so we dont get a change to to armor from 5%>10%
is it worth it get ascended anyway for fractals and dungeon wise or better off get the weapon trinkets and stick with exotic armor (and fractals not at max lvl and if i would want it i only nead to infuse my back piece get like 2 plus 10 AR and i think im there for it im on 40AR atm and with the weapon 50 AR)

weapon is ok to get i heared but armor is it realy worth the kosts or not so (i dont want to try get that horible damask again)

thnx for any answers in advance

cheers =)

Nope 5% nerf back too what It was is all good again because 5% stat increase would have been amazingly superior to exotic!!! just insane dps boosts just stick with exotic i suppose !

I’m very slowly making my asc gear, already have the weapons. Not going for Legendary weapons because not needed and overpriced for what they add.

i think asc is def worth it, IF you want that little bit of oomph more.

Ascended is still objectively superior. The base damage and defence on the armour will be slightly higher in addition to any of the stat boosts. So even a berserker armour set will have a higher armour value in ascended as compared to exotic.

However, I’d only suggest going for ascended under one of two conditions:

1. You want to plan for higher level fractals, in which case having the agony resistance put in the armour can be useful.

2. You feel the extra stat boost is worth the investment.

Otherwise, exotic gear will work just fine, and it is much easier to acquire and modify as needed.

1. its the best decision they could make.
2. you dont need ascendet except high fractals levels.
3. exotic is still top tier in all under level 80 areas.

I’m so mad cause I had bought 300g worth of silk to craft ascended. Now they announced they changed their mind so I am at a 15% loss because of TP charges. Thanks a lot anet.

Many more ascended changes are coming, either in this patch or in the future. I recommend you to make your ascended gear, now that you have invested for it. It might turn out to be worth in the future.

As far as things are going at the moment. You won’t feel the additional 5% when under level 80.
So it’s really ONLY something to invest in if you’re playing at cap.

This myth about needing ascended armor isn’t slightly true. You don’t need it. You can easily get to 70 by having your trinkets and weapon(s) outfitted with AR.

Personally, I would go for ascended gear. Anet has already stated there will be no better gear in near future – knowing Anet we’re talking about a year or so at most. Also there will be new possibilities to change current ascended armor sets into others.
So I think it’s an invest you won’t regret.

Also I wouldn’t wait too long. The trading post prices will explode for certain things. For instance, mithrilium ingot prices will skyrocket. So I would reconsider crafting heavy armor know – especially since it’s beneficial when playing the new maps – ’cause you will be at level 80 and therefore “feeling” the difference.

Good luck!
