hi all,

to not waste your time ill get right to the point, latly i been wokrking on my ascended acessories and have decided maybe its time to optimize my build best i can, for this id like some insight on how much impack a few of these stats have.

Also take not that i use the same build for WvW and pve content, like fractals 10.

1) will going from 2900 armor to 3000 noticebly reduce my incoming damage?

2)is crit damage a consatnt? as in, if i get 50% crit damage will the full 50% always get aplyedto my crit? or is it a RNG type thing like crit chance? also is 50% on a guard respectable?

3) since my build gets me 2950 armor and 17k hp, is it worth it to sacrifice damage to reach 18k hp? or would killing power at this point be more beneficial?

heres 2 links to my build, 1 with the 18k hp, the other with the damage, i frankenstined my freinds trait build to get what i like, and may swap “retreat” for “hold the line” and put a staff in offhand set for WvW but donot want to give up swiftness completly, i like entering and leaving fights at my own discretion. Being an imovable object dosent mean i cant move at my own discretion, just means i need to work at it a bit harder =3

P.S, I tend to roam alone or with 2-5 people at most in wvw, i dont like support roles and in pve i support people plenty by face tanking for them.

any helpful insight and opinions is very apreciated, looking forward to optimizing my build and maybe making a few videos.

Thanks for your time.

1) You’d go from 36% damage reduction to 39%. Aka, no.
Armor gets diminishing returns when stacked a lot.

2) Yes it’s a constant. I.E. if you have 50% crit dmg in the hero panel it means your crits will do: normal damage*200% (150% base plus your 50% added).

3) That is completely dependant on your skill.
I personally have 15k health and find they are well enough.

Btw I would get AH or medi healing instead of 5 points in virtues.
You’re getting more out of those than you get out of those 5 points.
