Guild Wars 2

So now that the Mystic Forge recipes are starting to be found, there’s Infusions that have +5 to a stat.

What if, in the next Ascended gear release, they add more Infusions with higher stat boosts?

The whole argument in favor of Ascended/Infused gear was that the grind was solely for FotM.

Now we’re finding out that Ascended gear has higher stats than Exotics AND infusions can have stat boosts (other than the agony resistance).

there will be better infusions, they already said so.
They are only blue currently. Expect it to go all the way up to exotic/ascended.

In that case, the cost for a “blue” infusion is already kind of absurd.

100 or 250 of a crafting material only found in the Southsun Cove.
250 or 100 of a T6 crafting material.
20 or 50 mystic coins.
1 or 2 eldritch scrolls.

(the 1st number is for an offensive/defensive infusion and 2nd for “versatile”)

I guess Ascended infusions will require 250 ecto, 250 mystic coins, 5 eldritch scrolls, and 250 of some not-yet-released crafting material.

I agree the costs are absurd for the miniscule bonus they give.
