Guild Wars 2

So looking through the metabattle build on meditation roamers, they suggest using some Knight’s gear mixed in with main Zerk gear.

What is the appeal of using Knights over something like Valk instead? I searched around and couldn’t find an answer.

Thanks.

The idea of knights gear is to give you dps with power and precision, while giving you some damage resistance. Valkyrie gear is good for damage with power and ferocity if you can get your critical chances elsewhere. I would think a 2/6/6/0/0 build with one handed weapons (sword, scepter) and Right Hand Strength (15% crit) would work well together.

Something like…

Extra survivability (16.7k hp) without losing any ferocity like with knights gear. Power is still good because valkyrie gear main stat is power, and precision is maintained through trait line, RHS and fury (up to 68%). The loss of Absolute Resolution is balanced with Lemongrass, the extra vitality will help against conditions too. Meditation guardians have a base +300 toughness through traits, plus the heavy armor, for a bit of damage resistance.

I’d say it really depends on the build you’re trying to make.
