I love how you can change gear and trait lines in dungeons now, I think it was a great addition to allow people the flexibility to change how they play anytime, anywhere… outside of pvp lol.
My suggestion is to allow players to have 2-3 tabs for runes on their gear. So you can have your zerk set with runes of the scholar, runes of strength, or runes of the ogre. Maybe you want to be a support role in wvw, so you equip your cleric set with runes of the monk, or runes of mercy for reviving people quickly, or maybe you’re going solo and want runes of the defender?
I’d love to try and use all these runes on my current gear, but I can’t currently swap out such expensive runes and buy them every time I want to try them, so I suggest you allow us tabs so we can swap them on one set of gear any time we’re out of combat. This will allow players more flexibility in experimenting with new runes, without losing their current set.
