Utility / Gear synergy

On 8/8/17, ArenaNet gutted the existing system of utility consumables and replaced it with something that really was not an equivalent. Maintenance Oils no longer give Precision, but rather Boon Duration. Sharpening Stones and Tuning Crystals still give Power and Condition Damage, respectively, but in lesser amounts. Nearly all of the consumables were changed so that they are now based on converting different stats than before. What you were using before may no longer be worth your time or money, but short of doing a ton of lookups and calculations, you probably weren't certain what you should start using now.

So to simplify matters, I ran the numbers for every (almost) stat/utility combination and put them together in one place.

• The charts below assume you are wearing a full set of ascended gear (weapons, armor, trinkets) that consists only of the stats named, no upgrades, and no relevant stat-increasing traits applied.
• Some utility consumables grant bonuses to two statistics. The secondary bonus is listed in the "Other" table.
• Missing from the tables: Inconsistent sets (Shaman, Wanderer), the new Givers and Bringers sets, and utilities that don't affect stats (Bountiful Maintenance Oil being the only notable omission).

This is amazing! Thank you <3

Little side note: With PoF, things that might be useless at this moment in time could become very valuable again, so don't write them off too fast. ;)

This should have be perma-posted!!!

It'll probably need to be updated in the next few weeks as we get more info on the expansion. quasi permanent version here:

Just updated the charts last week, and of course I forget something. Bringers and Givers stats are missing.
