Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if this is the right forum so..

Should I go power or precision for my current level 22 Guardian using greatsword? I’m only solo PvE for right now and my crit chance is like 15%.

I don’t really have a build right now since I’m not doing any PvP or WvW.

Power’s probably a better bet for you. Precision doesn’t really start to come into its own until you get access to crit damage from three-stat gear in later levels.

You need both but for now try to prioritize power a bit more. If you start feeling like you die too easy, it’s simple to get more toughness and vitality once you get new gear.

Awesome thanks for the help guys.

Yes, unless you’re building specifically for crit, I would suggest prioritizing power as well. What additionally supports this is the fact that you can’t crit against inanimate objects like catapults, etc etc. So your damage will be significantly reduced against such things, which can be a quite annoying in some situations.

On the other hand crit can be quite useful if you compliment it with %-chance-heal-on-crit food.

Oh and it’s ‘newb’ not ‘noob’, unless you’re knowingly insulting yourself. We were all newbs once, but only the bigoted and ignorant are noobs, and no one wants to be those.
