PvE Gear Calculator?

I mainly do WvW and occasionally PvE, currently running a P/D – D/D Condition build and I am putting together a complete set of exotic gear to try out a somewhat crit based / balanced D/D – S/D build, but I am unable to find a good calculator that has any gear selection other than PvP. Does anyone here know of a good PvE gear calculator or a decent spreadsheet that is out there?

I really want to play around with some different gear choices prior to making everything. Because I am going to be mixing gear with % Crit Damage ( Valkyrie or Berserker’s) and non % Crit Damage (Soldier’s / Karma PVT, Knight’s) I put together the following priority based on the ratios listed in http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Item_nomenclature#Comparison_of_numeric_vs._percentage_attributes

1. 1:5 Ratio (BEST for % crit items)

  • Jewels (x6)

2. 1:12 Ratio

  • Other Armor (x3)
    * Shoulders
    * Gloves
    * Boots

3. 1:13 Ratio

  • 1h Weapon (x2)
  • Amulet
  • Accessory / Earing (x2)

4. 1:14 Ratio

  • Chest
  • 2H Weapons (N/A)

5. 1:16 Ratio (WORST / Most loss going % crit)

  • Legs
  • Head
  • Rings (x2)
  • Back Item

If you have done similar calculations what tool did you use? If I don’t find anything I will just put it all in a spreadsheet as most, if not all, of the formulas are probably posted in the wiki.

I’d ask this question in the General forum as it seems to apply to any class and it may get more views/replies. I’d like to know if there is a PVE build calc as well.

gw2buildcraft.com is the only site that I know of, but sometimes I question its accuracy. I also use the spreadsheet found here. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/136aa7/pve_gear_calculatorefficiency_optimizer/

Thanks you guys, http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/ was exactly what I was looking for. It does not calculate the stats perfect, and lacks a save option but it’s good enough for what I need Much appreciated!

If you see something not adding up in the above calculator, then please report it to the author. This is by far the best calculator on the web. Also keep in mind that it assumes most passive and active traits are active in its final calculations, so it’s really a “best case senario”.

How can we contact the author? The contact us button don’t seem to work. I found an error: If for example you put 2 sigils of Agony, it states the second one has no effect because is a duplicate, but I know because I’ve been using it for a long time and tested it multiple times, that 2*Agony Sigils will stack and give you +20% bleed duration.

Edit: Nevermind, I found his mail and sent him the info :P
