Guild Wars 2

As the title states, which is better for armour/gear? i havent played since halloween event, so far from looking up the wiki, fractals only has rings..? not too sure whats going on

In terms of gear:
Fractals – ascended rings and backpieces, rng/grind.
CoF – berserker exotics of all kinds, some dungeon grind but easy dungeon.

Me and most other dungeon masters believe that full berserker equipment is a no-no for most dungeons (or rather: there are some that don’t punish you that hard), making the AC armor set the basis on which you can develop your build the way you want with weapons and jewelry.

thanks for the reply, im kinda new and never really done CoF or fractals thats why i wanted to ask which i should invest time on, you mentioned berserker, what does that specifically mean?

the stat combo for berserker’s gear is:

• Power (major)
• Precision (minor)
• Crit dmg % (minor)

you can see the rest of the combos here as well : )) scroll down to see the exotic stats.

so do make sure you are going for the stats that you want, find out where you can get ’em from and then go from there ; )) that link above should show them all.

CoF is a rather easy dungeon to do, namely path 1 as well and shouldn’t take TOO long to get a full set of gear. but it will take a bit of time : ))

re: fractals, i’m no expert here as i’ve been rather impartial towards this new gear type.. but so far, there are only rings and back pieces. however, ANet has mentioned that they will gradually add full ascended gear. they have infusion slots with you can upgrade to resist against Agony – a new condition that mobs in the Fractals of the Mists dungeons can apply when in higher levels. the overall stats are better on ascended as well, but not to the point where it could be “game-breaking”, or that players shouldn’t feel it’s “required” to progress. but we’ll keep an eye on the whole thing to see how it pans out ; ))
