Guild Wars 2

After bringing up some good points by Zaxares and Golden Truth, runes may not be the best choice, but instead a 10% damage sigil for weapons to bring it in line with dungeon sigils.

This wouldn’t make them required, as most PuGs or non-hardcore players don’t require others to have a specific dungeon sigil to maximize damage, and it would allow us to craft things using fractal rewards to help progress our character more in fractals.

Nah, that would make them undisputedly better than any other rune for Fractals, resulting in situations where high level Fractals start “requiring” the rune for runs. I’d much prefer to stay away from that.

Why would you want Easy Mode for FotM? AR from currently available items, plus player skill is all you need.

People would just complain that they need to have an entirely different set dedicated to fractals even if the fractal difficulty didn’t change.

This doesn’t even make any sense. How would these runes make it easy mode?

It’s basically what everyone runs but instead of 10% above 90% it’s static.

Furthermore, to the people who made actual rebuttal posts. People already have multiple weapons with each having a different sigil to increase their damage in a certain dungeon. Like Superior Sigil of Seeking for the 10% damage against inquest. So maybe runes wouldn’t be the best choice, but perhaps a sigil for a weapon, to bring it in line with other dungeons.

Looking at most PuGs and Dungeons, many don’t require you to use the specific dungeon sigil on your weapon, so it shouldn’t be much different in fractals.

I just think rewards from fractals should help players within fractals. The current runes won’t do that.
