Guild Wars 2

I’m level 35 Shiro/Mallyx S/A build; doing a bit of stance swapping. Invocation 3.1.1. What’s a good balance between precision and ferocity? Because of the fury gains, is ferocity a somewhat wasted stat?

At a higher level ferocity is more important since precision has a cap (that’s easy to achieve).
Usually power is preferred.
If you want to know which stat you should invest in you can use sites like http://gw2power.com/ to maximize your effective power.
You can also use spreadsheets and macros for a higher accuracy.

If you are below level 80 just take whatever strong/honed equipment you can or berserker when available.

Also I’m not sure if you are confused but precision increases critical chance and ferocity critical damage. Fury increases critical chance.

Thanks for the advice and clarification. Based on this spec, is there any reason to add any critical chance? It seems that if I play it well and swap stances appropriately, that my critical chance is near to 100%, right?

Yes, there is no need for any critical chance beyond what beserker and rolling mists can provide. The minor amount that would be missing can be obtained through warrior banner or ranger spotter.
