Guild Wars 2

i was wondering does anyone know why there is amulets missing?theirs no apothecary or dire amulets i am sure there are more that are missing.Anet if you read this could you tell us why.

well, because they judged these amulets would be imbalanced, or they didn’t take time to think about how to implement them in pvp.

Yeah, ANET has said they would be too imbalanced. Instead they created the dd ele. What a joke.

kitten if you ask me.
Vit/tough with power is fine, but with condi it’s OP?

Because narrowing PvP to 1 build per class is the newest Anet’s idea how to conquer eSport.

They have figured out that it’s not diversity but static build that can compete with MOBA games such as LoL or Dota or even CS as FPS in eSport arena.

Personally I’m getting more and more impatient to see how kitten Gw2 will become because of that in near future.

Soldiers is a pretty tanky amulet at the cost of precision and ferocity; you run with soldiers you won’t be doing any serious damage.

Dire is also a pretty tanky stat combo, but a lot of condi builds don’t even need any precision and don’t need any ferocity to burst someone. If you put in dire in SPvP condi builds will end up as tanky as soldiers while also being able to burst down people, mind you not as fast as zerker or marauder but condi can still burst pretty fast. Plus power focused builds have vitality and toughness to worry about meanwhile condis completely ignore toughness (armor in general).
Idk how much WvW you’ve played but you can go try a dire condi PU mesmer with perplexity runes, you’ll be nigh unkillable when fighting most people.

This is also why a lot of people hate condi builds, you can still be pretty bursty without having to sacrifice vitality and toughness and in SPvP you’re forced to make that sacrifice if you want to play condi for balance’s sake.

Figuring it out from comparing the stats alone isn’t rocket science.
Physical damage scales by: Power, Precision, Ferocity
Physical damage reduced by: Toughness
Condition damage scales by: Condition Damage
Condition damage reduced by: …..

Soldiers amulet make power builds trade off critical damage for its survival capabilities. However if Dire amulet exists, condi builds wouldn’t need to sacrifice any efficiency to produce the same amount of damage while maintaining high survival capabilities.

Amulets aren’t the only thing missing
There are some Sigils and Runes missing as well.

Call out threads for ANET devs to answer rarely get you any results.
