Guild Wars 2

I have a full exotic gear with power primary and secondary vit/toughness. These pieces have superior rune of the fighter (power/toughness). My trinkets are all beserker’s with beserker jewels in them too (power/crit/crit dmg). Yet I still have only 20k hp and 2.8k armor with 3.4k attack and 34% crit (running 30/20/20/)
I saw this one guy with full beserker’s armor but runes of divinity instead (+10 to all stats) would I get overall better stats with this build?

My PvE stats are as follows:

24k health
3.2k armor
40% crit chance
3.3k attack

Armor: All “Soldier” type (Power + Vit + Toughness) with crests of the soldier.
Weapons: All Knight (Prec + Power + Toughness) with various sigils.
Trinkets: All Emerald with Emerald Jewels (Prec + Power +Toughness)
Spec: 20/20/0/10/20

Berserker gear is EXTREMELY overrated. You get better crit chance from rampaged/knight, better crit damage from Valkyrie, and better power from Soldier. All of these options bring survivability stats to the table as well.

Not bad at all just that 10 points in tactics..

May have to try that, thanks!

Leg Specialist + Opportunist can give 100% uptime on fury for 20% extra crit chance bringing me to 60%.

Inspiring Banners can give me and my entire team 100% uptime on 5% crit chance and 10% crit damage. As well as 90% uptime on swiftness while repositioning.

That and the 1k bonus health and 10% duration increase on boons like might, fury, and swiftness is nothing to laugh at.

Thought you went carry build >_>

Nvm. Works on WvW better than in sPvP though.

Works the same in s/tPvP…

PvP stats:
27k health
3k armor
48% crit chance
3.4k attack

Same 20/20/0/10/20 build. Also leg specialist makes my carry/roamer very hard to get away from.

Berserker’s is great. In the hardest PvE content in the game, taking hits is just simply not an option, and killing the enemy quickly gives you less time to screw up.

Your gear setup is good though(maybe knights would be better than PVT for armor..), but I think your trait setup could be better. Try something like 25/25/0/10/10 for glass cannon, or 20/25/15/0/10(maybe stick 10 points into tactics from somewhere) for adrenal health.

edit: i’m referring to the OP btw

What’s the difference between crests orbs and runes and which are best?

o and jewels too

Don’t take the 25 from str, the minor trait is useless, get adrenal health instead.

My main set is full berserk (4xogre/2xdivinity) with beryl/emerald rings/earrings and 2nd set is the same as yours pow/vit/tough (5xfighter/1xdivinity). Berserk works everywhere, 2nd set is for “tanking” parts in some dungeons and wvwvw. Your gear is totally viable and fine, just finetune it a bit based on your needs.

say what now? Valkyrie and berserker both have the same crit damage. If anything, berserker gives more due to higher precision. You’re discounting berserker gear too much. But I guess if you suck at dodging, you would.

Thinly veiled personal attacks and logical fallacies asside, I stand corrected. Valkyrie has the exact same crit damage as Berserker, but also provides Vit which is hard to get.
