Q:
Maruaders gear on my guardian?
It works, though not optimal DPS-Wise, but close to it. The extra precision is very welcome as Guards dont have that much Prec/Crit chance increase from traits. The extra HP is kind of significant too due to the low initial HP pool.
As for cheapest way… do you need Exotic or Ascended? Either way for armor and weapon you have to craft it. Exotic Marauders are actually cheaper than Exo berserkers at the moment. So is the ascended version.
For accessories, exo version needs to be crafted, while for ascended version, you can get the ring and backpack from the Blood Ruby vendor in Bloodstone Fen, amulet from HoT story achievements.
Any recommendations what I can do in the meantime? Dungeon gear or something?
