Guild Wars 2

I asked this in another thread but I didn’t really get an answer.

I am gathering a confusion gear set and I am wondering what makes a better 2nd stat – Power or Precision?

I plan on running staff and either with sword/something or maybe scepter/something. I do have Khilborn’s chest (condition/precision/toughness) and will probably go with the whole set unless there are better ideas.

So, Power or Precision?

I would say precision because you can stack bleed and other fun conditions on crit in the background on top of your confusion.

My choice – precision for at least 15 points in order to get your master skill. Illusions cause bleed on crit. adding further condition damage that scales with your stats.

Definitely Precision. Mesmer condition builds rely heavily on Clones for damage, i.e. Staff Clones or any Clone (except Scepter Clones) with Sharper Images; and Sharper Images requires crit chance to work.

Thanks for the responses!

If you’re focusing on confusion itself, I’d get some domination for the added condition duration. Mind wrack also scales with power, and there are a couple useful trait options that go well with condition damage.

For conditions across the board, however, dueling seems to be the better choice, especially when coupled with sigils for condition generation. Staff works well too.
