In my opinion, it's better to craft the gear so that you don't have to waste a lot of gold for getting that exotic gear. It may be the slower method, but it's cheaper than just buying the gear/weapons from the trading post. As for what stats to craft/buy, go with berserker gear. It's a lot faster to kill mobs with power damage than it is with That said, exotic can be acquired very easily, and cheaply on the trading post. Exotic is only 5% behind ascended gear, so its fine for everything except the high end fractals (thanks to the stupid agony system).

Mistforged Alternative. In this guide I will cover everything you need to know and the process to make a full legendary armor set from World vs World. In this example I'd get one of the +10% max HP runes. You'll be a very beefy glassy thing that can do just about anything really. The how is really just time or crafting. Save up those grandmaster marks you get from the pips. It's cheaper to make if you use those. If you keep doing WvW you're bound to get a few ascended armor or weapon chests As with all trinkets, Living World Season 3 (and to some extent now 4) are your best approach: Guild Wars 2 MMORPG Role-playing video game MMO Gaming. 12 comments.
