Guardian set worth at this point?

My bear is now 51 (almost 52, actually). I started for a tweaked dual-spec and my stats are STR 140 / DEX 119 right now, and I wear STR weapons. I used part of money gained during levelling for buying some equipment and did all AO3 quests, so now I have Mystery set, both Cyber Rift Sets, and both Gurgox and Sunblessed Rift sets.

Today question is: It worth to use +350K for a Guardian set now? Or I achieve better results starting to use yellow/green BS items once I reach 53? :confused:

(I did the same with my bird and my mage before - lev 51 BS yellows/greens was poor in comparison with L50 full sets).

Instead of the Guardian set, may I suggest going with a Sentinel gun set instead? Seeing how you're tweaking your bear as a dual-spec, you'll find more versatility in swapping between it and a Cyber Rift set. It'll give you plenty of range attack. I took that path when my bear reached 50. I had a cyber rift set while doing my cyber quests with a previous character, and borrowed the sentinel from my bird.

Picking up the Guardian seems a bit redundant seeing how you already have decent tank gear in the cyber rift. I'd rather spend the money in areas I don't already have covered off, especially if you're going to dual spec.

I suggest levelling up to 53 and getting cheap green/orange BS gear there.

If you can get cheap 51s, would be better, IMO, but we know how 51s can get pricey at times.

Investing in a 350k set which you would only want to replace in a few levels doesn't sound that good to me.

I prefer Hate over Rift, but I wouldn't spend that money on a set which you will only wear for a little while. Better save the money for good level 55 items and wear your Rift and the better sewer drops you'll get until then.
Also I think once you really tried dex on your bear the str gear moments will be rare... :)

Str moments rare? I always use str gear on my Dual spec (str/dex) bear ... Hmm.. But of course I still need rr talon and leather to complete my mob clearing set lol.. I always use str gear while clearing cuz my rr xbow and cap and henchman leather can't keep me alive..

First, thanks to all for your suggestions.

IDK, right now the DEX gears I can use are too underpowered to make a real comparison, but I took that in account. I plan to put in DEX the 5 points from levelling to 52 and respec one more point from STR - stats will be 139/125 and according to some calculation I should be able to borrow my bird Sunblessed Void Set. That will be the moment in which the true STR/DEX gears match will start for me :o
