Got a few questions about T2 gear.

I'm a 60 TR and I have only 4 pieces of T2 gear. A ring, belt, main hand and boots. I recently got the Swashbucklers bracers and Sinister Shade's armor but when I equip those instead of Master duelist pieces my GS goes down.
Why is my GS going down if these pieces have better Enchantments and have better stats?
Since I'm in Stealth most of the time would the GG set be better than Swashbuckler?
I think I can supplement the loss of power with the Stone since it's used for ArPen just change the gear and runes.

    I'm no expert at these things and I do not know how or why exactly you're losing GS instead of gaining em, but I'm thinking it might be because you are losing the set bonus by equipping two T2 pieces that do not give you a 2-piece set bonus.

    As for your 2nd question, since you're a rogue who likes staying in stealth for a prolonged period of time (just like me), the GG set would be our BiS equips at the moment. +25% Stealth Meter and +5% damage while in stealth is just too juicy to pass on.

    Aye I would lose the 400 Crit from Master Duelist but it seems that whenever I try to increase my ArPen through gear, don't have a a Stone, my GS drops even though my DPS increases.

    GS means nothing anyway, just ignore it once you got 8300/9200 and use whatever helps your build

    it does matter when everyone shouts 10k+ gs in their parties, i've even seen a 15k GF who stacked tons of power in his gear. He lacks other useful stats, but hey....gs is the best measure of skill in the game :p

    GS is just like your grade in the university. It makes your resume look good but does not necessarily reflect your actual skills.
    You say 4v5 is impossible? Cool story bro.

    It does matter because I can not join any groups due to there being a TR with more GS than me. Without atleast a 10k+ I can't do T2's even though I have experience in all but 2. Although my DPS is rather good since I can keep up with T2 GWF and most TRs if I can't get in the dungeon to show it means nothing.

    Hi I have a question about T2 gear as well. I am aiming to be a stealth rogue too, so what is the best set for me. Please say full set name, I don't know abbreviations. Also what accessories and weapons should I have?

    Thank you. :)

    The Gauntlgrym PvP set is the best stealth rogue set.
