proposed change so my progress is kept, than and only than will I ever go beyond the 55 AR threshold.

That’s only true because you already have +5 infusions in those slots. Any new infused rings have empty slots and so you’d have to make them to get to 55 AR. (For now.)

In any case, once ascended armor comes out, you’ll have 6 new slots for versatile simple infusions. You can get to 70 AR without any of the new infusions, or in your case since you already have three +5’s, 85 AR.

I think they may have changed the way Agony works though. at least per the current table via the wiki.

running a 21 last night. with 15 AR. pre patch I would have only been ticked for 12 percent.
Last night it was hitting me for closer to 40.

They did say that they adjusted how the agony and AR worked and adjusted the table for it. However I do not think the Wiki has been updated yet.

In the Grand scheme of things. it really doesn’t matter as yes you are correct that you could achieve plenty of AR only using the versatile infusions. but by the same token I completely agree with you on the fact that you should be able to just add more infusion to the existing slot without having to make an entirely new “jewel”

Meh,
