Guild Wars 2

I got this crate off Teq this morning, and was trying to decide which weapon to pick to give to one of my alts. My main is a staff Elementalist, and she has 2 nice staffs already.

I’ve lately been enjoying my Necromancer quite a bit, but other than my main, I tend to cycle through them all quite a bit.

Outside of that, I suppose it would make sense (assuming they are account bound) to get something that the ‘most’ people could use? Not super excited about the skins themselves, I like small and plain skins, so I’m sure I’d re-skin it anyways.

PvE? None. Toss it away. Scrap it. Do whatever with it.
WvW? Dire/trailblazer on cancer necros is meta, as is perplexity mesmers and permastealth thieves. Guards and eles meeeeeeeh it’ll work but it’s not as common.

Don’t toss it. If Dire proves not so great for you, you can fairly cheaply convert the weapon to other stats via the Mystic Forge.

Just get an ori inscription with the new stats you want and use that. So what you have is an ascended weapon of any stats you want; choose an alt that needs one and customize it for that alt.

“toss it away” bruh…

Keep forgetting I can do that, and didn’t realize how inexpensive it was.

I dunno if I’d consider permastealth thieves “meta”. And if even a single person at anet has a brain it’s going to be nerfed in 4 or 5 years.
