It’s not like you can’t recreate the armour anyway. :s
“WHAT? YES it is poor game design you blind fanboi. They need to polish some aspects of the game to give instruction as to the effect of some of the choices we make rather than force us to make the choices blindly…that would be boring to you, huh? Get real.
They should tell us the import of the choices we make so that we can make an informed decision. It would not be all that difficult to explain the significance of the choice..even if you then had to look up whether the additional crit is something you would want on the Wiki….. With no explanation as to the effect of your choice, you are simply pushing a button with no idea of the effect that the choice has on your character. YES…the failure to explain the significance of the choice is POOR game design…take off the rose colored glasses.”
With no explanation as to the effect of your choice, actually the game leaves you with the choice to either inform yourself or play the game as it was intended: on what feels like the best choice to you regardless of the uniform or potential stat boosts. This is what simply every choice-based game is designed around, I call to example InFamous, the entire Persona series, the entire Disgaea series, and many more. When you played through Fallout: New Vegas, did the game tell you what you’d get depending on which faction you picked? No, it did not. In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, does it give you the different outcomes for the different speech options before you pick them? No, it does not. I care not for your accusations of fanboyism, simply because I make a sound point. You argue in favour of the game holding your hand the entire game through? Great! Go play a different game then.
It’s not poor game design, it’s just game design.
How many games do you know tell you exactly what happens whenever you make a choice in said game? Not any game I’d play, that’d be boring as hell.
The wikipedia is there for a reason. When you create your character, you don’t know what skills he’ll or stats have until you look it up or play the game as said class. Is this poor design? No it’s just the game.
While I’m sure this build works for you, Defektive, I must say I agree with Yssta. Warrior IS made for pure damage and using condition damage on it as main damage rather than absolute damage is gimicky.
You’re better off with a thief, mesmer or necro if you’re speccing into condition damage, since these classes also do it better.
