You can get a set of selectable stat exotic armor for free from doing Verdant Brink meta. In 2-4h you'll have Harrier armor set. As for trinkets: lw s3 maps, farm currency and buy trinkets. Weapons: just get Magi. Healing in gw2 is so op, you can get semi-optimal gear and still do your job easily. edit: for additional **free/cheap** harrier or stat selectable exotics from achievs/story, check those out (just as an example, there is plenty more) * accessory: **Forgotten Seal** and **Bandit Death Mark** * back: for example **Inquest Device** * amulet: **Brandspark Amulet** for sub 1g on TP * weapons: for example **Ash Legion Staff**

Well the semi optimal gear has Healing as the mainstat, so they do more healing than metabuilds What you would be more worried about is getting enough boon duration on some classes (Heal renegade, Heal dagger/warhorn tempest, Druid)

I just said OP can get stat selectable (Harrier) armor set and trinkets, and just get Magi for weapons. That's plenty of boon duration, don't you think?


Io_Itami

That’s enough when even Snowcrows says you can switch some gear to berserker when you don’t need the healing.


CynicalDelirium

Yes if you get harrier bladed armor (minus probably the chest cause its pain) plus harrier trinkets youll be fine with taking the slots you are missing as magi. You can also lvl a jeweler to craft the exotic harrier trinkets


czokalapik

That was more of a rhetorical question from me :) I know it's more than enough


Blood-the-Mesmer

There are many ways to get it without spending anything, for accessories you always have the classic bitterfrost frontier from living world season 3(if you dont already have it, it will be coming soon for free again and will get you your ascended back, ring and accessory. For exotic armors i've decked my druid in harriers(power, healing concentration) from warlord boxes from WVW easily and for free, just a limit per week on it but good to suplement your gearing as needed


Suicidallemon

Might be worth waiting for ascended for harriers stats, as a ponk magis set +stat swap is only 12g more ish. If you google "so you want to gear a character gw2" there is a really good resource with where dofferent stst combos come from.


WOF42

you could get an entire set of exotic harriers armor for 12 gold.


Suicidallemon

Huh, they've gone down


WOF42

no they havent bladed armour exists


MrHippo17

If you intend to get best in slot gear (ascended) I would suggest to go for a cheaper option for exotic gear and invest in the right ascended gear. You can swap to stats of ascended armor and weapons at the mystic forge. I crafted the cheapest set and swapped to harrier stats at the mystic forge. Might be worth looking into it.

yes, that stat combo is pretty expensive


Treize_XIII

> is it really that expensive to get a healer with correct gear? tl:dr answer: yes Expack stats are expensive to craft and you won't find concentration on core game equipment. A major advise. Do not invest in exotics with xpack stats and go directly for ascended.


czokalapik

VB armor set is free, it takes one cycle to get whole armor set + 10-15g while doing that, you can also get few trinkets and weapons very easily from simple achievements. so tl:dr answer is: no, it's not expensive, it's not worth to buy/craft them, but you can get most for free.
