Hi!
I have been a D/D elementelist since I started gw2 and have loved it as its a fast pace character. But I also grew to love WvW. Recently iv have been saving up some money. I kno pw have 50g.
but I also have horrible armor. Can I get some help and which armor is good. I need good health as I do WvW
Btw my traits are: 10 in air magic, 30 in water and arcana.
Thanks for the help
Do you have much karma? If you have about 250,000 karma, you can get the soldier’s (power/toughness/vitality) armor set from the temple vendors in Orr. It’s exotic quality, and basically free if you have the karma already from leveling. Every piece except pants is available in soldier stats, for pants you can run dungeons or save WvW badges or just buy a crafted set with some other useful stats (like cleric’s).
A full cleric’s set is weak to condition damage (you have a lot of condition clears, but in WvW condition spam is everywhere so be mindful of your cooldowns if you go this route). It’s fine against direct damage though, good mitigation through toughness and you have a lot of healing/regeneration built in. If your boons get stripped or converted to conditions or you get chain-CC’d you’re in for a beating though.
A combination of soldier’s and cleric’s is pretty standard for your build. Soldier armor/weapons and cleric trinkets is a good balance. Low damage but you can stay alive forever. The usual rune set for those is 2 superior water, 2 monk and 2 major water or something with protect/regen increase.
Ty for the reply! I have over 600k karma so I think I should be able to buy it I’ll def get those superior runes u said and how many parts of cleric’s armor should I mix with soldiers or should I only use the legs? And is cleric’s trinkets good for jewelry or should I get something better.
Thank-You! Also the 2 daggers I use are: claws of the dessert( think I should get better 1s?)
Bit late to comment, but I agree with the above poster. Soldier’s is just amazing. I recommend you have a full set of that because it works well with most builds. I’d suggest looking into Cleric Trinkets to swap if you wanted to swap in some healing power. I prefer to use one type of armor and another type of trinkets just to make it easier on myself (especially when it comes to runes). As for weapons, I always base them on the skill sets of the weapons and what I usually like to do with it. So if you always see yourself using daggers for healing, then Cleric would be nice. But if you also see yourself using daggers for more tanky of things, I’d say Soldiers would be better choice.
Thank-You
Later tonight when I get home I’ll go get the soldiers set and prob some cleric’s trinkets. thanks for the info
Not sure about those daggers, I don’t recognize the name offhand. The main thing is that they are exotic quality. Soldier’s or cleric’s stats work best with that build but anything is ok.
You can mix and match cleric and soldier gear to suit your tastes. Basically soldier’s will let you take more hits, cleric’s will let you heal up faster, in practice the effect is pretty much the same.
Any other types of stats don’t work as well with that trait setup (IMO). Condition damage requires a good bit of stacking to see much dps increase, and comes at a loss of another stat which is usually more useful. Critical damage is a bit wasted on a build with low precision and precision is a bit wasted on a build with low critical damage, you mostly use crits to keep your vigor up with that build anyway and fury provides enough for that.
The daggers are exotic quality, and Ty for the info it has helped a lot, means a lot to me. again thank-you for the info when I log in tonight I plan to buy the soldiers set
