Oulak.3610 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 So I'm running a Power Chrono build with all Berserker items. I have the holosmith's ascended sword (berserker's stats) for my main hand, and I'm looking at the weaver's ascended sword for my offhand, but I don't want to lock myself out of a good condi option for my weaver if I don't have to. So, my question is what deals more damage in a power Chrono's offhand - an exotic sword with 'zerker stats or an ascended sword with viper's stats?

Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Exotic Berserker. Though this sounds like a temporary issue, since you'll work yourself up to an ascended sword eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasoki.5180 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If you are playing power build, berserker is almost always the main and only choice fo your gear. Also, you can always exchange stats on ascended weapon, so I dont get the issue here to be honest xD If you have ascended sword as offhand, make it berserker for chrono, and you can then change it into viper's for your weaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Ant.1605 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 PChrono is a bit different when it comes to gearing. If you expect to take it raiding a lot/you know your comp will slow things for you, sure, go full zerkers. Otherwise, it might be better to tack on some missing crit chance% using assassin gear (and if you cant use Danger Time at all, expect to be putting on A LOT of it). Back to the main question, your phantasms (the main attraction of OH sword) are completely unaffected by weapon strength since they use their own. That being said, getting ascended doesn’t even really matter, but the exotic zerkers completely would trump the ascended viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oulak.3610 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thanks for the comments folks, they're exactly what I was looking for. I switch back and forth between my mesmer and elementalist very often (like, daily), so switching stats on the sword that frequently doesn't make sense. I'll just stick with the exotic berserker stats until I can fashion a third ascended sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
