Guild Wars 2

Hi I’m looking at lvl 80 exotic armors and can’t seem to decide which one works best for me. As of yet I’ve only tried pure power builds up to lvl 80 and was wondering if I could get some feedback from some more experienced players on the matter. What do you think is best? Or even, if you have an alternative to these sets I’d be glad to here your thoughts on them.

Thanks,
Christian

My advice, start with Knight’s exotic and go from there. You can choose whether to buff vit/cond/etc via trinkets and weapons.

As noted in every ‘what gear for ele thread’, power/toughness/vitality from AC/SE/HotW dungeon tokens is all you need on armor and weapons, then either beryl, sapphire or emerald jewelry, the last one is least useful though, imho, because of +prec.
You still get power in the main slot = 3k attack.

The answer to your question depends heavily on your build, playstyle, and weaponset.
No matter what those guys said, nobody can give you a decent answer to your question without that information.

Gear is very build dependent, With every build you will need a different set of stats. The way I feel I must gear is so it provides what I lack when I spec my traits.

I use the Carrion set, and Sapphire jewels (for the toughness, healing power is slightly more useful than precision with Emerald which is the other toughness option).

As said before, however, it’s heavily dependent on build and playstyle.

I run S/D, tend to run solo or in small groups, and occasionally do dungeons. I don’t run into the condition limits often, so condition damage is more valuable for me.

Yeah, some weapons lend themselves more to one set than another. I probably wouldn’t use condition gear with staff (though there are a couple of condition damage attacks there) but I like a good helping of it on D/D.

Gear is dependent on your build, however carrion for everything part from the runes in the gear. For that I use Rune of the Undead, for some toughness.
It is a condition ele, and uses Staff or DD.
Carrion gear, with runes of the Undead attached.
Then for accessories Carrion.
