In Guild Wars 2, armor is a key component of character progression, offering stat boosts, visual customization, and gameplay advantages. Heres a breakdown of armor mechanics: Armor Types Light Armor: Worn by Elementalists, Mesmers, and Necromancers. Medium Armor: Worn by Rangers, Thieves, and Engineers. Heavy Armor: Worn by Guardians, Warriors, and Revenants. Each type has unique aesthetics but functions similarly in terms of defense scaling (though heavy armor offers slightly higher toughness). Armor Rarity Tiers Armor comes in different rarities, affecting stats and upgrade potential: Basic: White (Common), Blue (Fine), Green (Masterwork) Mid-Tier: Yellow (Rare), Orange (Exotic) Endgame: Pink (Ascended), Purple (Legendary) (Ascended and Legendary have identical stats, but Legendary is fully customizable and swappable.) Stat Combinations Armor stats vary based on prefixes (e.g., Berserkers for Power/Crit, Vipers for Condition Damage). Popular sets include: Power DPS: Berserkers (Power/Precision/Ferocity) Condition DPS: Vipers (Condi/Precision/Expertise) Support: Harriers (Healing/Power/Concentration) Tanky: Celestial (All stats) or Trailblazers (Condi/Toughness/Vitality) Obtaining Armor Crafting: Use disciplines like Armorsmith (Heavy), Leatherworker (Medium), or Tailor (Light). Dungeons/Fractals: Unique skins and Ascended drops. Raids/Strikes: Elite-level Ascended/Legendary gear. Trading Post: Buy Exotic/Ascended pieces (e.g., "Named" armor like Devonas for Berserker stats). Achievements/Collections: Legendary armor (e.g., Envoy from raids, PvP/WvW Legendary). Upgrades & Infusions Runes: 6-piece set bonuses (e.g., Scholar Runes for Power builds). Infusions: Slot into Ascended/Legendary for extra stats (e.g., +9 Agony Resistance for Fractals). Transmutation & Fashion Wars Use Transmutation Charges (earned via gameplay) to change armor appearance while keeping stats. Outfits: Cosmetic-only full sets (no stats). Legendary Armor Perks: Stat-swapping anytime, free rune extraction, and prestige skins. How to Get: - PvE: Raid collections (Envoy Armor). - PvP/WvW: Reward tracks and Skirmish tickets. Tips for New Players Start with Exotic (cheap and effective for most content). Work toward Ascended for high-tier Fractals/Raids. Use the Wardrobe (Bank tab) to preview skins.

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
