Guild Wars 2

To start let me say this isn’t a thread to argue about the viability of said stats, if you were thinking about posting something in the lines of “Why bother?” or “You’d be better off with…” then you can subtract that opinion before you even post it.

To the point, I was very disappointed after so long to level leatherwork (before Ascended I never bothered with any crafting) to find out the Tempered Spinal Blades don’t have sentinel stats when the Exotic version has.

When I made the Ascended version I used a clean Exotic, i.e. with no starts selected, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t make a difference but I’ll ask anyway, if I had used an Exotic Sentinel, would I had gotten an Ascended Sentinel?

I know there is a Sentinel Ascended amulet, and you can also get full armor and weapons, why not the backpiece? And while we’re at it, why no Rings and Accessories either?

Could most likely be a bug and (while being a boring response) you should report this to ArenaNet.

Same reason why you don’t have some trinkets with some other stat combos. They will be added eventually. You could try and store it somewhere without picking the stats hoping it changes someday, but honestly..i would rather pick some other stat combo for the meantime.

Back item stats are quite meaningless anyway in the big picture, so just pick cleric or dire (depending if you’re power or condi) and you will never-ever see the difference.
