Guild Wars 2

There is no proffesion that suits me better than thief, but now I’m having some trouble mixing my loved Berserker gear with some Valkyrie gear.

I run 20/30/20/0/0 and sometimes 10/30/20/10/0 with D/D and SB.

I used to run full Berserker with two Valkyrie accesories and I was really happy with that, but I just realiced that sacrificing some precision for vitality wasn’t such a bad idea, specially with the 100% of crit while in stealth trait from CH. I bought some Valkyrie stuff and now I run with Valkyrie armor (with oryl orbs, I think), Berserker weapons (the offhand dagger and the shortbow with a sigil of precision, the mainhand dagger with a superior sigil of air) and Berserker jewels.

I wasted a good amount of gold with Eagle runes to put them in my berserker armor (this happened before I realiced Valkyrie was a good option), and with the skill that gives you extra precision I’m able to get %73 of crit chance, with the valkyrie stuff with oryl orbs I only reach %55 of crit chance when using that same skill. I know I have all that extra health from Valkyrie wich is really nice, but it seems that I just wasted gold on some runes I will never use again. Having %73 of critical chance is really good, I like that, but I do prefer the vitality over the huge amount of precision.

Should I transmute my armor to get the Valkyrie stats with the eagle runes? Or should I salvage my Berserker armor and hope to get the runes back, sell them and then buy Scholar runes? Or maybe keeping the oryl orbs would be better?

I’m really sorry about my english, it’s not perfect but I do my best lol.

Leave it as is, your gear setup is already very efficient. If you have more than 15k hp you can put some of those Zerker pieces back on and mix them to keep 50%+ crit chance and over 15k hp.

Why 15k? No special reason, it’s just a good round number for a Thief.

Valk armor, Div runes, zerk rest. Done.

Or beryl orbes instead runes. They are much more cheaper and realy usefull too.

I figured it was nice with the extra hp, so I did the same a long time ago. I kept the eagle runes just to add critical damage, since that’s really important in a build that focuses around critical hits. I’ve done some theory crafting and I figured you rarely need more than 50% critical chance. Thieves hit so fast and with the skill that gives you 100% crit chance from stealth you have your most important skill covered. Keep the critical damage high and your hp on a level you feel comfortable with

if you put 5 more points in the 1st tree you get a basically permanent +10% dmg. Do it. Also only pansies have defensive stats on their gear. MAN UP

Div runes are for ballahs.
I would use Wurm or Ruby if not div.
