Guild Wars 2

Since release I have rolled and re-rolled classes. I finally found one I like (guardian) and went through the process of gearing up. I ran into a wall though while researching Ascended and Back pieces in general. In the entire game there is NOT one Cleric back piece above masterwork quality in the ENTIRE game. The same applies for Ascended items; again, not ONE in the entire game.
I’m not sure if this is Arena Net forcing us to choose specific items; or they simply don’t want to make them. I would really like to know the answer; since I can’t play the game exactly “my way.”

*Attached file is related to how I feel in GW2 as of late.

Heh. Sweetie.

Where Was I?

Oh yes. You checked the Temple Vendors? They’re selling Exotic back pieces now for 42k Karma.

I second that, it also forces you to make a build similar to everyones. Since most of the current gears do not support other stat combinations.

Yes, the ascended gear offers Invader’s, Rabid, and some other stats similar to those found on exotics, but stats like Carrion and Cleric’s are missing from ascended gear. This needs to be fixed. There should be similar stats available through the ascended gear like those available on exotic gear. It is unfair to the community of players that some stat combinations like Invader’s Power/Vitality/Toughness gain improved stats through ascended gear while other stats like Cleric’s Healing Power/Power/Toughness do not. The following link contains a list of all exotic stat combinations currently available in game through full armor sets: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_stat_combinations

I want to bump this. As a condition dmg ranger I feel completely screwed with ascended gear. I’d like

Power, Vitality, Condition Damage
Toughness, Vitality, Condition Damage

to be available with ascended items. Currently I can not buy any rings/back pieces to use, because they would harm my build completely. I can not progress further in fractals due to this also, as I NEED infused items with AR to even progress over FotM 20…PLEASE add stat combos to ascended gear!!!

Why not revamp all gear, exotic and above, to have a drop down list for each of the 3 stats?

It could be done in such a way that selecting, for example, precision, in one list would disable this stat from selection in the other 2 lists, so you must always have 3 different stats selected but you decide what stats they are.

This could be a one off option to select your stats when you first obtain the item that locks the stats in via a confirmation dialog. ANet could then sell keys via the gem store to unlock the stat selection to allow you to change your gear stats should you want to do so.

They really should revamp a LOT of the gear. They can’t say they added “new” rings and such when each stat allocation they added is on two rings.

Made the exact same post 2 hours ago.

Need real ascended with +heal/pow/tough.

I don’t care about condition damage & whatnot (using axe and warhorn eh)

I’ve been saving all my laurels till now, in the hope of getting ascended gear with:
Power
Vitality
Condition

Really hoping you add ascended gear thats worth spending and collecting laurels through daily.

I think they will add all the combinations with all the items, at least they should.
The reason a build is “bad” isn’t only because of the build but can also be because the character isn’t wearing the right armour to complement it.
