UPDATE: Although ANet stated missing stat allocations would be added, they were NOT added in this patch. Please help keep this thread bumped so ANet cannot ignore us!
In this last patch, 5 new Ascended Stats were added but Valkyrie (and also Carrion) stats are still not in the game. Could we please get an official response if this is an intended nerf or an overlooked mistake? I’d like to know if I’m grasping at straws in an effort to keep my playstyle alive or if I can relax and wait for next patch.
I run a thief build that is built around the 100% crit change in Stealth trait and thus any amount of Precision is a wasted stat. As a result, Valkyrie gear is just about the only stats that make sense with my playstyle. I’ve done a lot of number crunching in an attempt to mix and match the current Ascended stats to try to find a mix that isn’t marginally the same as exotic gear. I’m convinced that such a set does not exist for my build to remain viable. The issue gets worse as each additional Ascended Slot is added as I am nerfed by comparison because most builds are getting stronger.
My main grief is I am being prevented from playing the way I want (and the way I was able to play before Ascended Gear came out). This seems to directly contradict ANet’s Manifesto.
