Guild Wars 2

ok so i need help understanding what is meant when when people talk about the bezerker, knight, soldier etc armours. for example beserker armour

Is it just good lvl 80 armour with beserker runes or can you buy it from dunegeons and craft it

any help is appreciated and also if i am not clear enough ask me to elaborate and i will answer when I can

thanks in advance.

So the way armor works in this game is in three parts. The names go like this

Stat setup Base armor model Runes

So as an example

Berserker (random armor piece) of the explorer.

What his says is it has the berserker stat setup with the explorer rune. There are a lot of different stat combos such as traveler, cleric, giver, etc.

Each amror set be it bezerker, knight, cleric, giver, rampager ect… comes with its own base stats (power, precision, crit damage, healing ….) plus the rune slot. Then there are many different runes you can place in them. So basically you could have a full set of knights armor, with a full set of runes of your choice. By default almost all level 80 sets do not have runes already placed in them so you can mix and match all you want.

The easiest thing you can do is search the trade post and see all the different sets and runes.

Berserker, Knight, Cleric, Explorer are just some of the many names Arenanet gave to gear based on what stats they have. For example, a weapon that has:

- Power
- Precision
- % crit dmg

Is a Berserker weapon.

well kitten this forum is actually helpful thanks alot people for the fast and helpful responses i guess i still have one question can you get these types of armour without crafting or buying and if so how?

thanks again

and also my apologies for my bad spelling aswell

You can get most stat combo’s from doing dunguens aswell. You can also buy a couple of combo’s with karma from vendors in Orr. This wiki page will provide some more info:

Here is a link to everything you need to know …
The best of the lvl 80 needs to be bought (with gold or karma or dungeon/wvw tokens) or crafted buy you.
