Guild Wars 2

Hello. I just hit level 80 a couple of days, and I immediately bought an exotic knight set- My traits are 5/25/5/30/0, GS is power, toughness and vit aswell as Axe/Mace, all accessories are berserker’s, skills are HS, SiO, OMM, FGJ, SoR. In solo PvE content everything is fine, but in dungeons I find my self far squishier than other warrior.
Should I go for +vit rather than +toughness on armor, or should I change my accesories, or the skillset to something like banners?

Knights armor is a good pick. Do you have runes of the soldier too? That plus your traits will put you at 23k health. That’s plenty. Do you have a back piece?

For more durability, I’d recommend switching traits to: 0/25/15/30/0. Damage on dodge roll is a waste of points when you can get adrenal health. Also, the defense trait of adrenaline on getting hit helps build adrenaline

Neither, full zerker.
I wasted so much gold on Tou/Vit gear just to find out stats won’t protect you in this game.
Warrior is all about evading damage and dealing extreme DPS; anything else is gimping yourself.

I disagree. I have full zerker soldier and knights sets I can swap to as needed. While I would agree that the soldiers is not worth it (got the AC set so it was cheep) Knights does provide significant durability over zerkers. While zerkers does more damage the drop down to knights is reasonable and you can take alot more hits in the knights. While you want to avoid damage as much as possible sometimes, particuarly if useing double melee sets, you need to be able to take more than 1 auto attack swing on the chin without going down. Both have their uses but knights will be alot more forgiving for a newbie.

OP I wouldnt bother too much with Vit for PVE. Tough lowers damage taken while vit increases HP pool. Unfortunatly heals do not scale with a larger HP pool so tough will give you a higher effective health when you factor in healing.

Sure seems this way to me too.
