Guild Wars 2

I see a ton of weapon and build guides that are stickied, but no armor guide?

Is this because (given the current meta) you should be always wearing zerk gear? I’ve heard that’s true for PvE, but does that hold for WvW, too?

I have a full exotic set of Berzerkers, an a full set of Clerics (which I started converting into Ascended). But now I am hearing that my efforts in making Cleric is a complete waste? I went with Cleric because I wanted more toughness (to survive) and healing power (because I use Restorative Mantras, and cast Mantra of Pain a ton).

Build: 20/20/0/30/0

PvE – full zerker, all the way.
WvW – Rabid or Dire if you go conditions, else Zerk/Knight/Cavalier mix.

And yeah, Restorative Mantras scales abysmally bad with healing power – don’t take cleric. Sorry.

Thanks, I don’t know why I am asking this after making two pieced of ascended cleric armor… <cry>

Ascended cleric – oh dear!

Just another reason why all Ascended gear should be stat-selectable by default.

Down with legendary discrimination! Down with the 1%! Occupy Anet!

oh man im sorry but if youve got ascended clerics its not sooooo bad, tkae a pu build with signet of inspiraiton and spread that tasty regen round, its not the best but that would be better than zerk, i dont allow any of my allies to roam with zerk, if they die others will die trying to res and they will just res the enemies through the broken downed mechanic

yes PU build, to build up regen, just an example im not saying id use it xD
and PU is great as to give mesmers stealth, its always been there its just more accessable now from the speed and traveller runes

Oh, one more question:

Given the changes that might be coming in for Zerk stats and any other balance, think it’s best to hold off on crafting stuff to completion for now?

I can just hoard my Damask in the mean time…

You mean holding off on ascended weapons/armour? Maybe, considering there is no way to change stats at the moment.

I still think zerker weapons will be good enough after the change, so may be worth crafting them up to max if you like given they’re flexible enough to be used in different builds.

As for armour, I’m not touching that until a stat change feature/item is introduced, or the price is drastically cheaper. If that’s never, then so be it.
