Guild Wars 2

…Mostly the armor, because in terms of jewelry I have a lot of full sets: for a power Thief which would be the best choice, Valkyrie or Marauder? And in a condition build, Viper or something tankier like Dire or Trailblazer?

Thanx in advance.

Marauder is very very good. Gives you extra stats and enough health to give you a bit of survival and survive berserker’s bursts. I suggest Marauders

I have a mix of marauder and valkyrie for power, with dire and trailblazer for condi. In either case I’d consider 17-18k health a minimum, I have 21k on both builds because I pretty much don’t lose anything by doing so.

I love the idea of viper thief, and it had some potential with carrion trinkets to round out the health, but it had lower condi damage than I’d like due to not having high vit/toughness to scale the food & crystals with, and while the power damage was something it wasn’t significant enough imo (2k on a sneak attack with P/D, dependant on crits). Maybe if a new weapon is introduced with better physical damage but still using condis it would work better, but right now you’re gimping yourself by not taking dire with trailblazer thrown in for duration, it’s that good.

If you plan on using Exuberance (often underrated), Valk for sure. Otherwise the DPS of Marauders is difficult to ignore.

Hybrid builds use Viper for sure. Straight condi builds go with Trailblazer.

Berserker with Scholar Runes! More fun. Use two Marauder trinkets and you got 14k HP, that should be enough.

Ascended armor is so expensive, just use one set for WvW and PvE.
