Guild Wars 2

I’m a level 40 warrior atm, currently a full row of signets seem to work well for me, but having read the forums it seems that signet builds do not scale well to higher levels.

I think therefore that at some stage at or before 80 I’m going to have change to a different setup.

Is there some conventional wisdom about when signets cease to be a good option when levelling?

When start getting serious about doing dungeons.

L60+, when you get access to the last tier of traits.

Once you get all your regular skills(utility) and signet of rage unlocked forget about all the normal signets.

I keep seeing this, and how noobish it is.. blah blah blah.

However I have yet to see any math showing why — with the +precision trait for unused signets you can end up with, what 6-8% crit plus the passive benefit of each signet (power, prec, vigor, adren).

What’s the tradeoff? Banners, and replace +prec for unused signets with % chance to bleed on crit? I’m just not seeing it as the clear OMG NOOB selection.

Someone want to enlighten me?

Team utility such as For Great Justice and Shake It Off. As I said, its fine and dandy for solo play, but once you start getting serious about doing dungeons there are better options.

AoE mght, AoE fury, AoE condition removal, AoE speed buff.
Stability, Actual tanking not some +200 toughness that will save you once in a blue moon. Stun Breakers. If you are doing PvP with GS then frenzy is essentially a must have in a ton of cases.
