Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I love the fact ascended weapons are being introduced, but I’m a little worried about how much damage fully ascended characters will be doing to other players. If ascended armor was released I wouldn’t worry too much, because then we’d have higher total armor values from gearing up in full ascended armor. That’s my only concern right now, but thanks ArenaNet for finally updating legendaries and releasing ascended weapons!!! I am one happy customer

From what we’ve been able to see both in game (with the current ascended gear) and in the dev video, ascended gear seem to have about slightly over 10% higher stats in average when compared with equivalent exotics, so if that’s the case, that’s how much more damage (or healing, or whatever, depending on build and gear used) you’d expect a fully ascended character when compared to an equivalent geared exotic character.

It’s basically about the same as an Exotic geared player having an extra item, +/-

That is a lot… Rares to Exotics is 1000 plus damage Ascended will double or triple that…
