Guild Wars 2

So I have been wondering over the past day how to reach fractal 100 without the expansion AR help. Right now I can only reach 65 as I only have 85 AR. I’d be willing to spend 150g to upgrade my rings and back piece to plus 10 infusions which would give me 100AR leading to 70. Now I’m at a lost as to how to get more AR? Another question I have is can I remove the infusions without HoT? I know HoT buyers have an item to remove infusions but I’m not sure where I can find one if I don’t have HoT. If I could find that item I could infuse the plus 10 infusions and upgrade them whoever I have enough plus 1 infusions. Just looking for other options, any ideas? I really like the fractals now but it seems to me that I’m unable to continue. If that is truly the case than sadly I wouldn’t be able to play anymore.

I think the upgrade extractor works on infusions too.
Also there’s no way you can get close to 150 it seems; the max I come up with is 115 (30 from your armor, 10 from weapons, another 30 from simple infusions for your trinkets and 45 if you go all in and craft +15 agony infusions for rings + back), not sure if I’m missing something there. Crafting three +15 agony infusions though… well.
However, the only fractals you really are not able to run are boss ones; and even then your party could pick you up after you died to agony. The downside is though that you’ll have to dodge all agony inducing attacks or you’re kittened, simply put. That means you’re going to need a static team that doesn’t mind it because pugs will surely kick you on sight once they see this happen
