My roamer runs a condition interrupt build (recently switched over from condition PU). Her armor is all Precision/Toughness/Condition Damage, with Perplexity runes.

Yesterday, she got an Ascended chest drop. Once I recovered from the shock, I opened it up and saw it was Power/Precision/Condition Damage gear.

Two questions:
1. Should I wear it?
2. If so, which piece? I seem to recall reading somewhere that the legs give the most bang-for-your-buck. I’m not sure if that’s talking about crafting from mats or what.

TIA

Unfortunately, unless you’re going for a new build alltogether, I don’t think adding hybridized stats (power/precision) will help out much.

Save it. The extra points aren’t enough to make up for sub-optimal stats.

If you want to use it, maybe start experimenting some hybrid damage builds.

Thanks guys. I think I’ll just throw it in my bank and see if things change later.

I think you should wear it with a crest on the armor with the words “Queen of Cheese Builds” etched onto it.

In all serious, the answer is no. You’re losing the condition damage not using the power and the increase in the other stats/armor is minimal. Stick with your current gear.

Builds like this are one reason why longbow rangers should not be nerfed.
