Rune of Strength: The 4-piece bonus has had its might duration reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds for both the Major and Superior versions. The 6-piece bonus has had its damage bonus reduced from 7% to 5% while under the effect of might.
Sorry to everyone who owned any of these. It’ll probably go even lower in the coming hours.
This makes me so happy. I had 2 just sitting around that I bought as a part of a fire/hoelbrak/strength might stacking runeset last year when I was a scrub, and I sold them a few weeks ago to make madz profitz

It’s a good change, I just wished it wouldn’t hit the elementalist harder than any other profession using it. I mean, it’s not like we’re not relying on Rune of Battle or something…
If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.
well, it didn’t jive with other rune sets. people knew it was the weird one by offering more than similar other ones. This update just brings it in line with those. Really, this update was just begging to happen. But there are lots of other things also begging to happen that haven’t happened, so it’s hard to predict what will happen :P
What are players replacing it with? I see that it’s not as strong, thus less desirable, but is the difference enough that players are using something else?
The Random Number Gods are nothing if not predictable.
Crafting is designed for gear accessibility, not profit.
Scholar and Pirate/Ogre are the most popular replacements, Hoelbrak too.
Doesn’t matter, the rune is still godlike and I’m keeping it on my ele. The nerf to the 4th bonus was nothing, I can stack so much might anyway. The 6th bonus 2% damage nerf is whatever, brings it in line with Rage runes, so I’m fine with that.
People are panicking because they saw nerf and thought it was useless now. Which is kind of good, because now they’re affordable. In fact, I’m willing to say our good friend John Smith was in charge of balancing these runes, just to bring them down in price without over nerfing them. :P

John is in charge of the economy, not balancing powers of runes. The drop in price is a result of the balance fix.

You missed the joke…
Nah I got the joke, but realize that there are a lot of people who don’t understand things, so you kinda gotta clarify for their sake. We don’t want the uninformed blaming John for everything… even though they already do.
