Guild Wars 2

In the new update they announced:
“All existing drops and crafting recipes that have created Magic Find gear will be replaced with three new combos:

Explorer’s recipes will be replaced with the Assassin’s stat combo (Precision, Power, Critical Damage)"

Will this armor be better for dps thief than bersekers?

W/ full zerkers, food, and the fury gotten from traits we pretty much have enough precision already. In the Assassin’s stat power will be reduced, so IMO, no it won’t be better DPS.

with coming ascended weapons you already will be well over needed crit rate in full zerker gear

crit above 50% is already good, you need power and more power,the hidden killer trait is already good enough.

20 from fury, 7 from behind, 5 while above 90% health, 9 from signet = you need 59% crit rate to not lose any. full zerker gear, scholar runes, power infusions, bloodlust and sigil of force + 30 in critical strikes would put you to 101% crit chance total while behind enemy and over 90% health. With ascended weapons I suspect is will go to 103%. There is just no way you need more precision. Unless you will get like double of the current max crit damage.

assasin dps<<berserker dps
But 100% crit without fury very interesting for sword/x builds.
