Guild Wars 2

Today I did arah p3. I got all flame legion gear and weapon. but my dps is pretty sad i should say. Now, im use to playing WoW all the time and know what gear to get to make my toon better. but on Guild wars im still trying to understand what best gear to get to make my guy better. is karma gear better then the token you get from the dungeons?

Karma gear is the same as you get from Dungeons. Exotic. Exotic is the easiest end game gear to get, but Ascended is better (but only 5 % or so). And of course, then there’s the Legendary weapon.

It’s not the source that’s important but the stats, level and quality (rare or exotic for example)

The highest dps gear at any level and quality is beserker gear with power, ferocity and precision.

im doing power with necromancer so my best bet is to get all beserker gear then ?

You could use all conditions and you’ll kill stuff when running around solo but it’s slower. Your chipping away at them rather than hitting them hard. And world bosses will hardly notice your attacks because of the way their set up with capped condition damage.

If you pug dungeons and someone else dealing condition damage comes along the 2 of you will be competing for the same condition damages resulting in less damage overall.

Sadly in PvE, Bezerker is always the best options.

In PvP (sPvP or WvW), this is not the case. But for PvE, conditions is bad since the stacks is cap so you will always dimisnish the dmg of someone else. Healing Power is bad simply because its scale horribly. Toughness and Vitality is good, but you don’t need them in PvE. You can do a great job at surviving stuff in PvE wihtout them, you just need to use your active defence and get a better knowledge of the encounter. Boons duration is good, but exempt with trait and runes, you will only get a really small amount of boons duration at the expense of high amount of other stats that are better. You can use other stats than Beserker, mainly if you are learning you want a passive defense to keep you alive, when you are simply casual and don’t really want to have a difficult time playing for only a couple of hours, or if you are simply not good enough to play full Berserk, and several other reasons (good or not).
