say i want to be a tanky/healing necromancer? can’t use “soldier” “sanctuary” or “ice” because i don’t have freezing attacks or shouts “lich” and “speed” take away the toughness, forces me to choose more conditions or waste points into swiftness, and gives me a pretty worthless option at 6 (5%? 60 second cooldown? not for me). so my only options are the generic “divinity”, “wurm” (still no toughness), or “warrior” (-1 sec weapon swap is pretty lame compared to what the others get).

i realize things can’t be too perfect otherwise there would be balance issues, but at least give me a vit/toughness rune i can actually use with my class, other classes can use stability or quickness than just warriors or rangers. even with the healing runes boon duration means nothing to me, i eat boons for breakfast, give me ‘-X% condition/stun duration’ (on self).

(this is just a last minute thought) if i could have 6 runes that had 2 effects of my choosing and one pre-existing set bonus that wasn’t limited to certain classes/types of attacks, i would have the freedom to build what i wanted without feeling like i’m forced to play a specific role. and i do realize that crafting a ‘boon duration’+lyssa’s ‘gain all boons’ would be game breaking, so i don’t want that.

i’d just like a few more choices.
