Guild Wars 2

Well, as some of you may know, there is a new armor type coming out called ‘Dire’ and it has condition damage, toughness and vitality. Using this combination with 0/0/30~/10~/30~ would be good right? Also the traits can be changed around to have 15 in acrobatics for felines grace, you can drop more caltdrops on dodge, and stack might(with the gain might on dodge trait)…
Also remember you can stack might with 25 in shadow arts, making already inflicted conditions do more damage(as well as the dodge).

I would like to test this build out, but what would you guys recommend? Is this good or a bad idea?

In regards to the armor type, I’ve waited a long time for Anet to release a Vitality/Toughness/Condition armor. All my trinkets are ascended with this stat combo, and with this addition, I should be able to hit 19-20K health, and 2.9-3K Armor.

My Thiefsmer Build would work well with Dire armor

I don’t get the hype over it. Vitality is a buffer, and once that buffer is depleted you’re done. Healing Power on the other hand is virtually infinite and increases your effective HP exponentially as the fight goes on. Vitality only outshines healing power in the first 20 seconds of your average fight, which when playing conditions will be far less than the length of your own average fight. I encourage you to try apothecary gear first.

Healing power scales extremely well with toughness. A basic course in mathematics might teach you that.
