Guild Wars 2

I have 2 full ascended characters, PS Warrior for FotM/raids and a DH for open world/HoT. I can make another character full ascended from the drops I’ve got (weapon and armor chests) and want him to be my raid character (sometimes there are already 2 warriors in the parties I join, sometimes I just want to change).

So, was wondering what’s more in demand and what’s funnier to play for you guys in raids, a Viper Reaper or a Power Herald? Would like some to hear some experiences before making up my mind.

Thanks

Ignoring what’s in demand, why would you need three full sets of ascended armor for a given weight class?

My mesmer and elementalist both use zerker / scholar for fractals, so they shamelessly share. My necromancer has her own set of vipers because she needs it.

Similarly, my thief and power scrapper share armor as well. For my fourth I’m thinking a starter set for heavy

If I decide to play with the herald I could use the same armor I have on the DH (zerker Scholar runes), Warrior is PS and has runes of Strength. Swapping armor kinda annoys me (I have parts transmuted to cultural armor that are non-compatible between them -female human DH and Charr male Rev- so it would be a pain or would have to change the look). I already have the full set (chests) and materials for a full ascended character, it’s only taking space in my bank and want to use them.

Pretty annoying to swap armors tbh. Maybe go for condi Necro, they are in quite a big demand lately both fotm and raids.

herald are generally used on all 9 bosses. Though generally only room for 1 pr. group.

Necro: again speaking generally, 2 for VG, 0 for gors, 1 for SAB, 2 for wing 2, 0-10 for Siege, 0 for KC and 0-2 for xera.

Seen some runs w/o herald and only chrono with modified armor to upkeep the quickness. Kill times were same or even faster than the ’’meta’’ comp

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I’m definitely going Necro to mix it up a bit and not getting stuck on heavy classes. Got some learning to do since it’s been a long time since I PvE with my Necro. Thanks again.
