Guild Wars 2

The plan:
After working my way through dungeon after dungeon in AC, I have finally put together my entire tough/vit set.

My plan is to put together a decent amount of survivability, but balance that with damage output via power. This way I can enter melee range in dungeons.

As such I intent to trait 30 into Markmanship, 30 into Nature, 5 BM, and 5 WS. This would involve slotting spirits in 7 and 8 and keeping quickness or something else in 9.

The needed advice:
I am torn as to what type of jewelry to slot. Should I finish out with some toughness or vitality trinkets, or perhaps slot all dps gear here? If anyone has any expereience/ thoughts on this or the above I would appreciate hearing it.

Notes:
I currently run sword/torch (auto attack off) and longbow offhand. I am considering other offhand options.

Thanks!

If you are looking to have some extra survivability while focusing primarily on damage I would probably have just gone with power/precision or power/cd gear while using the upgrade slots to get toughness and vitality.

If you already have the toughness-vitality gear, I don’t really know what to tell you as I haven’t done anything with that.

You will obviously be sacrificing damage, but it really depends on what exactly you want from your character, and how you personally play the game. You might look into Valkyrie gear.

I run with power, toughness, vitality set from AC and I use all Berserker gear (power, precision, crit damage) on my accessories and weapons. It works out incredibly well.

i’m running knights set. with beserker and carrion upgrades. knights is nice because it boosts power and precision while still forcing survivability through toughness.

i believe i’m around 20k hp, 28k armor, 3k dmg, 1k condition, ~40% crit ratr
