Satchel of OR Box of ....what to buy? (engineer)

[gaymer.1648]

So I've decided that I'm going to buy one of those Satchel of X's Exalted/Emblazoned Armor OR Box of X's Draconic/Gladiator Armor for when I hit 80 to have a full set of exotic gear ready. Question is what set should I pick up? After reading some of the replies to my "help me engineer" post, I've decided I probably am going to go with a Power DPS build (Firearms/Holosmith/Explosives using a rifle). Which of those boxes or satchels would you recommend me picking up for that time?

If you're going with just a basic power DPS build then Berserker or Maurader armor should be fine. If you die a lot then you may consider Solider or Valkyrie.

+1 to Dace. However, Keep in mind that you will most likely exceed the 100% criticial hit cap with full marauder + firearms traitline. If you decide for marauder then do as Dace suggested, mix in 1-2 pieces of Valkyrie to get to ~55% crit Chance (you have +45% with fury + firearm traits).

As a reminder:

- Heavy armor: guardian, revenant and warrior. _Box of X's Draconic/Gladiator Armor_

- Medium armor: Engineer, ranger and thief. _Satchel of X's Emblazoned Armor_

- Light armor: Elementalist, mesmer and necromancer. _Satchel of X's Exalted Armor_
