Guild Wars 2

What do you guys think are well-balanced stats for a WvW mesmer? I want my mesmer to have decent offensive and defensive power. I was thinking something like 2k atk, 50% crit chance, 2.8-3k armor, and 200% crit dmg. I mostly run with the zerg and prefer burst dmg to condition dmg, but I want to be able to hold my own if I decide to run solo or roam.

I’m going to test celestial gear today. I think anet is push every class toward that .

Trouble with celestial gear is that it has a lot of stats that aren’t useful in a given build. Healing power isn’t really ever good, and a tiny bit of condition damage is also a waste. You can more effectively get a stat distribution by mixing and matching different armor stats than by just taking celestial.

I actually did consider Celestial gear at one point, but I agree with Fay. Some stats in Celestial gear are not what I want for the build I’m going for so I’ve been mixing and matching. However, I’m having a difficult time finding the mixed set of armor to reach the exact stats in my first post.

I’m making a set for my ele anyway so I’ll try it and see . I think with AA change a hybrid condi/power build might work. The meta for almost every class is going more and more toward a super D setup with condi burst. I really don’t want to go condi so I’ll try 1/2 way.
