Guild Wars 2

Greetings,

Pretty new to game, level 77 right now and was taking a look at some of the 80 gear and wasn’t happy with what I saw, or at least the lack there of.
During leveling I struggled for a while until I got full sets of gear with the following stats on each piece.
+Vit
+Toughness

After which while the damage was not superb my survivability was awesome and I prefer a more tanky approach.

Once I hit about 50 I haven’t seen a single piece with both those stats on it together so I had to made due and went towards a more offensive build to complement what’s available. I admit however I dislike the build and dps approach very much compared to the more tanky setup I had being able to survive long fights or long kites.
Now that I’m approaching 80 I checked the market for each piece of armor. None of which have both of those stats. What gives?

If that’s truly not an option. What would you recommend in terms of stats to shoot for? I’ve been going with +power and precession, but mainly because I was forced to after 45.

I should note this is mainly for PVE, mostly solo with grouping once in a while. PVP is a zerg fest and a lot of chasing, not really my cup of tea for style of PVP so I’ve only spent like 3 hours in wvw, perhaps a little more in the near future but not much.

Thanks!

Pretty sure one of the karma vendors in orr sell what you are looking for.

Or you could just mix knight with valkyrie or carrion.

Have you advanced the personal story much?

If you side with the Vigil, you get access to gear at lvl 80 that has Power, Toughness, and Vitality on it.

I don’t know if the other factions have the same itemization or not, but you might want to research it. Additionally you might look around for other armor sets, perhaps dungeons or culturals, that have the same itemization. Vigil is the only one I knew off the top of my head.

Thanks guys for the advice i’ll look in to that from both of those directions. Much appreicated, really!

Happy to help, good hunting!

I found if those pieces are too expensive Karma wise a good combination of Valkyrie and Knight gear from crafting is awesome.
