What's the point of non-Agony Resistance infusions?
I've found four types of infusions that go in offensive and defensive slots in ascended equipment:
- Basic ones, bought with laurels, that grant a +4 bonus to an attribute.
- Fine ones, made from a lot of tier 6 materials, granting +5 to an attribute and +5 Agony Resistance
- WvW ones, bought with laurels and badges of honour, granting +5 to an attribute and a 1% bonus against WvW NPCs.
- Simple ones, bought with Fractal Relics and granting +5 Agony Resistance.
+5 to a single attribute is next to nothing compared to the equipment's inherent stats. Simple infusions are the only one that look useful to me. Eventually replacing those with fine ones, while certainly an upgrade, seems hardly worth the effort. So what's the deal here?

Additional agony resistance over 150 does not offer any additional protection versus Agony, it does however increase the bonus stats received when using Fractal Potions. The suggested agony resistance at scale 100 can vary by \xb11 based on a character's max health, but the damage taken will be the same.How much agony infusion do you need?
