Guild Wars 2

Hi all

I was thinking of pickingup an ascended ring next month when I get enough laurels, but then I had a thought, A-Net will likely release a new tier of gear before too long and with all the currencies we currently have chances are they will require the same.

So would it be a good idea to hold off and save more and wait for the next tier?

Take in mind I dont doalot of pvp and havnt even entered fractals yet.

Always best to hold off and see what is coming next.

You wouldn’t want to invest a bunch of time in game (playing, running encounters, having fun) just to have to do it again later when new gear is introduced.

I pretty much intend just to sit back until “Final Expansion” is the word and grind out one set of gear then – should assist with making sure I don’t waste time I could be having fun.

I would advise against buying an ascended ring with laurels. For five more laurels and 40 globs of ectoplasm you can get an accessory. Do 10 daily fotm for your ring

Yeah makes sense, but my question is, is it sensible buying these now when the next tier wont be too far away?

I dont do any activities that require these at the moment so would it be wise to hold off and save?

ANET have already stated that ‘Ascended’ items were meant to be the top tier from launch but were not introduced until recently for whatever reason. They have also stated that they will create a very ‘slow’ treadmill by increasing the stats of INFUSIONS.

In other words the current ascended items will remain best in slot. Its the infusions that you put inside of them that will increase in strength. Buy the ascended items now, dont wait.

No they wont be releasing another tier, not for at least 2 years anyways.

Anyone who uses Laurels to buy rings is insane! ( use the laurels for bracelet or earnings only. I have 10 rings sitting in my bank… my alts have all the rings i want.. i got them all from doing FOTM level 10-20 daily and they are pretty easy to do! and cost zero laurels.. i get them FREE.. and if i dont get them i still get a token that when i save 10 of them i can just buy a ring with Fractel relic tokens

If you want to save your laurels they maybe releasing a set or ARMORE and Weapons that require laurels. but who knows when they will be released.

Maybe in the juicy update later this month?

And why a big rush to buy now? I dont do fracals or pvp…
