Guild Wars 2

Now that the zerk gear is having much controversy atm, it ponders me what gear the classes should have now.

For now, my warrior and mesmer is wearing full zerk atm, but now dat Crit is changing to Ferocity, would it be better off going to a more survivable build using Soldier’s instead of Berserker gear?

Please post your thoughts accordingly and thanks!

I believe that with the information we were given, berserker is still the way to go. The gear sets that are deeply affected are Assassins and Celestial.

Nothing has changed, apart from have a 10% or so decrease for berserker gear. So the end goal is still the same, kill bosses as quick as possible for maximum reward vs risk.

I always thought the goal was to get “fastest/most efficient reward in the complete absence of risk” .

Hey now, dividing by zero is infinity, that is the maximum ratio.

Well since the content is not changing only the gear I see no reason for you to switch to anything else.

You can still completely avoid 99.9% of damage and just stack on top of each other to avoid the other 0.1%. Since there is no risk and no roles to fill you will still want to do the maximum amount of DPS possible, for which zerker will still be the best.

Use soldier trinkets instead of zerker. Zerker trinkets are getting a double nerf.

Actually dividing by zero is not infinity. It’s “undefined”.

……. Because it’s infinity.

Come on now.

Pic: 1/x, as x approaches 0 values go to infinity.

If we truly get a 10% decrease in zerker damage, then zerker is still the way to go. Fights will be a bit longer and thus you may have to learn boss mechanics a bit better, but zerker is still by far the best gear.
