Guild Wars 2

What’s the best type of gear for low level dungeons like AC? I noticed that critical damage is down scaled quite drastically (no access to the game right now, but I think ~40% critical damage downscales to ~5%).

Could it be that the downscaling algorithm makes it so that you get more out of putting stats into non-traditional (power/prec/crit dmg) stat lines?

For example, upscaling in WvW of very low level toons can be “abused” so that they end up with huge amounts of certain stats. Is there a similar situation in downscaling where certain stats are downscaled “less” than other stats? Does anyone know the downscaling algorithm?

Go to different areas where you are downscaled and note the new stats. Then do an analysis.

Unfortunately, the google doc link is no longer valid. The other link spits the data out in a pretty much unreadable format unless you sign up for that website.

All the vets goes for zerk.
