And what I am looking for is damage with some survivability. Should I aim for power or precision? As I can see on the tables there, I cant combine them both…
Combine karma armor (Power /T/V ) with bersek jewel set.
Use knight or bersek helment since there is no P/T/V one and ruby orbs on armor.
valky /bers weapons.
Rayya is talking about the Karma armor equivalent to the Soldier’s prefix (Power, Toughness, Vitality) Dwayna and Melandru will have 4 of the 6 pieces. Use the table on this page to break down what piece comes from what temple. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats#Karma
There is no temple medium leg armor(Rayya was thinking about heavy armor for helm) that has those stats, so you can get it from WvW tokens or dungeons.
You will gain the survivability of higher hp pool and armor, but your crit rate will suffer with lower prec. I think you can trait around that with Hidden Killer to always crit on Backstabs, for a dagger build. If you want to balance survivability with more offense consider using Berserker’s armor in your glove, shoulder and boots slots, as they have the lowest stat point trade off per % crit dmg at 12 stat points. You won’t be able to buy them with karma though.
5 stat points – upgrade slot of trinkets and backpack
7 points – Ascended Back Piece
8.5 stat points – Ascended Rings
8.7 stat points – Ascended Earrings
9.4 stat points – Ascended Amulet
10 stat points- traits (not an equipment, but listed for comparison)
12 stat points – glove, shoulder and boots
12.8 stat points – 1H weapons and amulet
13.33 stat points – Earring
14 stat points – Backpack (rare version from guild armorsmith)
14.22 stat points – 2H weapons
14.4 stat points – Coat
16 stat points – Ring, helm and legging
What this means is, you lose less minor stat points by going for berserker gear higher on the list if you are making a balanced build…
Buy chests in Orr, sell the goodies and buy yourself a nice mixed set of valkyrie and knight’s armor with all berserker jewelry. I recommend zerker weapons.
