Ok I’d class myself as a casual player and I am limited with my spare time.. I only play one toon and dont have time for alts… ( would love to but can’t) therefore I’m trying not waste any time by buying/ crafting gear then changing speck all the time; needing to buy/ craft more. I play often but not for large amounts of time which means I gave up on dungeons early on due to no lfg tool which would greatly benefit me.
I am a 0/0/30/10/30 ranger using axe/torch and sword/dagger/warhorn. I want to back up my burst pets with reasonable condition damage, be good at healing and be hard to drop.
The problem is what gear I aim to have, dungeon are a no untill they implement quick way to find a group, I do dailies but find it hard to do monthlies because of dungeon runs. I have 100000+ karma so could get a couple of pieces there, but mainly j will be crafting/ buying.
I have a couple of pieces of apothecary exotics (tough/healing/condition) and aim to finish that set off probebly. I was thinking of making the same passiflora trinkets but the bigger stat on both is the healin stat, I’d rather have highest toughness, then condition, healing and then possibly vitality but I can’t see this being easy. All the other options of gear seem to have power on or precision with othe stats I want.
A couple of questions:
1) how much healing is too much? I have 800 ish so far
2)how much condition dmg is enough to do reasonable dmg? ( being a second stat to toughness. I have 1000.
3) is power and precision a wasted stat for my build?
4) if you were trying to gear my build what would you craft/buy with karma to fit with apothecary armor?
This build is for pve/wvw mainly and my traitys are mainly defensive or healing.
Sry ifthis makes no sense I can’t scroll back to see what I’ve typed- I’m writing on my phone at work, thanks
Just a quick reply, 800 healing is a good number, if you use TU for a heal it really doesn’t benefit that much from healing but is still very powerful, I think with around 300 healing it still heals around 800 a tick, at 1000 healing it’s around 950 I think (numbers pulled out of my head). Sit at around 1800 toughness and use TU proactively (rather than waiting for things to go bad) in a fight and you’ll be a hard nut to crack.
1000 condition damage is good, your bleeds will hit for around 100 each, I more than that but will sometimes tone that back a little and sit at around 1000, I also sit around 1500 power with a 20% chance to crit, crit is a very good way to get extra bleeds out a shortbow with a Sigil of Earth, it helps when you can’t get your position right.
With your use of the axe and torch you’re laying down condition damage but I’d still add the Sigil of Earth personally.
