Guild Wars 2

So I’m saving up some gold to get a set of exotics atm.

I’m torn between Berserker or Valkyrie as a Guardian. In dungeons I could really use the vitality, but I’m unsure whether sacrificing that precision will take a chunk out of my DPS or not, because as is I’m doing “okay” damage. Any less would suck.

I got Valkyrie and don’t regret a thing.

This game isn’t all about DpS anyway, and there’s no need or way to count it.
Also since Guardians have a low base health, I find the extra Vit really welcome (it’s an extra 5000 in the Exotic set).

Are you still able to go about your business and kill things at a decent speed in Orr, Danicco?

I don’t use Valkyrie in Orr, I use an Explorer’s (Rare) Set.
Though I find it much more difficult to kill stuff with the Explorer than the Valkyrie, I think because with the Valkyrie I feel much more confident to pull 5+ at once and Whirling them to death. I go with caution with the Explorer and my measly 13k health.

I traited/built for some vitality, and run full berserker’s set with two trinkets that are Valkyrie. I have 16.5k hp, 41% crit chance, 80% crit damage, and 2.2k power. Pretty easy to do anything, dungeons, etc. Past about 14.5k-15k hp it doesn’t matter too much about vitality, more about toughnes and dodging well/usage of utlity skills/combo fields. Go with what you want, but know running berserker set is viable.

It’s either Knight or Pow/Vit/Tou (forgot the name) for me.

I did tests, and by removing Knight’s armor set completely I only lose 10% crit.
That’s not a lot when compared to the major advantages of Vit and Tou.

The Vigil set (Power, Toughness, Vitality) seems like the best match in all cases.
