Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Apologies if this has been asked many times before, but I can’t think which forum to scour and the search didn’t shed much light.

Does anyone know why there are two separate sets of stats on ascended gear, one green and one white?

I thought the white stats might kick in once you slotted an infusion, but i stuck a simple versatile infusion in one of my rings and don’t think I saw any increase to my stats.

the green stats are just showing that that part is better than what you currently have on

the reason there are like 2 power stats on there is because they have an in-built jewel on them and it’s just showing those parts separately like your exotics would but it’s moved them together into the same list. which could be a bit confusing by making it look better than it is.

It works this way with any item. Green stats are better than what you have in that slot at the moment, white are the same and red are worse.

But bear in mind that doesn’t necessarily mean any item with green text is better than what you’ve got on, because it only compares the numbers for each individual stat. If you’ve got an amulet which doesn’t have a Toughness bonus any amulet which does will show the toughness stat in green, meaning it’s higher than what you’ve got now. But unless you want higher toughness that amulet could actually be worse for you because you’ll be losing out on a stat you do want.
