Guild Wars 2

So before I go blowing a bunch of gold, karma, badges etc on gear. I’m trying to think what would be some good stats to invest in as a staff ele?

I was thinking full soldiers armor and berserker trinkets to be balanced and play it safe in WvW while still having damage for zone completion, or would I be best investing otherwise?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah you can do that. I have like 3 armor sets though for dif situations

You’ll have decent damage and survivability with that setup, so it’s a pretty reasonable plan.

It’s relatively cheap to pick up a second set of Rare level gear (a few gold at most) to experiment with, and the stat difference isn’t really all that huge for doing open-world PvE. Just make sure you keep it in an invisible bag slot so you don’t accidentally salvage or sell the stuff!

Another suggestion is to go to the Heart of the Mists and check out come stat combinations there for your build - sadly it’s pretty limited compared to PvE/WvW, but there are test golems of various configurations to test your attacks out on.

*you don’t get up to 14 bits of gear to mix and match with, instead getting only:
- an amulet that defines most of your stats
- a jewel for that amulet for a bit of flavour
- your runes
and the stat combos available are well out of date compared to what’s in PvE, with any introduced over the last year not being represented
