WvW vs AR infusions
Swapping to AR is not that big of a lose. Some player got enough AR from their trinkets alone. At best the wvw infusions add 6% guard killer 8% guard defense. So unless you roam alot it is not that useful.

They also add among other stats 5 power each .. × 14 ascended = 70 power. That’s significant. And for higher fracs only swapping trinkets simply won’t do
or you can get infused back/ring/ring with + 5AR versatile simple infusion and +40AR in infusions. That coupled with earring/earring/necklace with +15AR in total will give you +70.
now you don’t need to get new armor.
