Armor is practically useless because the diminishing returns on toughness are to the extreme

This is just not true. If you have 3k armor and add 200, you gain 6.25% damage reduction. If you have 3.2k armor and gain 200 armor, you get 5.8% damage reduction. That’s only .45% less. Yes, it does diminish. But it’s not “practically useless” because the diminishing returns are “extreme.”

What is true is that you do have to sacrifice damage stats (specifically, crit damage, and to a lesser extent power and precision) if you want the highest possible armor.

Furthermore, the fact that you got beasted by a thief shouldn’t be a surprise. That’s what thieves are good at. This isn’t anything new. If the conditions were different and it was a zerg v zerg situation or even party v party, that’s not something that would happen easily. You have to really work to get that kind of a kill anywhere but solo.

No.Actually,this kind of thief have to sacrifice many survival stats in order to burst u like this.The only reason OP died with his guardian was because of bad play and bad perception.I could swear that the last time I got hit by a 9k backstab,the thief died with a Zealot’s Embrace,3 hits and a MB in the face.
He cries that he got bursted because of armor,but seriously just look at his selected skills.WoR=abosolutely useless outside of a zerg and then he picks 2 removal conditions plus Signet of Resolve that removes conditions and im also pretty sure that he has at least 20-30 points in Valor meaning that he has purity(remove condition every 10 sec) on top.This skills would work on a zerg fight,but its probably not a zerg case instead it was like “hey im wandering in the WvW going to a camp,why dont I change my skills,OH kitten A THIEF 3 SHOT ME DOWN AND I COULDNT EVEN REACT BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO REACT WITH”.Condition removal overkill instead of skills that grant Protection,Retaliation and Block.Do not try to justify people that cry on the forums because they are just bad.

So it all started last night when I decided to create a Norn lvl 2 PvP character and transfer my PvP items to him.I logged on my main and started to unequip my items to put them in my PvP locker,finished doing that and proceed to press the “Deposit all collectibles” option.Logged in my alt character went to the Mist and started picking up my stuff from the PvP locker when suddenly I couldn’t find my PvP Svanir Greatsword.

I sent a ticket about it and still nothing.So I am trying in the forums,maybe ill get more attention here.Any ideas?Is this a game bug or something that happened completely random to me…

PS:To avoid grammar nazis:English is not my mother tongue if u find anything related to my grammar keep it for urself please,thanks.
