Guild Wars 2

I’m a level 80 thief, with full Berserker’s Armour & Accessories, Rings etc.

After having run several dungeons recently, and played a bit of Fractals it seems that my survivability is well under par. I’m so used to the glass cannon way of playing in other MMOs, that I have failed to give myself much survivability other than what I have in my traits.

I decided that I should perhaps leave my Berserker’s Armour to one side, and replace it all with Soldier’s Armour, which gives Power/Toughness/Vitality. This way I’ll still get a DPS increase with the +power, but also some nice survivability aswell (hopefully).

The only problem is, having checked the Trading Post for armour with these stats, there isn’t a single piece of Exotic 80 armour with them on the TP.

Therefore, do you guys know of any other way of acquiring this particular type of armour? Preferably the easiest/cheapest way possible.

Thanks guys, and of course if you feel the need to add any advice or suggestions, I would gladly welcome it!

Orr temples, some dungeons and www badges.

Yep, from temples in Orr and from WvW.

If you roll a backstab build it may be nice to go with some Valkyrie or Cavalier pieces too.

With the exception (if I remember correctly) of leggings, you can get a full set of PVT armor from the temples in Orr for 42,000 karma each item, and you can of course equip it with appropriate runes from the trading post to buff it further.

ascalonian catacombs merchant in lion’s arch also sells p/v/t. all of them. as the person above mentioned the Orr karma leggings dont exist for whatever kitten reason, so i ran AC a few times to get the tears for the pants. it’s a good alternative if you dont want to hunt through all the Orr temples piecing together your p/v/t gear

unfortunately toughness doesnt get very far on a thief :P…..better off using evades/invis as your defense with blinds and heals.
