Guild Wars 2

“Triple attribute – Items with the following affixes provide a bonus to 3 attributes:”
Prefix | Attributes (Main, Minor, Minor)
Berserker’s | Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Carrion | Condition Damage, Power, Vitality
Cleric’s | Healing Power, Power, Toughness
Explorer’s | Magic Find, Power, Precision
Knight’s | Toughness, Power, Precision
Magi | Healing Power, Precision, Vitality
Rabid | Condition Damage, Precision, Toughness
Rampager’s | Precision, Condition Damage, Power
Shaman’s | Condition Damage, Healing Power, Vitality
Soldier’s | Power, Toughness, Vitality
Traveler’s | Power, Condition Damage, Magic Find
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, Vitality

If we re-arrange them based on their main attribute we get:
Prefix | Attributes (Main, Minor, Minor)
Berserker’s | Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Soldier’s | Power, Toughness, Vitality
Traveler’s | Power, Condition Damage, Magic Find
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, Vitality

Carrion | Condition Damage, Power, Vitality
Rabid | Condition Damage, Precision, Toughness
Shaman’s | Condition Damage, Healing Power, Vitality

Cleric’s | Healing Power, Power, Toughness
Magi | Healing Power, Precision, Vitality

Explorer’s | Magic Find, Power, Precision

Knight’s | Toughness, Power, Precision

Rampager’s | Precision, Condition Damage, Power

Thus we can see that some “main attributes” have more “choices” than others:
Power = 4
Condition damage = 3
Healing Power = 2
Magic Find, Toughness, Precision = 1

Also, I discovered that not all are easily available in PvE and a huge grind is required for those stats combination. Why?

For example, Main: Power Minor: Toughness, Vitality exotic sets only exists in karma vendors in front of Arah Dungeon at 42k per piece, or in WvW at 396 Badges of Honor per piece. Why we cannot craft “Main: Power Minor: Toughness, Vitality exotic sets” ????

What if players wanted these attributes instead?
Attributes (Main – Minor, Minor)*
Precision – Power, Vitality
Precision – Power, Toughness
Condition Damage – Power, Precision
Vitality – Power, Toughness
Toughness – Power, Vitality
etc

They can’t because those stats combination do not exist! Why?

I totally agree!

I agree with this 100%

Power toughness vitality sets are both available from ascalonian and sorrows embrace token vendors. I’m wearing a full set of such gear.

Also power and condition damage are pretty much going to be the 2 main stats that people will want which is why they both have the higher numbers. I suppose condition damage could have a 4th condition one.

Healing power makes sense that it has few, I mean out of the 8 proffs don’t only ele’s guardians and engineers have worthwhile group heals?

Not the point he’s making, Swag. There are combinations that don’t exist.

But that’s how these things work, in wow there was never your perfect set with the stats you wanted, you had to gem them right and mix and match peices. I’m using 3x power tough vit and 3x power presc tough, I mixed them to get the right stat combo I want.

i would like an answer to this as well. I could understand if certain combinations would be broken, but not being able to craft all available combinations (400 armorsmith here) is a bit frustrating.

also, besides armor and weapons, i also heard that some sigils / runes cannot be crafted.

i.e.
superior sigil of leeching
superior runes of dolyak

why ?? ???
