Guild Wars 2

I’m still stuck.
I have decided to use my full Berserker set (w/ ruby) and stored my Knight.
I’m trying to decide on what type of ascended accessory to buy.

I’m torn between the following:
1. Cavalier
2. Cavalier/Knight Mix
3. Berserker
4. Celestial (Is this a viable option? Some people round out their armor w/ divinity so I was just thinking about it)

Please tell/link/show me your builds and explain why you chose the accessory.
Thanks guys!

I bought Call of The Wild which I believe corresponds to Berserker.

Yes it does. Nice.
What gear do you use overall and what build?
Also, do you think it’s worth getting amulet first or save for accessory/ring?

If you’re all new to the considerably more punishing full berserker

I’d start out with Knight’s Head, chest, legs and rings and Berserker’s gloves, boots, shoulders, accessories, back, amulet and weapons everything with ruby orbs/jewels, unless you prefer a runeset (orbs are cheaper and provide more damage though, runes have utility)

The reason why I’d do this is simple.
Look at Exquisite Ruby and emerald Jewel. the former has a total of 40 statpoints and 3% critdmg the latter has 55 statpoints, which means you trade 5 statpoints per critdmg.

If you do the same comparison for berserker’s and knight’s chest. you’ll see that you trade 14.4 statpoints for each critdmg (you get 5 critdmg on berserker chest whereas you’d get 72 of another stat on knight’s)

Effectively, doing this you get more stats overall, you’re not as squishy and it doesn’t do whole lot to your aggro management, if you start to feel comfortable with this gear, switch to more berserker’s.

As a direct answer: Ascended is the best source of critdmg disregarding jewels iirc, so grab that and get defensive stats on another item if you need those. (and get amulet with laurels, since you can only get it with laurels.)

I’m not entirely new, but just kind of trying to work out a new build.
Also, I have full Draconic Knight and Berserker to mix and match.
I was thinking of going Berserker armor Berserker accessories all Ruby for things I’m comfortable with and Knight armor Berserker accessories all Ruby for things I might make a few mistakes in.

I wonder though, it Knight armor w/ Berserker Accessory better or Berserker armor w/ Cavalier accessory… hmmm

Also, I don’t want to “try” anything with ascended as Laurel farming is restricted lol

Thanks for the direct answer.
I’ll probably get berserker ascended.
Also, what is iirc? lol

“If I recall correctly”
You’re welcome.

Knight armour/weapons.

Berserker accessories.

I’m seriously considering ditching my Knight stuff; what’s the point of Toughness in PvE for Warrior? Better be a Berserker and not draw aggro…

What the hell? Am I that out of mainstream already?
I’m only 22 and in my last semester of college…
Seriously though, this is getting a bit excessive.
Lol, wtf, cya, etc… those I know… but what the hell is IIRC?

Next think you know, people will be saying, “BRBIHTTAC”
Which translates to “be right back I have to take a crap.”
I’ll probably figure it out after you’re done T_________T

Oh, and thanks

“BRBIHTTAC” – catchy…
