Guild Wars 2

So, I’m not really one for doing math, or figuring out how the differences will work; but any ideas to how the new assassin combo will play out for builds?

I’ve recently shifted into sword/warhorn with the 20/25/0/25/0 build; it has a good amount of fury uptime for boss battles and harder fights and such; but again, I’m not very good at figuring the differences.

Any thoughts fellow rangers?

It’s main stat is precision right? Sounds like a piece or two added to zerk for PvE could help non-ascended players get to 100% crit chance easier. Maybe you’re throwing in a few assassin’s pieces on the remoresless/valkryie build for a bit more precision? Any other ideas? Is there any reason to use a full set?

not on ranger..its nice to have much precision but if you habe no crit dmg, their is still dmg that get lost

Sharpened edges: 2s bleed on crit @ 66% chance

Assassin’s is very nice for “on crit” type abilities which usually involve conditions. Sigil of earth, etc. I originally thought it was precision/power/crit dmg though (doh!) so maybe not so good for pve like I suggested above.

true, i got a build in mind but not with full assasins, just to push a bit preci/power for a spirit and a trapper build, but first i wanna see what the patch will make with the ranger ^^

It is:

Explorer’s recipes will be replaced with the Assassin’s stat combo (Precision, Power, Critical Damage)

Although unless the 1st stat is boosted so that 1 and 2 stats aren’t the same I don’t see how it is going to be any different than zerker gear. And if the power is the same on zerker gear but prec is greater on assassin gear why go zerker at all? Should just go straight assassin (assuming crit is the same % as well).

it’ll see some use mixed with berzerker
