  • What’s your WvW playstyle – zerg, small scale roaming, soloing, etc.?
  • Which of the two do you prefer; offensive with damage increase against guards or defensive with less damage taken from guards?
  • Do you take different prefix rings/earrings to focus on one kind of infusion (e.g. 1 zerker ring and one knight ring to be able to infuse both with offensive infusions)?

Does it even matter to you or do you just take whatever?

Large scale the guard defense/offensive infusions do not matter. They only add extra stats so any infusion with stats would work. For small scale, with the defensive infusions able you to solo a camp in one pull or a fully upgraded camp in 2 pulls.

Full ascended gear: armor 6 defensive slots, trinkets 2offensive 2defensive (same stats) +2more infusions of either, and weapons 2 offensive. You can get all offensive infusions trinkets with mix stat rings/accessories if that is the idea stat set-up you want. Adding max guard traits you can get anywhere from -16% damage +18% attack to -22% damage +12% attack against guards. So it just depends on how often you roam compared to zerging and if you have issues surviving a camp solo.

1. I prefer small scale fights but roam and zerg as well. I use same build in all scenarios.

2. Offensive

3. I take the defensive ones where I pretty much have no other option since mixing trinkets would actually lower my dps.

4. Every morning I pray to the lords of power and precision to grant me high crits and offensive infusions on all my gear. One day my wish shall become reality.
