Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing since launch day as a berserker thief and with the new trait update I’ve really been wanting to change to a Venom thief but there’s a huge problem because I have full ascended trinkets that have berserker stats. It took me roughly 4 months to get all my ascended accessories and I play a decent amount. My problem is that I’ve invested so much time to this gear spec I just don’t ever want all that time to go to waste by not using the zerker gear. I would like it if we had the ability to change the stat spec on ascended, just like legendaries, I realize the hardcore people might not like this change because it makes the game even more casual but it’s just my opinion.

TL:DR – I think it would be cool to change the specs on ascended gear, just like legendaries, to encourage more unique and different builds.

While I wouldn’t mind this myself, I also see that the devs made umpteen million different ascended trinkets, weapons and armor with different stats so that players would have to choose some over others. Giving a select any stat options on these would defeat having the variety. One ring fits all occasions, so why even have a choice at the trader? Legendaries are so expensive and take much longer to make that having this select option is a further incentive to go for them. Now, If they start making legendary trinkets and armor then I would suspect, or rather expect and demand that they have select stat options just as the legendary weapons. I just don’t see them doing this for ascended trinkets especially, if any ascended item. Now that being said, I would prefer some bonus laurels for maybe completing every daily event and not just the minimum of 5, or have some additional ways to add a few more laurels than just 1 or a handful per day. Would make getting more than a few trinkets per character much easier to do.

I didn’t think of it that way, good point. It just makes me sad knowing all never reach another build type’s full potential due to not being able to have max stat gear.
