Guild Wars 2

Hello I don’t know if this is the right forum to post in (correct section) but it has come to my attention after going to each Cathedral (and The Narthex) and then researching on the web (http://dulfy.net/2012/09/08/gw2-templegod-karma-armor-sets/) that there is no exotic karma set for medium armor that provides the power/toughness/vitality base stat. I think this is a serious flaw that you guys need to look at seeing as the next best thing we’ have to settle for is Precision/Vitality/Healing, which would distribute the stats awkwardly if you’re going into a defensive build.

I have noticed that there are multiples of the same leg armor so you could possibly swap one of the vendors leg sets for the pow/tough/vit stat.

I have also noticed that there are no exotic Medium Karma Legs available from the 6 vendors in Orr with Power/Toughness/Vitality and also believe this is not intended since all other available sets are complete. 4 of the Karma vendors sell medium legs with precision/toughness/condition damage, surely at least one of those could or should have the Power/Toughness/Vitality stats.

I have held off on buying medium karma armor as of yet. I too am hoping they will rectify this before I spend my karma.

this is also the same for heavy helm

I just checked the light armor exotic karma sets as well and if I’m not mistaken only the healing/precision/vitality set is complete for light armor, the other 2 sets are missing at least one piece. (no light power/toughness/vita legs and also no precision/toughness/condition damage chest, maybe more as I probably overlooked something).
It seems that if the incomplete sets are not intended, all the exotic karma sets and vendors might have to be looked at regarding the stats.

Does anyone have any new information on whether the missing exotic karma pieces are intended? I couldn’t find anything and don’t know whether I should wait with spending my Karma.

Same issue here… Just got my Guardian’s heavy legs. Switched char to get the medium type and couldn’t find it. I also checked Dulfy.net to find out none of the vendors actually has it…

Would be great to have an official answer as to whether this is intended ( I doubt that…) or correct?

I noticed that as well. Seems to be unintentional… Would be nice to have a fix

Does anyone know if this issue was ever addressed or acknowledged by Anet? Maybe in a different thread/subforum? Thanks!

Would be nice if they adressed this issue so that people can actually get a full set with the same stat allocation instead of having to hunt all over the place and visit several temples.

Personally I would have liked it better if the stats were based on the ‘theme’ of the diety they represented and identical across each piece of that particular set. So the Armageddon armor could have had a Precision/Toughness/Condition theme on them whilst Arcon could have been the Precision/Vitality/Healing set or something along those lines… But that’s just my humble opinion.

A current workaround for the missing Power/Toughness/Vitality item (be it Heavy Helm or Medium Greaves) would be to get the Invader version from WvW; but they can only be bought with badges.

I had this problem with the temple heavy head, what i ended up doing is going to ascalon catacombs and buying that exotic helm with power toughness and vit, then buying any temple helm, and used a fine transmorphing stone to swap the skins and stats to how i wanted. You can get what you want its just more effort.

As far as I know there’s a piece missing from each stat combination’s set. For example “soldier’s” heavy is missing the helm, “rabid” light is missing the shoes, and so on. Leads me to believe this is intentional. Guess they want you to run dungeons :P

Oh yeah, I forgot about dungeons :P

So yeah, you may be right and it may be a subtle nudge to kick you into a dungeon (or WvW in case of P/T/V) to get the missing piece.
