How do you gear up?
I think you shouldn’t be too single minded with your stats. Also going into the heart of the mist an tinker with the PvP gear there (and maybe even test it in fights) lets get you some perspective on how useful what might be to you.
You’ll want to focus on at least TWO primary stats. Three and four are also acceptable. I aim for 5. I like focusing my armor and traits into two stats, and then my accessories into the other two stats. I lean heavy into power/crit/and crit damage. Then I lean less heavily, but still moderately, into healing power and vitality. I’ve been told numerous times in SPvP I’m immortal. Which isn’t true of course. 3v1 is pushing my limits if playing against equally skilled players. But I can go 8v1 against a group of mediocre players and walk out alive.
Important to note, stats should compliment your playstyle. Your skill, not the stats, dictates how well it will work though.
