Guild Wars 2

I want to buy a set of Exotic gear for my Mesmer when she reaches level 80. I am wondering if I should buy Berserker gear (power, precision, and critical damage) or Adventure gear (power, precision, and magic-find)?

The build I like uses Berserker gear, but it’s mainly a solo-build and I don’t know if I’ll be able to use it in dungeons. I am open to using other builds, but I don’t want to pay 45g for gear if I can’t use it for group play.

It might make more sense to buy Adventure gear. I’ll probably be working on a lot of world completion, achievements, and living story stuff (since it’s a solo build), and I might as well make more money while I’m doing it.

Is it okay to use Berserker gear on a Mesmer in group play? Is it even worth paying 45g for Adventure gear, or is it a waste of money by the time the extra magic-find actually pays off?

P.S. Here is a link to the build I’m running https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Defining-the-glass-cannon-mesmer/first

They are going to remove magic find on armor and move it to account bonus like from the achievement chests. So either go zerker or wait to see if they remove adventure or see what stat they replace magic find with.

Even disregarding the fact that MF will soon no longer exist, an exotic mf set has always been a bad idea. Mf has the same stat from green gear up to exotic, so there’s no reason to go higher than greens for a set of mf gear.

Pick up the berserker gear. Magic find is being removed from gear stats soon and if you use it in a dungeon, not only are you slowing your party, but magic find doesn’t affect chest loot so it’s pointless whereas berserker lets you destroy any mobs that stand in your way within seconds.

Even though magic find gets you better drops, in berserker gear you kill things a whole lot faster, so you get a lot more drops to compensate.
