Guild Wars 2

Why do dungeon armor sets have only 3 versions with different stats ? I just realized there’s no variation among sets from TA/CM that would suit me, although I really like the looks. Am I supposed to throw extra money on exotics on TP just to transmog them ?

As a mix of support/tanky warrior I’m wearing set with +Toughness +Precision +Power, neither CM nor TA sets offer me that combo, leaving me with +Healing Power or +Condition Dmg which isn’t that useful for me (tried to run explorables in armor with these stats combos that TA/CM sets offer and it was worse compared to running in my “basic” set).

This kind of makes running these dungeons pointless for me and these are supposed to be part of my endgame plus I cant see any clear reasoning behind not making dungeon armor offer every stats variations that other armors have

You need to transmog them. Exotics from the dungeons are mainly meant for the looks.

Then people whom suit these stats are in significant financial advantage over me as exotics set is around 15-20g on TP depending on its stats combo..

do the other dungeons.2 or 3 of the dungeons have the same stats while the others have different stats

We shouldn’t have to transmute our dungeon gear in order to get the stats we want, I agree with the OP.

I’ve heard there is a problem with the AC weapon skins when transmuted they might stop glowing at night.

Of course its more advantageous to AreanNet in terms of Gem sales if we do need to purchase fine transmutation stones.

As most people say, dungeon gear is “mainly” for look. There’s likely another alternate way to get the equipment you want. However, try looking at the other dungeon gear, as the stats vary depending on the vendor. And if you’ve gotten a little bit lucky at all, you should have fine transmutation stones from Black Lion Chests as you leveled/story keys.

I say mainly in quotes, because the light armor I wanted was precision, toughness, condition damage. To my knowledge, that was either Karma bought, random loot (AKA ~7-10g per piece), or dungeon gear. At that point, it was the one that was the least amount of boring farming needed, which was dungeons.

Yea there are vendors with stats I want, but I do not look forward to farming these other dungeons neither I like their looks on my charr.

I was actually hoping they sold Dungeon gear and weapons as skin mobs like the HoM equipments. Most people in the game has the feeling of not getting gears that are lower levels than their character but that just the old feeling people have from old MMOs.

A plausible alternative would be to make the dungeon armors be a bit like how the HoM armors are, which is just a skin you apply on something else.

I don’t see a problem with armor sets have only 3 versions with different stats.
