Guild Wars 2

Minor gripe. And some suggestions on how to fix it.

The current state of infusions is thus:

• Simple Infusions: Just Agony Resist. Super easy to get.

• Laurel Infusions: Just stats, but only +4. Affordable.

• Mystic Forge Infusions: +5 stats and Agony Resist, but INSANELY expensive.

• WvW Infusions: +5 stats and a WvW-unique bonus, and very affordable.

Now assuming that each piece of ascended armor on Tuesday will include an infusion slot, players will have access to a total of 16 – 20 infusion slots. 20 infusion slots at +5 for a stat is +100, which is not insignificant. (Edit: fixed math on number of slots.)

We should have an easier way to obtain +5 infusions for PvE – at the very least, ones without Agony Resist. A PvE player’s best option for those stats currently is to buy the WvW infusions, but that seems like a waste of the bonus effects.

So my suggestion is as follows:

• Change the Laurel Vendor’s infusions to be +5, no need to add any AR to them.

or

• Add +5 stat infusions without AR to the Guild Commendation vendor.

There is absolutely no reason that a single extra stat point should cost upwards of 200g in the Mystic Forge over buying it from the Laurel Vendor.
