Guild Wars 2

After the new patches and minions updates , do we need to change our stats ?
I have Soldier gear right know > http://tinyurl.com/opjsdrw
Will cleric be more useful as life stealing is affected by healing power ( minions siphoning too ) ?
What are the pros and cons of each gear ?

Well IMO solders still has the edge, the bonus you get from healing power is laughable. But as in all things it comes down to playstyle and preference. I’m sure some people out there swear by clerics gear.

PvE soldier’s is the best general (defensive) option, cleric’s is only if you are planning to support. Berzerker is still better if you need damage though, because let’s face it its still PvE.

Both are competitive options in PvP, for different builds.

Berserker is best option for pve MM :/ (Or condition, or condi-power hybrid) You don’t need defense in pve, if you need – you’re doing something wrong

soloing champions with closed eyes with my MM necro in soldier gear lol not all of corse but yeah some defensive stats worth it.

ALSO

5% Power is converted to healing power ( Soldier gear main stat is Power )
5% Toughnes is converted to Power ( Soldier gear secondary stat is Toughnes and vitality )
Food that converts 5% Vitality and 7% Toughnes to Power

Siphon dmg and healing also scales with Power.

Pride? A feeling of accomplishment? It may be shocking to realize, but some people don’t enjoy just faceroll zerging things all day! Running with the train is about the most boring thing imaginable. They need to randomize spawn times or something its getting way out of hand. But I digress! Apothecary gear works nice for a MM too, since you are likely using staff alot it beefs up staff2 to quite a huge bleed and like 300hp per tic regen for you and minions.

Pride for what? For “soloing champions with closed eyes”?

Pride of being self sufficient? Pride is unique to each individual. People do not need to share the same virtues.

Cleric vs Soldiers – depends on your play style and your other weapons. Some may not like the idea of hitting like a wet noodle when the minions get wiped out from AoE. Some would say clerics would prevent that, it could delay it.
