So I my character is completely geared in exotics, so pretty much done w/ stats minus ascended gear. I have some laurels saved up which got me thinking… Should I be buying ascended items w/ offensive/defensive slots or utility? The magic find would be nice for day to day stuff, but the other is needed if I want to do fractals. My question to you guys is which do you think I should get first?
You should get amulets with your Laurels first since that is the only way right now to obtain them. You can get accessories with guild commendations and rings from FoTM pristine relics. It’s recommended to get the utility infusion for the amulet because you can infuse it with more options such as the 20% more gold or more Magic find.
For rings and accessories offensive/defensive do not really matter in many peoples opinion. It’s honestly better right now to just pick whichever one you want and infuse it with +5 AR from the fotm vendor for 75 relics. Utility infusions are the best in my opinion though.
You’re basically choosing between 20% more gold/magic find vs 4/5 in a stat.
Seems like a no brainer to me. You only need agony resist for level 20+ fractals. Level 1-9 don’t have any agony damage, and level 10-19 can be done easily without agony resist (and you’ll get AR from rings anyway).
There’s no reason to not have AR though since it’s so easy to get for early fractals. The backpieces from the southsun event is 5 AR right there making 10-19 easy.
What backpiece from the Southsun Event grants 5AR?
Both of the back-pieces you receive from the achievements (Fervid Censer & Sclerite Karka Shell) have defensive infusion slots, allowing you to apply +5 Agony Resist to either of them.

Sorry on having to correct you, but, NEITHER the Fervid Censer(Rare) or
the Sclerite Karka Shell(Exotic) has any AR on them only the ability to be upgraded(at a heafty price).

I’m sorry to correct you but, both have defensive infusion slots, which you can put +5 agony resist onto off the bat.
