Guild Wars 2

Hi Everyone,

First time posting on the forum so sorry if this is in the wrong place but I can’t seem to find an answer I’m looking for.

I have a full Zojja’s set because I’ve been running a lot of fractals and I’ve nearly got the back piece precurser. However what I enjoy most is playing wvwvw and I’ve been using soldiers in there. I’ve just got everything ready to craft a Wanderer set I was going to use with durability runes. Then I though maybe because I’ll be finished with fractals soon I could just convert my Zojja’s to Ruka’s.

Any thoughts on this? Has anyone done this and thought it was worth it? I can’t really afford a second set of ascended so it has to be one or the other.

Thanks in advance

Hey Jethro, I myself run a lot of fractals and gotten ascended armours and weapons which have the wrong stats.
To change stats for ascended armour:
-Anthology of heroes (getting it from Miyani in Lions Arch)
-5 globs of ectos
-Gossamer Insiginia with stats you want (e.g beserker’s gossamer Insignia)
-The ascended armour piece

For weapons:
-Anthology of heroes (getting it from Miyani in Lions Arch)
-5 globs of ectos
-Orichalcum Imbued Inscription with stats you want (e.g beserker’s Orichalcum Imbued Inscription)
-The ascended weapon

Those are the things you need for weapons and armour, you simply pop them into the mystic forge and the stats change

I suggest if you have weaponsmith and armoursmithing at lvl 400 you craft the inscriptions rather than buy them but up to you

I should mention I have looked up many calculations and have deliberated over this for a while, I know the difference in gear stat-wise is minimal.. But having concentration may help and why not go for the best if I have the option. That is my thought but I would like some opinions and advice before I go ahead with the changes..

Thanks again

Hi grimster,

Yes I’m aware of all of that, and I have everything ready. Just wanted to know if it was worth it. I have the Zojja’s but am considering changing to Ruka’s, as it’s my wvw build and I spend most of my time there now.

Thanks for your reply

Change the stats depending on your class and playstyle, If you like to go ham and smash people in 1v1s go Zojjas but if you feel you need that extra bit of survivability go for Ruka’s. Also if you are playing a condi class focused more on condition damage then go with Ruka’s, but if its like revenant, warr, guard just use Zojja’s

Sorry I should have been more specific in my original post.

I have Zojja’s for fractals.
I have exotic Soldier’s for wvwvw.

I was just about to craft exotic Wanderer’s, when I thought maybe it would be worth just changing Zojja’s to Ruka’s (berserker, to wanderer spec).

I’ve really toned down my fractal running so I don’t mind doing it in a Ruka’s setup (because I’ll have to use it to slot my AR).

Is this worth it? Should I keep the bererker stats for fractals and just be content with exotic wanderer’s in wvw instead of Ruka’s? I know the stat gain is minimal. But was just looking for adice from someone who might be using it and thinks it is worthwhile.

Thanls

This in on a guardian I plan to use for large scale zerg frontline, shout’s and AH. For roaming I don’t use the Guard

Oh right i get you now haha sorry about that Jethro, I suggest to just keep beserker’s because running exotic in WvW really doesn’t matter that much. Its all up to you but my opinion would be keeping Zojja’s

Ok, that’s ok!

Thanks for your help, I’ll hold onto it for now.
