Guild Wars 2

I’m going FULL knight Melandru runes and want to know what number does toughness begin to be useless?

Around 3k. But if you do melandru+knight/cavalier you can get like 4k. Soooo hard to die especially with HS/adrenal

Dude, my man, theres no such thing as too much toughness.
Here’s what ya do: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJAsejkOBwFPuQQxBA0jryaLThfSPCjs1A-jQCBIigYiA03g8CApnFRjtspIasadER1KGYOFFRrWKALmGB-e

Get a party with a guardian that’s running Strength in Numbers along with Battle Presence and Absolute Resolution. Make sure an elementalist is in that group who stays in Water attunement a lot and has Soothing Mist heal for at least 1k and get some other poor soul to Hold your Banner of Tactics for regen to the whole group.
You can literally stand in one spot getting blasted by stacks of Agony and not die

Probably one of the worst fractal statements I’ve ever read, just get the proper AR and win.

I may have been exaggerating slightly

if you are talking about WvW there is simplified fact: toughness counter power.
2000 power vs 2000 toughness will hit same as 3000 power vs 3000 toughness

You dont need any toughness in PvE – just burst everything down.

I have between 3500 and 3900 toughnes as warrior in wvsw and play small group fights 5 vs 5 or 15 vs 15 , I wouldn’t lower it more than 3500.

This is the damage formula so you make a view :
weapon strenght (ascended sword has 950-1050) x power(let’s say 2000) x skill specific coeficient (sever artery has 0.6 http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sever_Artery ) / all / target armor ( let’s say target has 3000)

If you don’t score a critical hit , the damage you will do to a 3000 armor will be : 1050×2000×0.6/3000 = 420
In case you crit you will do 1.50 x 420 = 630 ( in case you have standard critical damage of 150%)

Also I think you can get an average of target armor if you use this math like in http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Damage

“Direct damage is listed on skill tooltips with the Damage icon. Skill tooltip direct damage is given by the following formula:
Tooltip damage = (average weapon strength) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (level-based Armor value)”

Move in game mouse over tooltip of weapon skill while targeting and you will see it changes from target to target.

So , finaly , yes more armor is better, also mobility, etc …etc

And I also use at this momment meleandru with knight …. in w vs w
