Hey I have a 14k GS conqueror IV GF (15 str 26 con 19 dex stat distribution), mostly for PVP, currently stacking regen and crit.
I may get my artefact shield in 1 hour(1 favor left), but was also thinking about buying a belt, since they are really not expensive at the AH.
So which belt should I get?
Con belt would be nice with tons of extra HP and a little bit of armor penetration, but that 300 def would be only an overkill (have 5k already).
Dex belt looks perfect, but costs 3-4 times more, armpen, CRIT and power, I could benefit from all of the stats nicely.
Str belt, could be a cheaper alternative, since even cheaper than the con belt, also the deflect would be better than the def at my point.
For main hand:
I can't decide which artefact sword should I take.
Most the time I use cleave, it is simple fast and aoe, so it would be logical to pick the wep with the bonus for this:
(power, armpen, def)
My secondary at-will is threathening rush, a nice gap closer, but I only gap close with it.. so...
(power, HP, def)
Had some attempt using crushing surge, well not bad, especially if i can land a 3rd strike, since that hits harder, but the arte wep only grants bonus to the healing from it which is ridiculous.
(power, def, life steal)
Tide of iron, well hard to hit things in pvp with it, but at least the wep adds a good bonus for it.
(power, HP, def)
So I feel like dex belt would be the best for me, since all of the stats would boost my poor offensive base and since I will dump tons of AD woth RP into it, i should get this one, even if costs 100k more now.
For weapon I still do not know which could be the best, probably the one for cleave, because it gives me armor penetration and I were using cleave all the time.
Other option is to stack and stack HP both in belt and wep, since regen works with HP %.
And for last my 3 artefact artefact.
Waters is a certain one.
For the other 2 slot, what should I take? (was thinking of raven skull and HR artefact).
Belt - CON belt. I understand you already have a massive amount of defence, but you simply cannot say no to HP if you PVP. HP is king and it synergises with regen. What does the rest of your gear look like? I'd rather drop defence from my existing gear and take the CON belt.
Mainhand - There are two common choices here; Audacity for the arpen and Dragon's Courage for even more HP. I took the Audacity for the Arpen and because I still do some PVE and I use Cleave when I PVE. I suppose the Vanguard sword would be another good choice.
Offhand - Try and get the Shield Talent buff and regen stat unlocked.
Artifacts - Waters (regen, cleanse, heal, all needed in PVP) and Raven Skull (more regen and more stamina/guard) are top choices. For the third one, if you have a GWF, I'd go for the GWF Sigil because it has power, arpen and MOAR HP. However, the Hunter's sigil does look decent as well if you do not have a GWF.
PSA: You don't need to grind Spinward Rise for your Elemental artifact main hand if you have some AD lying around. You can craft it via the Tyranny of Dragon's campaign screen.
