Guild Wars 2

Just out of curiosity:

How many people have crafted the +5 stat, +5 AR infusions?

Personally I find the stat gain/cost to not be worth it. I would rather save the mats for my next legendary.
The only situation I think anyone would craft these is if they only have 1 character, are never going to make another character, have too much money and 2+ legendaries.

Not worth the extra +5 for each stat point. When it costs 60g for 5 stat points it becomes irrelevant.

Too costly for my blood. The only upgrade I did was to the Sclerite back piece exotic—>ascended.

and of course I just buy the +5 agony resist with fractal tokens

I wonder if anet has any stats on this.
Would +10 stat points make it worthwhile? +15? I’m not sure.

Not worth it to me, yet. Mainly because anything having to do with t6 mats just isn’t worth it. For the amount of time it takes to get stacks of the stuff anyways.

a +5 is useless unless you can craft it with just 5 of the t6 mats you need, plus karka shells and passiflora.

You can argue “oh well 5 stat points alone may be worthless but when all your accessories have them they add up”.

Well if you put one in each piece it’s 30 stat points all together.
But at a huge cost for each 5 stat points, the 30 all together is really not worth it.

Even if the cost wasn’t very high, 30 stat points is still one way or another not something to be amazed at.

It’ll give you +300HP if in Vit. Like 1 or 2% critical chance if Prec, etc.

WvW is the best way to get the +5 stat but no AR on it.

I crafted 3 for all of my infused equipment (Backpiece and rings). I see no difference to be honest, I just like having BiS equips.

I’ve crafted them, but only for precision. If they can put me over the threshold for an extra 1-2% crit chance, they’ve served their purpose.

Unless ArenaNet introduces higher tiers of infusions that add more than just 5 stat points each while decreasing the costs to create the current ones, these are completely and utterly pointless. They’re a massive gold sink for a negligible improvement in your stats. You’re better off just going with the Versatile Simple Infusions if you want agony resistance.

I recommend playing with a build calculator to see just how much of a benefit (or lack thereof) you’d get from +30 stat points.

aye, just spend some badges for some +5 (no AR). and +30 over 6 trinkets.

my WvW character and fractal character are different anyway.

Anet should just change ascended equipment to be able to remove the infusion slot and put there in Runes/Jewels …

This thing is stupidly overpriced for a +5 stat which may or may not increase X stat by 1% lmao. I crafted one and its the last i will every craft. Anet wasn’t thinking straight when some of these infusions cost over 30g for ********* +5 precision while our ascended materials do nothing else but collected dust in our storage. You would’ve thought in 10 months they’d change the stupid T6 mats for ascended mats but nooo, they’re way to slow for this kind of stuff so lets wait another 2 years before this thing is noticed by them

I made three of them, working on two more.

It’s a nice optional bonus that’s actually doing something useful, unlike legendaries.

if you equip them on none infused ascended stuff and then anet let us infuse earrings/amulets you’ll lose them and all dat money went to toilet, mystic toilet
