My condition Mesmer has full Rabid armour (Perc+/Tough/Con), full Rampager jewellery and weapons (Perc+/Str/Con).
However it may depend on your style of play in which is the best. I depend much more on crits for applying my conditions (Sword+Pistol/GSword) than say, a Sceptre/Staff wielding condition Mesmer, so all that Precision is really needed. I find that the toughness given from the Rabid armour is very satisfactory for survivability (especially so with a main hand sword).
Short answer: Stat distribution depends entirely on how you play your Mesmer. Rampager for all out damage, Carrion sacrificing crit rate for survivability, and Rabid sacrificing Power for survivability.

That would completely kill the strategy of cutting off reinforcements if you could magically get right back into the action. Also, the punishment for death in this game is already mild enough in many people’s opinions.
I like the idea of week long matches. I also believe that you should not be able to transfer servers and play the current match up. As much as I don’t like the idea 24 hour matches, if server transfers aren’t restricted at all then maybe 24 hour matches are the way to go… unfortunately.
@ Wiazardauz
I was referring to a previous match, a few weeks ago now when mentioning orb hacking. No big deal at the moment, I think we’ve all had that kind of thing happen to us (honest players on all servers) several times by now.
@ Supersun
I wouldn’t be so confident in making that kind of assumption about any server. Their have been hackers jumping from server to server with all the other fair weather pvpers and botters. You would be safer to make the claim that every single server has hacked orbs rather than claiming that one has not.
So far the only bad sportsmanship I’ve seen has been from Ehrmy Bay. From setting up trebuchets apparently inside their safe zone in their citadel, to people like Summer Drowspyder of the guild “Thanks For Trying Come Again [IWIN]” exploiting through walls to destroy siege in critical towers for the past 6 hours straight.

I know that it is mainly just individuals seemingly trying to give you guys a bad reputation.. but come on guys, let’s try to make this a fun and fair match. I know it isn’t a fair generalization, but I’m starting to think of you guys as orb hackers (previous matchup with EBay)and exploiters.
Let us hope for a resolution, whether it be patch, bans, or even boredom/change of heart on part of the hackers/exploiters. For the most part this match has been a fun match up, although threatened by the mentioned lack of sportsmanship.
@fivekiller et al
Ok thanks for the in game pms and responses here ITT. Guess it must have just been little bugs or what have you that resulted in the alters being broken. That is understandable, I just wanted to make sure that that issue was raised.
@etsmith
I try to add the bots to my normal wvw objectives when hitting camps/supply in small groups. Unfortunately today it seemed like there were a lot more bots, and a lot of Yaks guarding the bots than other days, so my team wasn’t able to get the bot’s operator to rage quit the map. Usually we run into the bot operator trying to defend/res his bots and hunt him down, but this time I am pretty sure that it was your bored spawn campers, deciding to camp for bot hunters. Just an fyi for you guys….. hopefully Anet can put a stop to these ridiculous 1 day free transfers and make it harder for both the WvW bot operators and server hoppers to ruin the balance.
Anyways, have fun with the rest of the match, and best of luck to everyone in the next.
I have the understanding that orbs cannot be taken from their alters by friendlies. However, just five minutes ago on Sorrow’s borderland Yak Bend was able to transfer their orb from the Garrison to the keep next to their spawn.
Tried to make my way over to screenshot some guild tags, but was too far away.
Same issue here. Mistfire wolf did not become available after upgrading to the Digital Deluxe (on my level 70 main character). Also, as a side note, the Tome of Glory didn’t give any Glory… less of an issue, but still a bug related to the Deluxe upgrade.
