Guild Wars 2

Wondering what would be the best armor to invest in for multiple builds. I tend to like playing support and still kill things, but other times I want to spec for burning and conditions. The two armor sets I’m looking at are Berserker or Soldier. Thanks for any input ahead of time.

condi guards don’t work

you will use zerker 90% of the time here

then soldier with soldier runes if you want to join a wvw zergball

wants support classes? play ranger/ele/warrior

Remember that ‘’Soldier Runes’’ are now named Trooper.

Multiple builds that aren’t DPS? Celestial. Multiple builds that are DPS? Zerker.

Though as a warning, Celestial is not an optimal spread of stats for mixed stat gear.

I made a set of Assassin stat Ascended armor a few weeks before they announced the change in crit damage.

I have all Ascended Zerker trinkets and Zerker weapons, but I don’t have a good sense of the current difference now between Zerker and Assassin.

Is anyone else in a similar situation?

I attached a pic of my stats (all traits refunded)

its not worth trading power for crit

Assassins trades power for precision – the difference was very slight, but I’m not sure how it is now.

Soldier armor and Traveler’s runes (because I’m lazy).

Power is worth 1 point
Crit is worth 0.6 points

in terms of dps

It’s not that straightforward because your crit damage is dependent on you power …

… but yes, in the ranges of what is currently attainable ingame, power is the preferred stat.
