Guild Wars 2

I personally go with toughness over vitality. Having a high HP is nice to absorb burst damage and conditions. After I reached about 16k HP I started focusing on toughness. Removing conditions is easy as a guard and our heals and any other heals from any source are never going to fill that 20k+ HP bubble.
Considering that we can removed conditions and most heals will come from regens, the toughness is a better stat to stack..everyone has a different play style though..you may find comfort in having a 20k+ HP bubble.

I see no downside.

80-160 per stone..even more – it’s a grind, but a reasonable one, and gold sellers would lose so much business.

I had a really hard time sticking with my thief early on as a D/D – P/D.

My issue was I was being torn apart, even when fighting lower level mobs.

I retraited and at ~L20 I dumped all my points into Shadow Arts first, then into Acrobatics.

My gear is toughness/vitality with runes for +condition dmg/duration. My jewelry was made with power/precision to round things out.

After these changes Im really enjoying the D/D. Blossom is always awesome, the cloak and dagger is great..

I run around with mostly sigils for the passive effect since the weapon skills are usually enough. Caltrops are nice for when you get more than a couple..or just to add extra bleeding dmg for a veteran kill.

This may not be the best route to take, but It was like night and day after going with this.

Same things on Yak’s Bend..

I thought, well maybe If I clear all the events around the area – but Razen the Raider just sits there. I’ve even tried training mobs to him, have him die hoping for a reset – nothing
