Guild Wars 2

So, I haven’t been much into fractals, despite being heavily into dungeons and I had a few questions about them as I start my fractal journey/grind.
Here are my questions:
Is Zerker king in fractals?
Is there anything I should do to change my build or otherwise transition from dungeons to fractals other than getting some AR?
Are there any good fractal guides around?

Thanks in advance!

http://gw2dungeons.net/ is your answer

Berserker is the optimal gear to go in thoses aswell (if you’re looking for fast runs).

Also, to learn in a fun and good way, try too join [Noob] mentor guild aswell.

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into the guides and at [Noob]

Look up [KING]‘s fractal guides on youtube, they offer some nice tips. gw2dungeons.com is excellent. A couple pages back you’ll find a thread where someone made a guide for their guild (edit — here’s the link to that thread. Bring some taters, it gets salty!)

I’d recommend looking at all of them to get a good feel for what’s going on.

+1 for [NOOB] — I’ve been running with some of their mentors in the last few weeks and it’s a kittening good time

I just looked at it. Wow.

Berserker is always going to be optimal with the exception of a few classes unless the enemy in question cannot be crit (structure/world bosses).

The thing is this doesn’t mean you are required to use it. You’re free to use whatever you want and if you can’t comfortably play with no passive defenses then don’t do it. Just be respectful of the wishes of others when you check the LFG please.

Well if they change condition to make them good in PvE we could have Zerker/Assassins/Sinister/Rampager that could all be optimal in their own situation.

If they wanted conditions to be good in PvE they wouldn’t have nerfed might. :P

Nah but the reality is that when you’re alone conditions are fine provided you have time to build them up. In group play they aren’t.

I don’t see this as much of a problem because it’s my opinion that they should be niche and if they right now were good/optimal to bring in groups then they’d be king in all 3 gamemodes.

Ideally I would see condition as the best total dps, but with a build up time. Direct damage would be better in short fight, while condition would be better in longer fight. In low level dungeon like AC this wouldn’t change a thing because all mobs die super quick there, but in higher dungeon there is several bosses that don’t die in 30sec (unless you are doing a record run). Dungeon with a lot of trash mobs, direct dmg would be optimal, while in dungeon with a lot of boss, condition damage would be ideal. But that’s just how I see it. It will probably never work like this.
