Guild Wars 2

Well basically what the title said. I haven’t been playing GW2 as much as I used to up until recently. I don’t really know what builds are “meta” right now.

Anyway I got an ascended weapon box drop from some fractals with knights stats. Can I use it on any character or should I just swap to whatever works for me?

I would advise you to just swap the stats on it to whatever fits your current focus right now. As far as I know, Knight’s armor isn’t really made use of, seeing most, “Meta” builds are running things like, Berserkers/Marauders/Vipers/Dire ect. so you might as well see what you need, and change the weapon’s stats to that.

Hope this helped.

You probably should mention, what the OP likely doesn’t know: You can swap stats with the Anthology of Heroes, it’s pretty cheap. Check this out:

There is not really a class that uses knight stats specifically. However WvW players do tend to mix toughness and/or vitality in their gear set. Although this is usually a mixture of two or more kind of stats. And not a full set of of a single stat type.

That being said as @ProtoGunner said you can change stat on your ascended gear using the Mystic Forge

In terms of staying up to date with builds and all. You can check out Metabattle.com or qTfy.eu to see what is effective in what scenario. That being said. Unlike most people that just copy paste something. I would recommend you to dive into the class/build and see what it is capable of, and how you can make alternative changes on lets say depending on the encounter/group composition.
