Hi – I’m a level 80 Ranger and want to craft some ascended armour to give me better ‘survivability’ in WvW. I understand that Rangers can, at best, wear medium armour. Of the different disciplines offered to do this I chose Armoursmith but am now confused because I’ve seen some info which suggests that Armoursmiths can only craft heavy armour. So guys can Armoursmiths do what I want? Cheers.

no Armorsmiths can’t do what you want for your ranger. the info you saw is correct that they can only craft heavy armor. only Leatherworkers can craft medium armor, which is what you need for crafting armor for your ranger.

You should probably have a look at this:

Also keep in mind that the different in survivability between exotic and ascended armor isn’t that much. Sure it does make some difference, but if you’re having survivability issues then crafting a set of ascended armor is probably not going to give you the solution you’re looking for (and it’s EXTREMELY expensive). Before you get your hopes up too much, you may want to simply try another set of exotic armor with a different stat combo (something with more defense and/or vitality).

Thanks for your responses guys. Having built up a fair amount of gold in my ‘travels’ I will probably go down the ‘Leatherworker’ route.
