Guild Wars 2

Hi Folks, not that long since I dipped my toes in Fractals for the first time. I’m a veteran PVE player and a non-crafter, as I don’t want to craft in a game again, ever. Does this mean I am restricted to low level fractals as it looks to me that the infusions require some sort of crafting skill to get a decent amount of agony resistance? If so I guess my fractal career is over. Thanks for any info on this matter!

You do not need to craft agony infusions in FOTM there is a vendor that exchanges them for an upgraded version if you have the fractal mastery for it, you can also buy higher agony infusions from the tp

Cheers Chum! so what do you guys normally do, keep a selection of infused jewelery in the bank and change them out when you go to L.A. to do fractals? or do you keep one character already kitted out for fractals alone? (whats the tp at the end of your post?)

Just keep the agony infusions on at all times on all characters. The only time you wouldnt do that is if you spent thousands of gold on stat infusions. But most people dont do that. So getting agony for most classes is not a problem.

It’s definitely possible to have characters fully kited for both fractals and out of fractals at the same time – it will just cost significantly more (+5 stat +5 agony infusions in every offensive/defensive slots will cost you 28 agony resistance compared to +7 ar versatiles, but that can be offset by using stronger agony infusions in infused/attuned slots (you’d need to reach 80 points through those slots – so + 16 ar each, compared to 52 points for fractal-specced sets – 3x10, 2x+11). If you’re not running versatile stat infusions in defensive slots, it will be cheaper (as there’s no real point to use stat defensive infusions. You can safely exchange those for +7 ar ones). That would give you 16 ar points more, for 4x12 ar, 1x+11 ar infusions setup.
