Guild Wars 2

I wound up with a pair of Cavalier Pants from a Fractal chest, and was wondering if anyone has found any more of this stat distribution in other locations? I’ve been searching pretty diligently, but it doesn’t seem to be very easy to find.

None on the trading post, can’t seem to find any at the dungeon merchants, don’t know of a crafting recipe that makes it, and can’t find it in Orr.

I was thinking about combining it with “of the Knight” (Precision, Power, Toughness) trinkets for a high toughness build with decent Critical Chance / Damage.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edited for clarity.

The trinkets should be available at the temple of balth for karma,
I didn’t think Cavalier Armor existed, but it must come out of fractal chests.

it’s transmuted. you can’t buy the exotic stats of it on the TP, so the exotic variant doesn’t exist.

The exotic stats exist from Fractal chests as seen by the picture. Even though it’s transmuted, its still exotic in stats (look at the color of the name).

Exotic cavaliers gear is only found in fractals. Unfortunately, since all exotics found in fractals come account bound, there is no way to trade them.

It’s best to get amulet/accessories/rings/backpiece to have Cavalier stats at any rate. That’s because those items have a much larger +crit damage on them than armor pieces, due to ANet messing up jewel stats balance wise and having to stick with it.

So since you are using Cavalier, and it is a +crit damage item, you will need other items that grant +crit chance or the +crit damage would be a waste. Which means having some knight armor and weapons meshes well with the Cavalier jewelry. And you can mix in Soldier. And berserker.

My thought was that if I could combine Cavalier armor (which I know has a somewhat poor stat:critical damage ratio compared to ascended jewelry, but hear me out) with a set of “of the Knight” (Major Precision, Minor Power / Toughness – stat combo does not exist on armor) Trinkets, I could get a decent mix of Toughness, Precision, Power and Critical Damage.

Mostly I was hoping someone new of some dungeon token or karma armor that had Cavalier stats that I’d missed, but apparently not. Pity! Will keep at it with Fractals and hope I get lucky!

If you’re trying to get a set of cavalier armor from fractals, you’re going to be very very disappointed. There are few things in this game that I would recommend against doing more than trying to farm cavalier armor in fractals. I can tell you right now, you will farm fractals for the next year, and probably not see more than 2 more pieces of cavalier armor. Use something else.

I often use the ascended cavalier jewelery with either Knights or Berserker armour depending on my spec and my mood.

Oh, I totally understand. It wasn’t my intention to attempt to farm the gear out of Fractals, since I’m sure the drop rate is abysmal. That’s why I made my original post – to see if anyone had found Cavalier armor elsewhere, in case I’d missed it. I don’t run explore-mode dungeons very often and thought that maybe there was a token or karma version of the armor somewhere I’d missed, but apparently not.

That said, I think it would be a neat set to experiment with. Having the gear is apparently so uncommon that I can’t find a build editor site that even has the Cavalier stat distribution as an option for armor, (Just Trinkets) and a few folks on the forum weren’t aware that it even existed. I’ll count myself lucky to have a piece of it at all, even if it’s just pants. It actually worked out really well for me since I bought all of my Soldier’s (Power, Toughness, Vitality) gear with Karma in Orr, but couldn’t find the pants out there. The Cavalier piece fits in sorta nicely with high precision trinkets.
