Need some advice on this please
Besides the looks.
If you like fractals, get the gear
If you don’t like fractals don’t bother.
The amount of effort (as you are seeing) is a lot, the reward outside fractals is a little over 5% increase on armor and stats. so the effort/reward ratio is off there in my opinion. The only benefit is the infusions slot to get higher AR. As I understand, even at the now highest level, having AR on all your equipment helps a lot, so if they open up more levels (and I think they will) it will really start to matter.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
Alright i think i finish it up, since the chance on increased fractals lvl is getting higher i think the rewards will also be better. now to choose on guard or warrior :P
I would wait until the feature patch on March 18th, maybe we get some changes to ascended gear to make it more useful, like unlockable stat combos. One can only hope.
i dont think they make ascended stats swichtable they dont have the same prestige as a legendary do.
