Guild Wars 2

Okay, hi everybody!

At the moment, we have the following sources of Agony Resistance:
14 infusion slots for offensive / defensive infusions
5 extra agony infusion slots at rings and back

Besides those, you can get 5 AR through mistlock singularities and 10 AR through this potion you can buy in FotM.

Let’s assume you “only” use +10 infusions for the agony infusion slots, since 11 or 12 or even more isn’t really worth it. -> 50AR.
The 14 others give +5 each or +7 each if you upgrade the normal ones -> 70 or 98.

That’s leading to the problem I have at the moment: You can’t reach 150 AR if you’ve used the +5 infusions in the offensive/defensive slots.
I’ve paid tons of money for T6 mats to get those infusions that give a stat bonus ( plus 5 toughness, power, …) besides the +5AR, but I can’t exchange those. I can only exchange the “normal” +5 AR infusions, ergo “my” infusions are practically useless now.

Maybe it would be fair to add a few options to the merchant, so that those more expensive infusions get a +7 counterpart, too. Otherwise my max AR will be 135, even if I’m constantly using that potion.
Any opinions?

Maybe this will be included in the fractal patch, but for now the only option would be to spend even more money to get the last 15 AR through the +X infusions, so maybe one +18 and a +17 instead of two of the +10.
Considering the price it would be cheaper to get a new asc armor just to get around this^^
I would recommend to wait, this seems like something ANet has not considered, or ignored, so maybe this will be fixed.

Don’t forget the potion doesn’t work if you have any other AR bonus. Last time I checked at least.

Thanathos.2063:

Besides those, you can get 5 AR through mistlock singularities and 10 AR through this potion you can buy in FotM.

Actually, the potion doesn’t work like that. It doesn’t stack on top of your current AR. It boosts you to 10 AR if your AR is less than 10. Took my a couple hours of using it before I realized that.

As for the main issue, I completely agree, they should give us someway to upgrade our expensive infusions to +7.

Now, I was lucky, I had only created 2 when these changes came about, which actually leaves me in a nearly perfect situation:
5 x +10 infusions = 50 AR
12 x +7 infusions = 84 AR
2 x +5 infusions = 10 AR
Mistlock Singularity = 5 AR
——————————————————-
149 AR

Which is pretty dang close for me. But even still, for those that have created even more of those expensive infusions, there should DEFINITELY be a way to upgrade them.

A +18 infusion costs nearly 5000 gold, so nope.
I guess I’ll hope for that fractal fix…

On a side note: Make vials / globs / shards of coagulated mists essence drop somewhere else – maybe from salvaged ascended rings or from fractal encryptions. Those are a pain in the a* for low-lucker like me.

edit: thanks Hekela, didn’t know that (I’m not even near lv 100 yet)… kinda strange though.
