Guild Wars 2

Alright, so for my WvW spec, I currently have 49% crit chance and 56% crit damage with my spec (20/20/30/0/0).

I’m trying to figure out which would be better optimized, that spec, or a 30/10/30/0/0 spec, which would drop my crit down to 45% and my crit damage down to 46%.

I’m having trouble determining exactly if the loss of crit chance/damage is made up by the gain in power, or if the difference is insignificant. It’s not something I’m finding easy to calculate right now lol.

Any advice would be appreciated. It’s probably a small detail but it’s driving me insane currently.

From what I’ve observed in using build calculators (I haven’t bothered to sit down and crunch it out myself), points spent in Skirmishing are always more beneficial than points spent in Marksmanship. My supposition is that the fact that Skirmishing gives you both precision and crit damage means that you are getting more bang for your buck by spending your points there.

Someone less lazy than me will hopefully confirm or refute that.

For what it’s worth, I run 0/30/5/25/10 with a mix of Soldier’s, Knight’s and Zerk’s and I have absolutely no problem keeping my power, precision, and crit damage (not to mention toughness and vit) at very respectable levels. Add in consumables, and it becomes downright deadly.

Alright thank you. I appreciate the response
