Guild Wars 2

I’m looking at replacing my rare amulet, rings, and earrings with ascended items instead of exotic.

At the moment I have enough laurels for 3 of the 5.

Question I have is would it be idea to focus on the 3 stats my build is centered around (power, precision, condition damage) or purchase the items that have all stats but lower stat bonuses.

I’ve watched several videos and looked over some guides but haven’t exactly received a clear idea on which is better long term.

Any help would be appreciated before I create another month+ worth of work to get another item when I could of purchase the correct item to begin with.

Thanks in advance.

pick the items with stats that are most important to you. Also don’t waste laurels on rings. Do FOTM to get rings.

Just buy the zerker’s in my opinion. It’s doubtful you’ll regret it. Some people also go cavalier’s (power toughness crit damage) for WVW.

Don’t use celestial unless you can really use all stats. That probably only goes for Engineers and/or very specific builds.

Depending on your profession, you’ll have different things appeal to you. A zerk set will always be of use though, maybe not perfect but always good.

I approve of what Folk said, don’t purchase rings, they can drop in fractals 10+ and can even drop already infused in fractals 20+. So I’d say an amulet and two earrings sounds good.

About stats, I prefer getting the central stats of my build rather than ‘going rainbow’.

Thanks for the insight. I’m glad I didn’t just drop 70 Laurels on two rings I could get in the near future.

Do you belong to a guild that does guild missions? If so you can use commendations and gold to buy ascended earrings. There are a lot of guilds that offer temporary membership in exchange for helping them complete mission content.
