Hi,
im pretty new to this game, so this question might be dumb but im looking at the trinkets from the laurel merchant and many of the items have the exact same stats, for example the Crystalline Band and the Ring of Red Death.
Does it matter which one I get or are these different in name only?
I was looking at some guides online and a lot of people have been recommending berserker gear for a power necromancer (which is what im running atm). These trinkets dont have 'berserker' in their name though.
As I was leveling up my character, i occasionally got a piece of equipment where I could choose which extra stats I wanted, and they had different names to them (berserker, celestial, soldier etc).
I'm assuming when people refer to "berserker gear" they mean stuff that has the berserker-specific stat boost on it?
I was hoping that once I buy one of these rings, that I get to choose which stats I want on it (i.e berserker or celestial etc). Is that how it works?
Also, i am unsure if I wanna stick with necromancer or make a new character (i do wanna try out some of the other classes in the future to see how they play), but i tend to gravitate towards bruiser / fighter playstyles, as I enjoy being right up in the enemies face. I am aware that some gear can be transferred between different characters of the same account (via shared inventory or bank storage I think?).
In that regard, is the berserker statline something thats worth having on those trinkets or will I need to buy a new set of trinkets? I am not interested in min-maxing everything but it would be nice if I could reuse the same trinkets on multiple characters and still perform ok.
It's my first time playing an MMORPG (i dipped my toes into Lost Ark but didnt like it as it got extremely grindy and finding a group for group activities as a newcomer was impossible).
But im having a blast with GW2 and its been really fun and the people have been really nice (except for that one player who voted to kick me because I kept failing the jumping section in one of the fractals of the mist and ended up bleeding out outside the boss room after i fell)
