Guild Wars 2

They are exploding. They seem to be the new solo power rune or something.

Yup, I had three in a steel chest and they blew out the chest… was quite surprising.

Quite.

The players realize after the patch, that the nerf of the crit. damage is much more than expected.

Perhaps pure power builds with might stacking could be the next meta. Who knows.

But the raise is impressive.

I have been running both my ranger and guardian as power / might stacking builds for almost a year now. However, runes are Hoelbrak essentially the same as runes of strength (same power, same might duration), but a fraction of the cost even a year ago. Now runes of strength are at crazy levels.

I’d say they’re extremely different, -condition duration vs 7% damage? That 7% damage is a really big deal for PVE dps, the -condition duration can be a big help in pvp.

Scholar runes are still the best when you’re in a group for damage. But Runes of Strength are definitely the best runes now for soloing.

I was able to buy 34 of these before the patch for like 1.2g. keep going up!

It exploded after Nike did a guide on GW2 Guru on the new meta warrior which included these new runes.

I think they should have buffed the other runes even more because we’re still down to only a few good choices. I mean, who chooses a rune that makes you res faster over high damage? The person you’re ressing likely did a lot more damage than you and – when ressed – will get better loot because his damage contribution is higher.

you’re a fool if you wear these.

umad

Elementalists are using them as well.

It’s funny that this Rune adds 45% Might duration while almost every other Rune that focuses on a specific boon adds 30%. The fact that this ALSO adds 7% damage in the presence of the easiest to maintain boon is icing on the cake.

Odd that they previewed Rune of Strength and it happened to be one of the two best buffed runes along with Rune of Exuberance. I think a lot of people, and thus the market, were expecting other runes to receive a similar bump. Instead a lot of other runes remained stagnant in comparison.

It’s very peculiar that this runeset gets 45% while others get 30%. That feels like an oversight that’ll probably get corrected.

In the meantime, sell em while you got em. The sell price on the TP is over 14g as the time of this post

It isn’t even a good rune for coordinate group right?

I need a good excuse to tell people why I’m too cheap to buy it.

@laokoko.7403 No it isn’t, scholar still king in coordinated groups.

Depends on your might stacking ability.

This rune is way overpowered…guarantee it gets nerfed.

On the one hand, I’m happy I bought 70 of these at 1g. On the other… could have bought so many more :o

You underestimate the power of convenience, and how many people PUG. Yes scholar is BARELY better in completely organized speed run groups where you are always at 25 stacks and at 100% health… but for your average PUG you are going to be much better off conserving all the might you can get. DPS will be much better with Strength in this scenario, especially if you ever drop below 90% health (hint: you will).

For solo play (PvP and PvE) as an ele, I can tell you it’s no contest to use strength over scholar. Ele can single handedly conserve 25 stacks of might now, WHILE getting a 7% damage boost. And you don’t have to stay above 90% health for the damage boost. You just can’t beat that.

When would be the best time to sell the 10000 runes that I bought at 1 silver?

The 7% damage is a little over the top with how accessible might is, which makes something like ogre runes and others completely obsolete.

A rune tweek seems unlikely with the price it’s at which might be an issue when the rune is clearly the best power set. Seriously, staying at 50g+ for a set can’t look good for the whole “rune rebalance” angle.

Should have started selling days ago.

I am waiting for them to spike to 50 gold each.

An obvious joke does not equate to trolling.

These runes are from salvaging only, right?
