Difference is that you are asking and i am not.
Its like this: you are writing a math exam and you dont know how to solve an equasion so you ask the teacher if you can get full points for writing a poem instead

They do help but they are not needed nor do they give advantage to players who have them.

I want griffon, aurora and gift of battle from raids. I do not get that because it is crazy and it is not how games work

"Problem" is not a problem. Thags why there are "".
Everyone statisticaly cannot be millionare because ones succes is linked to others fail. In raids if you clear the raid it doesnt mean that someone else will fail automaticaly.
There are players willing to carry you (for compensation).
You dont need to be usain bolt to get legendary armor, you just need to train enough so you can finish 100m race.
So I will rewrite my statement. Anyone who want raid legendary armor and actualy try to reserch and complete the challanges will get it.

I dont know. Please explain.
Also we was refering to players so including you. Dont know why 3 ways are too little but aurora has only one way and thet is enough.

The "problem" here is not that majority cannot play raids/wvw/pvp but that they dont want to. There are 3 ways to get legendary armor and that is not enough. Meanwhile there is only one way to get legendary accesory. I dont want to do openworld so i will not get that even if i want to.
Everyone (and i mean everyone) can get raid armor. I know people that clear dhuum CMs with one hand. Hell i know one player that cleared dhuum CM without hands. Legendary gear is about going out of your comfort zone.
Raiders ned to go to ow for armor/ring, fractal players too for backpack, ow players need to go to wvw for gift of battle etc.

I do it quite often because

I thought the problem with legendary armor was difficulty.
Yesterday i finished first precursor for legendary ring. Havent done it for a long time and one of the reasons was that I need griffon for the last part. I didnt want to buy and more importantly run in open world more that was nececary so I payed someone to port me. Still I had to be there. Same concept

Only problem is cairn rest can be easily bought. And even cairn is relatively easy when you are doing nothing else. Certainly easier then some fractal challanges required for backpack

> The other locked rewards are behind content that is far more accessible, it’s much easier to play alone or find a nicer group that to lose lots of time with raids. What I mean is not that the process of getting the skins should be easier, but the process of getting started. Finding 4 for fractals or jumping straight into PvP, WvW, or General PvE is easier and less stressful. I just want an armor set with uniquely legendary skins obtainable anywhere besides raids
For me vriffon is locked behind extremly hard content because i am falling asleep after 5 minutes in open world. There is no other way to get it.
On the other hand you can BUY legendary armor from other players just as you can buy legendary weapon on trading post. Instead of searching in trading post you search in lfg.

For legendary weapon i need to do openworld, for griffon i need openworld, for warcraw i need wvw. For backpack fractaks or wvw.
For armor you need raids or wvw or pvp. Yes you can buy weapons for gold but you can do the same with armor.
Oh and i do need legendary armor because I use 7 diferent stat combinations not to mention 8 diferent runes and infusions. Just weapons and trinkets take 70 slots in my inventory so there wouldnt be enough space for another 7 sets
Edit: And also if you dont need it and we dont need it then there is no reason for anet to dedicate recourses to change that

I wasnt making myself clear. Why are you hoping for that? All other "locked" rewards are fine but this one isnt?

Dont know where you saw that but most chronos now have 1000 toughness so i usualy tank with 1005-1280 (depends on soulbeasts, renegades, firebrands...)
If I see a chrono with high toughness that doesnt want to tank then it would be usualy better to leave that squad since statisticaly they are baaaaaad.

Problem is that it is a peak. You will have a time when its only 10 might so rest need to provide more then 5 to make up for it.
Also renegade uptime at least 14 seconds of protection each 18 seconds.
Either SS + heal skill in case of healer or
SS + icerazor (and 2 icerazors if you have orders in second legend)

All of this is with fractal challenge modes in mind, normal T4 are of no real concern difficulty wise and can be done on whatever (if you were into serious mythic+ dungeoning in WoW).

Since nothing in fractals lives long enough to require long sustain, DH is a top tier pick next to weaver. The main difference: DH comes with a ton of utility and cc on a very simplistic rotation. If you are new to fractals, I'd recommend DH hands-down. This doubles as you could use the first ascended gear set for DH (assuming berserker gear) on a bannerslave power warrior if so desired.

Scourge was also a thing I've done quite some research on since I mained Necro back in vanilla (or core? or what do you call it over here?). But back then I already got kitten-talked about the class even before entering the dungeon. I just got tired of justifying for playing Necro (or Reaper or Scourge or whatever). That has probably more to do with philosophical issues than with playing some off-meta stuff.

Just remember that quickbrand uses diferent gear in raids since you get free boon duration in fractals. Also since fights in raids are longer, runes of flame legion (i think this is the name, not sure) come ahead in damage.
The only diference is axe instead of scepter. Septer is higher dps but axe provide fury (20% crit chance) so if you have fury from other scourse scepter is much better (not just dps but also helps with might uptime). Other possible scourses might be runes of the pack on renegade, for great justice from warriors, blasting fire fields from weavers, some bet from ranger (lion i think) or storm spirit from ranger.
Remember that you can prestack boons before fight and since fights in fractals are usualy quite short so quite often prestacked fury will be enough for whole fight and axe will not be needed.
Next trick that can be ultilized is swaping to DH and setting traps on the ground before fight, then swaping back. This will provide cc and burst at the start

Heroic command, cd 8s, max 10 might for 16 seconds.
Pug groups also play cms without a healer (soulcleaves summit is more then enough)
The trait ps is in meta builds for some time. That is alk I am saying

Dh has same gear as fractal quickbrand so you get 2 in one :D

There are 2 meta setups. Chronk bs and 3 dps. All of them stack some might
And quickbrand, diviner renegade, warrior 2 dps.
Renegade can upkeep ~16 might, rest need to cover missing might
In "pug meta" druid stack might but renegade has same BD so again, rest need to stack might there too

Or fun since its something diferent.
I stopped playing fractals because it was too frustrating (and slipery slope + social ackwardness makes me sick) but now i play sometimes again as firebrand or ren instead of chrono that i play in raids

Warriors in fractals still play this trait. They just dont use might duration anymore because they dont need to stack 25 might but just a few

I guess that is fractal composition...
Quickness is from fb, alacrity from ren, fury from firebrand and mighr from warrior, ren and quickbrand and maybe vulture stance.

Right now fractal meta have no dedicated mightstacker, multiple players stack some might but none perma 25.
If you have heal druid the he/she stack all the mught but then it is not meta composition
