Guild Wars 2

I’m running full knights armor scrapper right now with Zerker rings. What should my accessory be, Knights or Zerkers or another stat?

I’m new, I could really use some help choosing since they things cost a lot of laurels.

Hey there, can you tell us for what? WvW, PvE, raids, open world? The “full knights armor” seems more like WvW, or you’re just either new to PvE or you just take it easy So tell us! ^^

Hi,

I am trying to gear for both WvW and PvE. I’m also rather new.

I can only help you with the PvE part. But I think you would need 2 equips for both modes anyway. But for PvE go for Berserker stats (Power>Precision=Ferocity).

:)

If you cant really decide, just go celestial. Yes, you will loose stats in your “dedicated” area but you gain a little more balanced stats. They are usefull in just about any build on any character. I use rabid+celestial on my gyro scrapper in both PvE and WvW (although I intend to replace the rabid part with viper dedicated to PvE later).

Zerker is fine too, but tbh, its quite hilarious to watch in upscaled events. Did one yesterday, we where about 40 peeps in a defense wave event where champ risen was spawning. Watching 20 peeps get insta-killed made me laugh real hard (at the moment I was facetanking the champ on my reaper necro hitting around 3K with autoattack, having 31K HP/2000 toughness I wasnt even phased).

If you go zerk, just know how to dodge. Knights+zerk is perfectly fine and you can go zerk+zerk when you want.

it depends on “how” you want to play. for wvw if you want to go condi go rabid/giver … for pve viper …. if you want to go power … for pve zerker … for wvw marauder but celestial can also be really good or knight + bers jewellery

@Dawdler
well necro is a completly different story, mine has 45k with DS and is still the “reaper zerker”. But celecstial is a huge waste once he gets decent equip. Why not start with the real deal right away? :S

@PierPiero
^pretty much what he said

I don’t think celestial as a waste…. celestial perhaps is not obtimal but it let you play all the content types … at least for engineer

“huge waste” is a relative term unless you are an min-maxer (and if he’s asking, he’s not and have plenty of time to get every single stat combo on his trinkets). Zerker+celestial compared to zerker+zerker loose about 7% crit chance, 10% critdmg and 400 power (some of it made up by added condi dmg, you get nearly double damage on bleeds for example).

Unless you have an absolutely urgent and critical need to get a mob down in 27 seconds instead of 30 seconds, it matter little. One single mistake in a very long and complicated max dps rotation trying to juggle 3 kits or whatever it is will probably make up that difference, lol.

Besides, the trinkets are always usable on other classes and a wide variety of builds. Zerkers are pretty much only for power builds, unless you change your armor/weapons around (personally I prefer swapping the trinkets and keeping various base gear layouts).

Even if i find rabid/dire superior, you can also play condi with celestial … so you have much more different builds to play …
