Guild Wars 2

How does it perform in wvw?

And what is the maximum toughness you can get from a full Knight set?

I dont use full knights.

Yep sorry was finding the damage reduction amount.. gw2skills doesnt give it but http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/ still does (site is very outdated but it still calculates the amount of reduction.. it even have a manual input)

I played with Knight armor before, coupled with Berserker trinkets, with Hoelbrak runes. I used it both for guild runs (a standard 0/0/5/6/3 shout frontliner build) and roaming (GS/x). My armor was about 2.9k, although I sometimes buffed it up to 3.1k with Cavalier trinkets, when necessary. It worked reasonably well.

Eventually, I changed my ways:

• When running with the guild, I switched to some full Soldier armor with Trooper runes, because it was more efficient for the group (the runes for the additional dispel, and the vitality to increase the survivability a bit).
• When roaming solo, I switched to a Berserker armor with the Pack Runes, because it was more efficient as well (the faster you kill, the safer in my view). I still have around 2.5k armor, as I usually run with 6 points in Defense, and find it adequate for my (average) level of skill.

I run with full Knight armour, zerker weaps, and a mixture of zerker/cav trinkets. I play almost exclusively solo in WvW and attack literally anything and everything, probing for weak players and spreading out smaller groups, using the strengths of a mobility warrior to my advantage. I do follow pug warbands quite often however, so having a bit of damage rather than just tanking damage is useful.

For my build and playstyle it performs well… I run GS with mostly Sw/Sh but sometimes Hammer or Axe or Mace. I also use the same build with 1 or 2 minor exceptions.

Right now I’m at 3.1k armour rating. With full Knights you’d be at roughly 3.4k, but 100 of this is from the useless Thick Skin minor trait. It’s very misleading, annoying, and should be removed, Buuut I digress.

Knight’s is more useful now than before the crit dmg changes as ferocity is not the be-all-end-all stat, I feel. But I’ve only recently started playing again.
I run 187% crit damage on my build and have no problems putting out enough damage – coming across squishy players is not uncommon in WvW.

I think around 2.3K toughness is base max, but add buffs and crap and you can reach over 3K toughness at times (yes I know what armor is and that is still just toughness numbers).

How it performs is subjective. you can pretty much walk through a zerg, but lack damage to make an impact. most run combo gear I think. Full knights lack the ferocity to take advantage of all that crit IMO.
