Guild Wars 2

What stats should I be focusing on in my gear when I am mainly using rifles?

It depends on what build you are focusing on. If you are looking for damage only, power, precision and critical damage (Berserker) will be what ur looking for mostly. In general, rifle does not go well with condition damage

Alrighty. Thanks.

I prefer a balanced approach to my stats.

I shoot for:
2,000 power
1,700 precision
1,100 toughness
1,300 vitality

I then use 6/6 cent runes (power) in soldier’s armor (p/v/t), and have berserker jewels (P/P/Crit Damage), and eat precision/crit damage food, and artisan maintenance oil.

Here is my build (cut and paste): http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-V70;2sPkq0u53UFx0;9;5J-JT;158;235-17B;66Rk06Rk0d

Yeah it depends on your build, for reference this is the build/stat combination I use:

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.1|4.1n.h1b|0.0.0.0.0.0|1c.71i.1c.71i.1c.71i.1c.71i.1n.71h.1c.71h|4v.0.1n.64.1n.64.1i.67.1i.67.1g.67|0.k68.0.u2ab.k68|39.1|2b.0.0.0.0|e

The runes could be replaced with whatever you want, but since I’m using an Elixir version I wanted the boon duration. I like the stats, seems like a balanced approach.

Hope that helps.
