Guild Wars 2

so i’m a bit confused about what to do with sets.

i see there are sets for stacking magic find and sets for various builds.

what kind of sets should i be using for dungeons and events (where you aim at the loot)?

and then, what’s the point for other sets? Wvw? speedruns to shorten dungeon completion time?

Dungeons: Damage or Support.
Events: Magic Find.
WvW: Damage or Support.
Speedruns: See Dungeons.

Damage:
Typically Berserker’s (notable in speedruns), can also use any set that gives good damage output when combined with a proper build.

Support:
Anywhere from Giver’s to Soldier’s, this is mostly just a rune setup as opposed to actual stats in some cases.

Magic Find:
Typically Explorer’s, can use any set that gives Magic Find.

Note: You can run any set in any scenario, but this is just the standardization of it.

@Espen, nice summary, I vote this up tbh.

/Osicat

isn’t berserker’s output a little too fragile for a mesmer? thinking of situations when you are swarmed by mobs, for example.

should it be good stacking some tough.?

i run a bursty build, it would be enough to use sigils/other upgrades for “survival” (tough-vitality) or should i go for a mixed set?
as for now i’m using non-exotic gear with mixed stats (mostly power-prec, zerker)

I’ve been running full berz for well over a month now and I have had no problems surviving.

i mean on the raw damage taken, if a mistake is too punishing, not considering dodging and clone distraction.
