Guild Wars 2

So, as a warrior player which armour set e.g. Zojja’s or Ahamid’s (Power, precision, ferocity or Power, toughness, vitality etc) do you prefer in high level Fractals? Do you think it’s better to go for full Zerk or balance between good dps and defensive stats?

I want to start focusing on Fractals with my friend. At the moment we are at level 4 and have started gathering mats for our ascended armour. We would like to know experienced Fractal player’s opinion on their preferred ascended armour set (stat wise) for high level fractal, low level fractal and fractals overall. This goes without saying, ideally an armour set that best contributes to dungeon party effort overall.

Also, few tips for Fractals will be much appreciated.

Especially for FotM, it’s the worst place you can think of to ever ever use vitality/toughness attributes. With 1-shot mechanics, the attributes do almost nothing to help you survive while at the same time drastically reducing the damage you inflict (by not having precision/ferocity), and making the fight take longer. Also, having PVT would be making super useful foods like omnom pies/candied dragon rolls (lifesteal on crit) not work much.

Think about it realistically — none of us are perfect players, so doesn’t it seem reasonable to assume that the longer an encounter is, the more opportunity there is for you to make mistakes? With 1-shot mechanics, that means death.

In short, always use DPS builds/gear. Get berserker.

fractal/dungeons in this game is all zerk all the time no exceptions.

I used to use a few piece of Knights pre-fractal 50 cap. Being able to take a second hit at those stupid high, now non-existant, levels was worth a small damage sacrifice.

But now, Berserker with some extra Berserker.
