Guild Wars 2

Hey there guys, working on both my condition Ranger and condition Revenant; I don’t play too often so I’m poor (24 gold) and all my crafting save cooking is at 0s.

I’ve heard even getting Viper/Sinister on Exotic is a daunting task, requiring you to play the HoT story multiple times in order to get a full set and farming the rest on LS3, which means I’ll only be able to get ONE full set (currently I only have a piece of medium armor), but I’d really like to gear up both of them

Any ideas on how to get this?

According to https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats Sinister is crafting only, and Viper is crafting and Story Reward.
The Story Reward way of getting Vipers is late in HoT, each character can choose a box with one piece of Viper, Trailblazer or some other IIRC.

The LS3 maps allow you to pretty quickly get Ascended Rings, Accessories, Backpack, and Amulet in the stats you want.

For the armor, you’re better off going right for the Ascended as well, since the Exotic is pretty darn expensive to craft. Make/buy yourself a cheap alternative Exotic set and work towards the Ascended version of the Viper/Sinister gear you ultimately want.

I’m quite ignorant on this however. Since my characters are conditions, what is the best condition alternative for them, while I find a way to get the ascended?

And by the way, what is the best way to get ascended armors? I’ve been playing for 2 years and I haven’t been able to get enough agony for T4 fractals and I must have the worst luck ever, as 1 year of daily Teqs never got me a single ascended drop…

For Exotic armor, you’re going to want a mix of Rampager, Rabid, and Carrion, depending on how much survivability you need. Your best bet is to use the Trading Post filter for condition damage in the armor category to find the named sets since those will be much cheaper to buy than the ones that are actually named “Rampager”, etc.

Crafting is one guaranteed way to get Ascended armor. Other than that, just keep doing Fractals every day. You get boxes of Ascended armor/weapons which you can restat to the kind you want, as well as currency that can be used to buy Ascended gear from the fractal vendors. You don’t have to do T4, but try to get as many of the fractal dailies done each day that you can.

Currently running full Carrion on my Condition Revenant, how should I combine the armor?

Rampager is a full DPS set, so start swapping out some Carrion for Rampager one piece at a time until you hit the sweet spot for you where your health and damage are good.

You can get exotic rampager armor from one of the karma merchants in Orr. The information on which one and where they can be found is in the wiki.
