Guild Wars 2

It’s a weapon. Weapons are OFFENSIVE – therefore offensive infusions. See was that so hard to understand?

Please thank me now for this awesome leap of logic.

I can’t wait for Ascended armor to come out and see all the QQ’ng that their armor which is DEFENSIVE only comes with defensive slots.

Oh joy.

Highlighted your problem for you right there.

Pop reflects when he drops out of stealth. Problem solved.

Lets just face it and call it what it is – a nerf. The days of 6k zerker hits are gone.

You want skins? Stop doing lowbie fractals and go do 48.

They did finally fix the Sharper Images trait though.

The bleed stacks don’t go away anymore when the illusion is killed/shattered

Slurgi.8761:

If you are gonna have any zerker stats gear – you should have it on your weapon, due to the fact that the ratio between crit dmg % and other stats is higher on the weapon.

If you dont wanna re-skin the GS you have, run CoF until you get 390 Flame Legion Charr Carvings, buy another GS with Zerker stats and re-skin that one

I am personally running 6/6 Knights with Zerker GS / Soldier S/S and Zerk/Valk stats on my ascendent gear… I found this to be the best setup vs Zerker D/D Thief, and my sole purpose in life is to kill those kittens!

The gear you pick is really based on you playstyle, so go to the “find your build” thread and see if you can find a build that you like (or something close to what you already have) and check out the recommended gear for that build.

Hopefully this answers your Q! =)

If you are running 6/6 knight armor and zerker GS and looking to maximize your crit damage then sad to say you are doing it all wrong.

Here is a quick look at how much crit damage each stat point is worth for each piece (credits to Strife025 from guru)

5 stat points – upgrade slot of trinkets and backpack
7 points – Ascended Back Piece
8.5 stat points – Ascended Rings
8.7 stat points – Ascended Earrings
9.4 stat points – Ascended Amulet
10 stat points- traits (not an equipment, but listed for comparison)
12 stat points – glove, shoulder and boots
12.8 stat points – 1H weapons and amulet
13.33 stat points – Earring
14 stat points – Backpack (rare version from guild armorsmith)
14.22 stat points – 2H weapons
14.4 stat points – Coat
16 stat points – Ring, helm and legging

As you can see 2H weapons like the GS have rather terrible crit damage ratios.

At FOTM38 we just have the 2 squishiest party members die on the button. The remaining 3 run in 2 kite the mobs out while the last one works the panel. Pretty easy really.

People buy these for the skin. Nobody who buys these cares about what rarity they are or what level they are. They could be a 0 stat white item and people will still buy them at their current price.

I don’t see why this is so hard to understand and why some people just can’t grasp the concept…

Is it just me or is having all the skills in this kit be ground targeted AOE’s really painful to play with the constant mindless button spam. Wouldn’t it be possible to change even at least just the 1 skill to a regular auto-attack that throws the grenades at your target.

Everytime i get the underwater fractal and see how the grenade kit behaves underwater i can’t help but go “ kitten now this is how it should be”. It would be so much easier to play and be a tremendous quality of life improvement for engineers.

Just let me salvage ascended rings into Vials/Globs/Shards of Mist Essence already. All my alts even those that have never set foot in a fractal are ascended geared already.
