Guild Wars 2

Im looking at the ascended accessories.

What would have more damage using the power precision ferocity OR the more precision power toughness?

If you get the full set, I notice you will loose about 10%ish in ferocity but you will gain 5 or so to crit, but the standard p/p/f will give you more power and ferocity…

so what set would be better for damage in the long run?

Berserker is always the best DPS option; especially in high level fractals because a lot of enemies abilities scale of % of total HP and ignore armor.

The problem with many ’zerker builds are glass cannons – hence why so many drop like flies when fighting world bosses.

The amount of DMG ’zerker has over other builds is not as great as it used to be.

To the OP, where will you be playing WvW or PvE? That will determine what you should get. In WvW, toughness and HP help survivability.

The gap is actually bigger because you cannot mix in zerker pieces for ’free" crit damage. At base, a zerker set deals about 50% more than a soldier or knight set. However, Zerker also scales up much better because you have all of the stats needed to benefit from marginal increases to crit chance or crit damage. A Soldier by comparison has high power, so he has some degree of base damage, but he will not benefit from fury or buffs like Banner of Discipline which increase crit chance, since he has no Ferocity so his crits are worthless.

^ Listen to Guang. He knows exactly what he’s talking about for PvE.

Do you have any evidence that the players dropping at world bosses are wearing berserker gear?

I have asked – all I need to know. My squishy Mesmer doesn’t drop like they do.
