Guild Wars 2

I have a lot of karma to spend and i want to buy an exotic set. Im thinking Rubicon for the precision and condition but im not nerd enough to figure out what the best stats & set are for me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Minionmancer generally rely on toughness and healing, rather than condition or power. Using Minions to do the damage they would normally do.

You want power/precision/crit damage with just enough vitality/toughness/healing power mixed in for your personal taste of tankiness/minion healing.

Power/vit/toughness can be a good choice for karma gear for starter. The other Temple set aren’t that great for a MM. Cavalier trinkets from Balthazar temple are good too if you want more burst, and can be used too in others builds.

Later on you’ll be able to upgrade to whatever suits you, and still keep the PVT to try some “tanky” build like the juggermancer.

If you don’t bother with rare and exotic difference, there’s berserker gear in WvW for more than half the price of the Temple Exotic ones.

Minions do not really care what armor you wear. Do you want them to blow up, or heal them so they stay alive longer? Check out Dulfy dot com for details on the sets. You can also purchase a mix from different temples and add new runes of your choosing. I built most of my power/tough/vit set from mixing temple gear.

There is 0 point in keeping your noodles alive for long. Golem being a sole exception. Bone minions loose dps if you don’t blow them up… blood fiend is um…. If you need explanation here then you are better off playing something else… 2 other spots is bone fiend for your ranged safe dps… debatable and last spot shadow fiend/flesh worm. SF for roaming… generally he is most reliable ai kittenation combo breaker and will die fast due to being first in. Its still better then having 6 idiots standing around without even having a decency to get popcorn or something. And FW is your teleport/stun breaker blah blah that you remove after each fight simply because he/she is immobile and you aren’t.
In short you have 1 minion that generally isn’t touched and that is bone fiend… But that thing is ranged… so again… healing? What….
Also gear/stats/buffs etc etc have no affect on your minions only condition they can produce so your gear is almost entirely irrelevant in any given situation. And considering how much hp/s a full MM generates and the fact that vampiric traits scale like dried sack of horse kitten with healing… again there is no point in healing with MM build.

I think it’s going to depend a lot on how you plan to utilize the stats, especially in conjunction with traits. For example, how will precision help your build? This armor has no Power or Crit Dmg; do you have traits or sigils that need to proc off of crit? What trinkets/upgrades are you planning to use in conjunction with this armor to generate a viable amount of crit chance?

In short, you need to consider the whole build, so supply us with your planned traits, trinkets, sigils, runes, etc. Asking for armor recommendations requires knowing all the other pieces to the puzzle.
