Guild Wars 2

Nobody seems to know the answer, but what is the average % stat increase ascended weapons have over an exotic with the same kind of stats?

Thanks.

Warzaw.2708:

5% base damage I believe, assuming that’s what your asking.

So an ascended berserker greatsword is only 5% more damaging than an exotic berserker greatsword?

I believe so, yeah. I thought I got the wrong answer down initially.

Hmm…I thought that I read somewhere that it is a 10% increase rather than 5%. Maybe I was wrong.

Thanks anyway.

I asked this same question and got an answer…not sure how accurate it is, but there you go:

IMO, it makes sense to hold onto your mats until ascended armor is released since that would make more of a difference. More bang for your buck.

Exotics will be fine for me for everything I do.

Thats for one off hand weapon. 2H weapons get a second sigil as well.

still a pretty small bump for all the fuss.

If its 10% its very significant. And it scales with crit damage.

The stat increase overall is supposedly something around 13%, but for weapons alone I believe it’s around 5%

You are forgetting about weapon strength.

I assumed stat% was referring explicitly to things like vitality and Toughness and precision, not the 1055-1265 or w/e.

Feel free to add that though.
