Guild Wars 2

So thanks to the WvW Tournament reward tokens, I’ve just been able to pick up the accessories to finish my set of Beserker trinkets.

I still have some tokens left though, and have quite a few laurels. I was wondering what people’s opinions are on if there’s a good stat to start collecting a second set of trinkets.

I currently play a Ranger and a Guardian, both with Berserker (PvE) and Soldier (WvW) armor sets, (though thinking of moving to Knights’ for WvW) & Beserker weapons

I was wondering about Knight’s, Captain’s, or maybe Celestial in case I roll an Ele later on.

Any suggestions?

Join (or Guest to) a Guild and do Guild missions for commendations. Ascended Accessories cost 12 commendations and 5 gold (and you can earn 6 per week (per account) max).

Most Guilds do these on Sunday.

I’m aware I can get them through Guild commendations, but a rarely able to log on during the time my Guilds do them.

I’m wondering primarily about whether people think a particular Stat set of trinkets is worth investing in.

I think for most game modes and most professions the consensus is zerk trinkets and then tanky armor if the tankishness is needed, so you could also consider having a second set of zerk trinks and spare yourself switching it around between your characters.

Thanks, seems like it might be a good option for me, especially since I’m using Exotic armor at the moment, which is relatively easy to change. Not having to switch items around all the time would be good too.

I’ll just have to decide whether or not I care about getting ascended armor. If i were to make a set, would it work to go Berserker Armor and tanky trinkets for WvW? Then the armor could be used for both PvE and WvW.

I’m not a WvW regular but I know running full/mixed zerk is viable with some builds/professions and at the very least can be mixed with other stuff when you don’t need to be Uber Duper Tanky and/or have experience to survive off of. I think it might not be the ideal for frontliners but for more ranged attackers I believe it can be good (like necro well bombers for example).

You could also go with something like Cleric’s for some of the Ele or Guard options.

Also, if you’re on NA, the guild I’m in runs guild missions on Fridays at 8:30 pm PST (I think that’s also server time?), in addition to Sundays at 11:30 am PST with another guild. So there’s another possibility. We don’t have a problem taking people in on those either.

My top 3:

Berserker, which you have. I see knights used when someone is planning to eventually graduate to zerker; I don’t think it’s worth buying knight’s trinkets.

Soldier (PTV)- Good to have around if you need to put a character on a learning curve for wvw zerging, or just want some tankiness.

Some kind of condi (power, prec, condi or prec, tough, condi)- most generally don’t use condi builds in PVE/dungeons, so these are useful if you plan on playing a condi build for roaming in wvw.

You can also guest to another guild and join in for their missions. Alternatively a set of celestial may come in handy for an engy or some other odd builds with other classes you may want to use (like the mentioned ele).

Or just sit on them until you feel a need to spend, supposedly they won’t expire.
