Guild Wars 2

Why assassin? Doesn’t berserker’s essentially fill the same role?

As a guardian and ele player, I was really hoping they’d add in a zealot’s amulet. >_>

It will fulfill the role of “never being used” because it’s objectively worse than Berserker’s.

That’s kind of what I thought too. So I guess it doesn’t really offer anything useful, or anything new in terms of playstyle.

They tweaked some of the amulets too, I see Cleric got a slight buff.

For realsies? Do tell, I’m downloading the patch right now.

it has higher ferocity, lower power, and higher prec, very niche…

But ya 10g for these “new” amulets, not worth it.

I would love to see the stats on who actually bought the last 10g ones, I can’t imagine it got alot of attention.

Why not Zealot, kitten

I bought it, and it seems pretty nice if I do hp regen with pistols with it

i’d love to see the healing power, toughness, vitality stats in pvp. moaaaar bunker, mooooaaaaaar

no, srsly, we need them to kitten off thieves!

Zerker is better in 99% of instances but I’m sure there’s a few niche builds that rely on on-crit effects for whom assassin’s would be at least an option, if not optimal.

I thought it could work with fresh air ele, but you really have enough procs witth zerker and the lower power on your air bursts does nothing good for you.

Might work better in builds that can rapidly get high Might, since it will multiply that bonus power more effectively than a Zerker amulet.

And I will also make the call for a Zealot’s amulet in PvP.

They should add dire.

Note: no, no they should not.

Berserker does more damage overall still than Assassin’s. But Assassin’s is a big more consistent just lower than zerkers, by what I would guess is about 15-20% from the numbers I’m seeing (without actually trying to calculate the math)

hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, yes please. moaaaar bunker. but this time, with condi overkill. hell yeah

Assassin is better for sustain damage, and in the long run. However I still don’t see that many people using it over zerker.

Zerkers does more over time. Bash the golem with infinite health with both

Crazy they added such garbage like assassin’s but can’t even add a simple vendor in the Mists for our banks. We still have to completely leave the area or carry around some sort of vendor so we can bank all the crap!
