Guild Wars 2

Hey,

Been looking through the dungeon gear just to see what i want when i hit 80, pretty fixated on the Arah stuff but when i look through posts about gear, and through the screenshots of peoples characters, i RARELY see Arah gear.

I might be being naive here, but is this dungeon the most difficult to run, or is there better armour out there?

cheers

Some people love it, some people hate it. Personally I love it on all armors and have a full set on my silvary necro, it is the most difficult to do and often the longest depending on the team.

It is definitely the most difficult dungeon in the game (opinion) and that is probably why you almost never see anyone with it. I want full Arah on my guardian and once you run it a couple times the difficulty drops as you get to know the encounters. I think that along with being one of the hardest it is also the most fun.

Regarding the question about there being better armor out there, all exotics have the same defense stats, so the Arah armor isn’t better than any other. All armor pieces of the same rarity have the same defense stats. There are different stat combinations, such as berserker’s (power, precision, critical damage) and knight’s (power, precision, toughness) but you can get these from any dungeon because all berserker exotics will have the same stats, all knight’s exotics will have the same stats, etc.

thanks for clearing it up, i think ill go for pow/prec/condmg gear if there is such a thing when i hit 80!

Caudecus’s Manor, Twilight Arbor, Citadel of Flame, and Crucible of Eternity all have those stat combinations.

It take a lot longer to do a run of Arah compared to others. Dont forget also that for a significant amount of time Araha isnt open either and that point had been contested so that is another issue as well.
