Guild Wars 2

I went ahead and boosted this class ( 0 world completion). I have 6 Zojas ascended insignia’s in my bank. Should I craft a zerk set or sell and wait to unlock viper’s. I’m just now coming back to gw2 and this character is naked. I basically have every accessory/ring from fractals prior to HoT. I mostly do PvE content and looking to smash through new content in magguma and progress in fractals and eventually raids. I’m retuning because mythic Nighthold ruined my guild and wow experience. Lf friends as a side note. Lol

That Depends if you are going the Scrapper rout then zerkers is fine you can do both fractals and raids but you will need to drop Scrapper during raids and pick up a different specialization. But condi works very well in the new HoT content and in general and the viper/sinisters setup is very good.

should i just grab some rampager’s from the trade post for now?

Remember you can transform your equipment in the Mystic Forge.
IMO, right now, Viper is better than Zerker for Engie. Closer to meta, easier to get into Raids, compatible with more builds. (Viper isn’t that bad for power builds, and can be magnificent for condi builds.) Unless you hate condi and will never use it in any way, I’d reccomend to change zerk into viper.

Take your time and craft the vipers stuff Rampagers will get you through the HoT content without to much trouble.

Another plus for vipers is that right now both vipers thief and ranger are pretty kitten good, so should you want to try those out you can easily swap armor between all 3 characters.

Thanks for the help. I guess it’s auric basin farming in green for me! Just need the ascended insignia to craft the set. Would you recommend HoT and living story for the accessories? I heard the bloodstone ring is easily obtainable. Where can I get a vipers back item quickly?

The living story accessories from both ls2 and ls3 are worth getting ls3 is easier and you get a choice of stats.
