Guild Wars 2

Hello. I’m full on berserker gear and farming new sets from pvp, mostly for skins and fun, but I thought it’d be useful to aim for gear which is not berserker since I already have it. However, when checking metabattle.com it seems like there are literally no popular builds which do not use berserker. Anyone has any tips on alternative sets to go for? I’m interested in both wvw roaming and pve (dungeons and general), and would like to go for a maybe somewhat more defensive shield based build.

Really nice what you can do by just hiding the interface and randomly hitting the print screen button every now and then.

Thanks for the answers. Could it possibly be that the sigils increase the effective critical chance but only on the attacks performed by the weapon in which it is inserted, and therefore does not display as a character stat? For example, if I put the 5% crit chance sigil into my offhand, only attacks with my offhand would benefit from it, not the damage from my utilities, main hand and trait.

Hello, I play a warrior so this question is from a warrior perspective but since I suspect it is an issue relevant to all the other classes as well I posted it here instead of the warrior forums.

I just applied two superior sigil of accuracy, which apply 5% crit chance each, one to my shield and one to my axe. However, my stats still say that my crit chance is 49%, which is what I had without boons before I applied the sigils (the upgrade slots where empty then).

As far as I know there is no cap for crit chance in guild wars 2, neither soft or hard. I’ve managed to get around 89% with other gear and fury. So does the fact that the 10% additional crit from my new sigils doesn’t appear in my stats mean that the displayed crit chance is lower than my effective crit chance, or does it mean that I’ve wasted several gold on bugged sigils?

I also noticed that the Hightened Focus trait (number V in discipline) which should increase my crit chance by 9% when I have full adrenaline, but this also doesn’t display.

So it clearly seems to me as if it’s the stats display that is bugged, but I just wanted to ask here to be sure and to get some clarification. Maybe there is something else to it I don’t understand?

Anyone knows about the human warrior set? I know it can be obtained in sPvP but is there any way to get the same skin in PvE?
