Guild Wars 2

Make the defense more viable, it is known that dps scale better defense in this game, considering some attacks by percentage, etc … as every character has abilities with Reflects etc, no one chooses to focus on defense .. I’m referring to PVE, anyway, if the defense is already viable, show me, because I see ppl with 3k armor dying as easy as ppl with 2k. ty, cya.

The basic reason behind why you cannot negate Power 1-to-1 with Toughness is because the latter stacks additively (Total Armor = Armor + Toughness), whereas Power stacks multiplicatively (Total Attack = Power x Attack).

Of course, all the numbers in the game are balanced around that idea.

And in PvE, the reason why armor is “meaningless” is because the base damage of bosses is very large. Dealing 15,000 damage on someone with 1,836 armor means dealing 9,000 damage to someone with 3,000 armor.

So what was the question?
