Guild Wars 2

Why is sPvP shaman and world shaman different? I reallly love my necro build in sPvP and would like to mimic it for WvW but I can’t.

Shaman armor in the regular world has Vit instead of toughness.

There are other inconsistencies too, like Knight Armor in sPvP is Vit, Power, Toughness and in world its Toughness, Power, Vit. First stat being primary.

It would be nice to have this combination for world play. The obvious quick fix would be to make Shaman stats match up. Maybe make them all match up, so you know a build you tested in sPvP can translate over into world play.

And while I’m griping, why on earth does this game pair precision with condition damage for the necro? All of its strong condition applying weapons (scepter, Staff) lack a good damage multiplier(how much benefit they derive from your attack stat). Thus they have inherently low damage and you know the multiple of a small number is a small number. So Precision is useless for such weapons.

So the best stats for a Condition necro are Condition dmg, Toughness, Healing power/Vitality

But you can’t get those stats without having to take worthless power and/or precision.

This isn’t a problem for the other classes since their primary builds are direct damage builds. Even the other ‘conditiony’ classes like thief and Ranger split their dps 50/50 between direct and condition.
