Q:
How much Toughness?
A:
Depends what you mean by “standard”. Most of the HGH builds I’ve seen and used have at least an above average amount of precision, so I don’t know if I’d consider that a secondary stat.
In my case, I’m using a 0/30/10/30/0 dual pistol roamer, and I have about 2300-2400 armor, which I think means I have around 1300-1400 tougness. My gear is mostly a split of carrion and rabid.
You’ll generally have to settle for mediocre toughness with a lot of HGH builds since you’ll be dumping most of your stats into damage, crit chance, crit damage, or condition duration.
I can’t remember what my precision is off-hand, but I have about a 30% base crit chance, so I probably have around 1500ish precision.
I can’t remember my vitality off-hand either, but I have about 23-24k health… that’s probably about 1800-1900ish vitality.
By no means do you have to conform to this though. It all depends on what you want your build to have, and you might have to test some combos out before deciding what you prefer. Configuring a build in sPvP can be a convenient way to test out stat combos, although the gear is a bit restrictive there.
I would caution about dumping everything into toughness at the expense of vitality, and vice-versa, as it can actually be disadvantageous to balancing the two stats out. But it can sometimes depend on what stat combos are available.
