Ok so i want to use this build and get the stats similair to what is shown on the build editor, now this build editor only accounts for RUNES on armor i beleive, as i can’t choose armor selction anywere, so i believe it doesn’t take into account armor stats (like beserkers / knights) and only the runes

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQNAsdWlYgyC33xLEfIFSWhC06BAdQ+DmCMC+uKQRA;TABg0ytEeJ1StlyJKcM4IwxijDHJOrCGFsLYWA

(sometimes i change the skills around for all shouts, or switch WoR out of a shout)

Build notes: i want one set of stats (in this case eagle runes) to be offensive as this build is focused on crits to gain might, and damage, but since i will be in melee range in wvw/pvp/pvp a lot i WILL need to be tanky, guardian skills allow me to stack dmg modifiers and armor modifers and still be the most tankiest

Anyways, so for the build i choose i selected eagle runes in the builder program, i read that it may be cheaper to get armor with those stats and go defensive on the runes itself and use somthing like beserkers or perhaps power/vit/tough.

Anyways is their anyway to get similiar stats here with cheaper item combinations? is the question, any combo will work as long as i get high crit and high dmg with added toughness (or maybe vit) or perhaps toughness and vit.

edit: originally i was going to go knights armor then go eagle runes but thats getting expensive and also afaik to get knights from doing dungeons i would have to run S.F which NO ONE ever runs to my knowledge, i could try crafting, id be starting from lvl 0 armoring but if its cheaper i would be down.

I would farm the materials to make the armor and either A) sell it on the TP and then buy the armor or mail it to a crafter and have them make it.

Both have their risks: first is you need to farm a little bit more b/c of the 15% tax and the second there is a chance that you could get scammed.

Well you said you wanted Knights armor… there is only 1 set of craft-able knights armor, the Knights Draconic.

If you’re looking for affordable armor then I recommend farming a dungeon and getting the exotic with dungeon tokens. Just go to the vendors in LA and look through the gear to see which dungeon you need to farm. I don’t remember what stats Knights gear give off the top of my head so you’ll have to check yourself.

Worry about the gear before the runes. In the process of dungeon running you earn alot of coin so by the time you have a full set you might earn enough to buy the runes you need without having to bankrupt yourself.
