Demolisher's Amulet for open world.

As the title states, it would be amazing to have the Demolisher's Amulet as a stat set options, it is the counter to the Marauder Amulet. Which personally doesn't do much for my build as a Warrior or Guardian. Please, Devs add this to the next expansion or Living Story. Thanks.

My bruiser mirage runs "demolisher", in a sense - ~2000 power, ~30%crit, ~1800 toughness, ~200% crit dmg. Got some minor vitality, condi dmg and healing power as well so its a hybrid but you can balance it however you want.

Well of course you can do that. Here's my stats (buffed by a keep so +100 (no presence though), 25 bl and utility/dodge food):

So basicly, we dont need demolishers because WvW can already do much, much better lol.

your crit chance is very low and so is your toughness. you be somewhere around 55% crit chance and your toughness should be no less than 3200. so it doesn't come close to it.

Since you are right about the crit chance for PvP (demolisher has 55% base) but laughably off on toughness (1560 base) I have no idea if that was a real response or some joke. Confusing toughness with armor isnt the case either since demolisher have zero vitality that adds to armor. If we are talking some weird conversion that doesnt make sense either, since PvE marauder is +650ish vitality vs PvP marauder at +560 vitality. Demolishers just shift that to toughness, so around 1650 toughness - nowhere near 3200.

Since this is WvW, you can shift stats to get your 55% crit. Well, at least, since it literally impossible not to have 1000 extra stat points somewhere, unless you want to run around in greens or yellows just to gimp yourself to PvP levels.

This is false. Knights and cavalier both have a worse stat-spread than demolishers for most classes. 3 stat combos have ~9% less stats than a 4 stat-combos.

Knights and cavalier both have precision OR ferocity as off-stat and power as secondary stat. Toughness as main stat. You drop power compared to marauder / demolisher mixes. You also drop precision OR ferocity compared to marauder / demolisher mixes for the same toughness value. You also lose stats overall.

So while you can already "simulate" demolisher type armor by mixing gear, it's strictly WORSE than adding demolisher as an option. If cavalier / knights would lead to better optimization we'd still use those; but i'm certain demolisher would be used by minmaxers.

I don't think it makes a huge difference, but please don't spread lies. I'm sure you can get more stats than a WvW demolisher amulet, but obviously when added to PvE / WvW it is available as "ascended 80 stats" rather than exotic 78 stats.

For minmaxers everything not pure is always gonna be worse.

I see it as people desperately using that extra 10% to even compete with hybrids.

Captains is a better alternative than Knights and Cavalier for adding Toughness without impacting your direct damage. It beats both of those stats since it has a major Precision with a minor Power. Since it only is available for trinkets, it will only work if you don't want a large amount of toughness.

I have to agree with op, it would be nice to have access to many of the PvP stats. Unfortunately, POF is only providing access to a bunch of oddball stats for PVE.

Both options are hybrid by definition. Either way optimized will be a hybrid mix of marauder, demolisher and possibly knights, captain or cavalier for optimization still.

That doesn't change the fact that you claimed your hybrid is better when in reality it has less stats and / or a worse stat spread no matter how you see it.

Wrong!

Demolisher in WvW would give you:2173 power60,86% crit chance2600 armor (light armor class)192,2% crit damage

There is not a single stat combination available that can achieve this!

The closest way to get this atm. is a mix of berserker (weapon, armor, backpack) and knights (trinkets):2178 power50,76% crit chance2596 armor (light armor class)185,67% crit damage

As you can see you are losing 10% crit chance and 6,5% crit damage which is definitely noticeable.

There are a few other stat combos you can do with less loss in crit and negligable power/armor loss. Mixing assassains/zerk/knight I got2114 power55.81% crit chance2516 armor (light)188.13% crit dmg

On a dps golem sure it will show compared to theoretical full demolisher, in practice in WvW it becomes completely irrelevant as there are so many other thing that play part in your actual success in combat. Hell even on nearly 3k armor a shatter mesmer can still insta-kill me, a rapid fire burst can do 3k a pop, a spellbreaker can do 8k on full counter alone and a backstab thief can down me in 2s. There is a reason most sane people ignore toughness. I'm not sane though. I play by my own experience and have ran the entire spectrum of 1000 to 2000 toughness to find an intermediary that fit my general playstyle.

But I concede, the base stats (ignoring all additional stats) is not better than pure. It would be a few percent higher. Not nearly enough to make up for bad players or cause good players to win more than they would otherwise.

thank you for standing your ground, but also finally understanding that using a hybrid set up is nowhere close to using a full set of pure stat. i did mix up toughness with armour earlier.

thank you for putting this numbers together. > @Sovereign.1093 said:

isnt 3.2k armor a bit too high?

i mean my guard, full cele just has around 3k total.

what you need so much armor for?

direct damage reduction. Marauder helps you survive condition damage, why not one for direct damage.

Not sure I understood that since I consider coming within 10% fairly close (negligable in 95% of fights), not "nowhere close". Plus I would also consider pure toughness in the low range and no vitality a very poor choice in WvW on pretty much anything except maybe warrior. Even dropping like 5% crit and 100ish power or something in exchange for 300-400ish vitality (ie dump in marauders instead of zerker/assassain in the try-to-reach-demolisher combo example) could be a fight winning advantage.

crit by passes armor though. and so vit > armor in your case as mes. but is ok, if that build gets you wins, all for it.

i do remember the cav warrior, who could handle 5 to 7 unskilled players. but was prior to condi buff.

I believe that critical damage is a damage multiplier only and does not bypass armor. Vitality is still the better attribute even against direct damage. So Marauders, Valkyrie, Soldiers, and Sentinels are better than any of the toughness only stats. This is just comparing direct damage vs your ability to survive so it doesn't account for dodges, immunity, healing, condition damage, etc. I'm sure theres exceptions depending on your profession.

thoughness can be better than vitality for direct damage when you factor in healing. because your heals would make up for more % of the damage taken.

Also think about healing! I have done the math dozens of times in this forum: The less damage you take, the less healing you need to recover, the more effective your healing becomes. The only exception would be if you would have an excessive healing source that caps even a large health pool everytime it heals. Then vita would indeed be better as it would protect you against direct and condi damage at once. But there is no such excessive healing source, because ANet knows this would be stupid (=counter intuitive) and render the whole toughness stat useless.

Talking about exceptions where marauder is without a doubt better than demolisher. There are exactly 4:

  • you play thief (11k HP)
  • you play ele (11k HP)
  • you play guardian (11k HP)
  • you duell a trailblazer/dire build (deals no direct damage at all)
