Guild Wars 2

So I was thinking last night, what if they change the required AR rating to the level of the Fractal. So at lvl 100 you would need 100 AR. Currently that would mean full Ascended gear (with +5 infusions in each) and an infused backpiece and rings, each with +10 Agony infusions.

That would mean you need to grind your fractal mastery to unlock +20, +30, and etc. agony infusions for higher levels.

Ascended armour = 30
Weapons = 10
Trinkets = 30
Only need 10 more from the infused agony slots between 3 pieces, getting 100 without fractal masteries would be pretty simple.

I doudt it will be 100 AR. If they keep the current table (need 15 additional AR for each new tier of Agony), this mean that we gonna need 130 AR for level 99 and 145 AR for level 100

They’re not gonna keep it like now, don’t worry. They can either change it, or make acct-bound ar through masteries. They’re too lazy to rework the ar again, so I bet it’s the latter.

Agree. I do not believe that level 100 would require 100 AR either. Higher Agony Infusion will require completing the mastery. As a matter of fact, someone linked me a datamined link for +30 agony infusion not so long ago. It seemed dubious but there are certainly something in plans.

100 AR only takes you to level 70.

On the current scale, ya, but the OP was suggesting a change, I assumed your response was to his suggested change rather than the current scaling.

And +30 agony infusions already exist, they just cost too much gold to ever be able to craft, the highest(crafted) is like +17 and it cost nearly 1000g for the reagents.

It’d be hilarious if I were proven wrong and we were expected to craft +15 infusions.. or +20.
With the current +1. Ahaha.

If you noticed they already have AR mastery system in place in the beta. So what that means exactly, I dont know , but could it replace the infusions system? or add a bonus to what you already have?

Whatever the new system is, they kind botched the current AR system. It just don’t upgrade that easily. People will need to sacrifice or pay to keep their current AR and upgrade it. It look like the problem we get when there is a new tier of gear in other game.

Hopefully, all new AR will come from the mastery and we won’t lose anything, but then the craftable AR is a wasted system.
