Guild Wars 2

Currently, runes like the Superior Rune of the Ogre and Superior Rune of the Golemancer have a 5% chance to summon an ally whenever the player is hit.

That chance is pretty low, especially considering the fact that there’s a cooldown on the ability that prevents them from being used to often.

Increasing the chance to 10% would make them a bit more reliable, without overdoing it, and would increase the fun factor a lot. Another suggestion is to make them appear when the player hits something instead of when they’re hit themselves (and then keep it at 5%).

Bottom line: when I get a golem, I’d really like to see it around often. They’re so cool. I don’t mind if they have to be weakened or the cooldown increased. As long as they’re reliable on appearing.

The superior rune of the pirate has 5% chance of summoning an parrot.
In an normal area it takes me 10~~ min to get the 5%,its not too little imo.

How long does it last and what does it do?

They dont do “much” , they attack, they stay behind incase you need to run away,
it lasts untill its dead,

Its quite powerfull though, it can kill a risen by itself.

- it aggroes everything it sees

I have to agree with this, i was rather psyched about ‘runes of the flock’ for my ranger, in all the days i played with them i think i saw the bird show up maybe once

Admitted, the golem is pretty useful when questing. Especially when you’re swarmed, if it does show up, it’s whirling attack can keep the enemies off you.

Still, it’s not something you can rely upon, it’s more of a ‘nice if it happens’ ability.

And of course, the better you get at dodging stuff, the less you’ll see it appear.
