Guild Wars 2

Why, on kitten’s green earth, isn’t there an ascended trinket for every stat? I have a few major issues with this…

1) Missing entire sets, in general. (To many to name)

-Back items: 5 sets.
-Accessories: 19 sets.
-Amulets: 14 sets.
-Rings: 15 sets

Examples:
-No Assassin rings / Assassin accessories available
-No Magi rings / Magi accessories available

I think we can all agree that all sets should be complete.

2) Sets missing pieces.
-Apothecary back missing offensive

How?

3) Mixing sets.
-Berserker / Valkyrie
-Dire / Rabid
-Rabid / Apothecary

I’m all for “build diversity”, but what is the logic behind adding, what I’m going to call, “mixed sets” before even finishing the basic sets? If all the sets that ANET wanted to implement were completed, and they had run out of ideas, fine. OR……..

Maybe a better solution would be to allow crafting of two rings, in a particular order to make major / minor, to create your custom “mixed ring”.
Ex. Ring of Red Death(Berserker)+Forgotten Band(Nomad)= Custom Ring (Berserker/Nomad). For those who want to take build diversity to the next level. Instead of adding a million more randomly named sets that fill up loot tables.

4) Back Items
It would be much easier to have all back items “Select Stat” since there are 5 named sets and 7 select stat back items.

5) Infusion slot
The point of having offensive/defensive/utility slots is pointless. Having trinkets just have a “slot” and the warning “You may not have duplicate trinkets” would be sufficient. I understand they don’t want people to stack, for instance, 6 +20% mf; but the whole concept is poorly designed. I would rename them “infusion”, make each stat abailable, and have AR on each, and rebalance the current utility from ~20% to 5% bonuses. Also, the WvW bonuses are completely out of place here.

Closing Remarks
I love the idea of adding new sets with the living story.
I love the collection rewards (Although they should be available normally, but have an alternative acquisition by collections).

I hope this will be fixed I honestly prefer utility slots on my amulets. not offensive or defensive….I also do not understand why they make a choice for offensive or defensive while most people just fit the +5 omni infusion from BUY from fractals anyways.

Given that fact making the infusion slot accessible to utility ifusions should have priority IMHO.

Accessories for some of these stat combinations are available from the dungeon collector achievements. For instance, here’s the assassin’s/offensive one, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zhaitan%27s_Claw.

These items should be so exclusive as to need to do hundreds of dungeons to have access to them. Not only that, but the cost of any of the trinkets is way too much. In order to have ascended on every class requires too many laurels. Obviously, this is the reason they made ascended account bound, but some people want a set for each character anyway. I’m looking forward to ascended jewel crafting as I don’t enjoy/have access to the content required for some of these, or am severely gated because I have to spend laurels on both ascended recipes and ascended trinkets both. Along with that, it requires as many laurels to get an entire set of armor as it does to get one of the cheapest ascended trinkets. That doesn’t make any sense.

I guess the main reason is because they pushed back Jelewer 500 from 2013 to 20??

Remember when they promised Carrion “for the next round of ascended gear stats?” That must be around 2 years ago by now! LOL.

Added type of trinket to list.

I agree w this, although I’d settle for just being able to salvage the dang things for mats instead >.<
