Guild Wars 2

I think that there needs to be a stat change on Rampager gear.

Instead of power/precision/condition dmg the stats should be precision/condition dmg/condition duration.

This will allow condition based builds to actually benefit a lot more to be on par with berserkers. Also the rounding done on condition DMG needs to go.

this is very nice, or maybe add that combination of stats you said call it malice maybe dunno it would be very useful.
for now this can be done only with some runes.

Yeah, I use rampagers on my engineer, and I don’t care for power. The precision is just for applying conditions.

I’d much rather armour have multiple slots and we just add the pieces we want, but if stacked they work like runes.

eg. You get a chest piece with 3 slots. You add 3 Gems of Precision. Like Runes the Gem has stages.
Stage 1 gives you 50 precision.
Stage 2 is a penalty like adding 2s to weapon swap recharge.
Stage 3 gives you 100 precision.

If we wanted a power damage build we’d roll berserkers, but if were condition based our condition damage is not going to benefit from power, just supplement it so that’s why I was thinking to just change Rampagers.

I strongly disagree with this. You can’t just change the stats associated with a specific prefix without seriously upsetting players (and rightfully so) who sunk time, effort, and money specifically obtaining said prefix on their equipment because of the stats it currently has.

that’s why i suggested an addition of the combination above instead of a change.
but i think it’s very needed, or a lot of players would look for it. (me included of course)

Don’t change, add.
I enjoy my Rampagers gear, I don’t want it to be altered.

So your alright having armor that is statistically inferior to the new armor? That’s one of the reasons I want it changed, I don’t want to have to buy an entire new set of armor….have like 4 already.

If you are condition built this armor will be in line with berserker, why do you want to keep a sub par armor around?

Power supplements condition damage, it does not modify it. This is exactly why berserkers and the current Rampagers set have such a large damage gap.

I have both berserkers and rampager gear and I can tell you there’s a huge difference. In about 6 seconds I can deal 18k+ damage with berserkers, Rampagers no way.

Throw food like rare veggie pizza in the mix and you gain nothing with that power, add butternut and berserkers is in heaven.

I recently switched out all of my Berserker gear for Rampager’s to try a hybrid condition/burst build. I do think the stats have their place, but that isn’t to say I wouldn’t also like more available stat combinations for other class builds.

I can understand why people think having a diverse set of stats is useful, but I just don’t see the point in even having these stats if they are inferior to begin with. If people really want to have condition/burst build they’d still be better off with half the “new” rampagers set of gear with prec/cond dmg/cond duration and half berserkers. That would be an equal benefit condition/burst build.

I mean even with the current condition rounding that is going on this would greatly help in getting people into the next tier of condition damage and then having the burst.

Either way you look at it, Rampagers is inferior to Berserkers.
